But despite the water covering 71% of the planet’s surface, more than half the world’s population endures extreme water scarcity for at least one month a year.
And current estimates predict that by 2040, up to 20 more countries could be experiencing water shortages.
Taken together, these bleak statistics raise a startling question: are we running out of clean water?
At a planetary scale, Earth can’t run out of freshwater thanks to the water cycle, a system that continuously produces and recycles water, morphing it from vapour, to liquid, to ice as it circulates around the globe.
So this isn’t really a question of how much water there is, but of how much of it is accessible to us.
It’s these sources of water that are being rapidly depleted by humans, but slowly replenished by rain and snowfall.
Diverse climates and geography provide some regions with more rainfall and natural water sources, while other areas have geographic features that make transporting water much more difficult.
And supplying the infrastructure and energy it would take to move water across these regions is extremely expensive.
In many of these water-poor areas, as well as some with greater access to water, humanity is guzzling up the local water supply faster than it can be replenished.
So while it’s true that our planet isn’t actually losing water, we are depleting the water sources we rely on at an unsustainable pace.
This might seem surprising – after all, on average, people only drink about two liters of water a day.
But water plays a hidden role in our daily lives, and in that same 24 hours, most people will actually consume an estimated 3000 liters of water.
In fact, household water – which we use to drink, cook, and clean – accounts for only 3.6% of humanity’s water consumption.
But the remaining 92% of our water consumption is all spent on a single industry: agriculture.
Agriculture currently covers 37% of Earth’s land area, posing the biggest threat to our regional water supplies.
Other industries are following suit, adopting production processes that reuse and recycle water.
On a personal level, reducing food waste is the first step to reducing water use, since one-third of the food that leaves farms is currently wasted or thrown away.
Adopting a vegetarian lifestyle could reduce up to one third of your water footprint.
Our planet may never run out of water, but it doesn’t have to for individuals to go thirsty.
It is made from very common substances: air, water, soap, in the right mixture.
On most surfaces, water droplets tend to curve inwards, forming a semihemisphere shape.
This is because the water droplet's surface is like an elastic sheet.
The water molecule on the surface is constantly being pulled inwards by the molecule at the center.
Now by adding soap, what happens is the soap molecule reduces the surface tension of water, making it more elastic and easier to form bubbles.
My question is: What is the shortest length to connect these four cities? Let's find out the answer by dipping it into the soapy water.
Her favorite spot is Penguin Cove at Marwell Zoo in Southern England, where she could see penguins swim at speed under the water.
Animals and birds like penguins that spend a lot of their time under the water have evolved an ingenious way of utilizing the capability of bubbles to reduce the density of water.
This reduces the density of water surrounding them, making it easier to swim through and speed up their swimming speed at least 40 percent.
In this system, they produce a lot of air bubbles and redistribute them across the whole of the ship, like an air carpet that reduces the water resistance when a ship is moving.
What it has is water inside the cells and when the voltage hits it, it opens up, releases the water, changes the shape of the cells, and the leaf falls.
