Watery Planet - Library Binding

by Anna Claybourne (Author)

Water makes life on Earth possible. We need water not just to drink and keep clean, but also for agriculture, industry, transport, and much, much more. Only 1 percent Earth's water is available for us to use and it's at increasing risk. This volume examines uneven distribution to water, water wastage, pollution, and climate change. It explores how floods, droughts and rising sea levels are becoming a stark reality as the world warms. It also looks at some positive, practical solutions to our water problems and explains how we can all do our part to help save Earth's most precious resource.
