Earth’s water is a finite resource and it is essential for life on the planet. The majority of Earth’s water is found in the ocean as salt water, however, freshwater is also available in rivers, lakes, ice caps, and underground aquifers. According to the United Nations (UN), approximately 2.5% of Earth’s water is freshwater, and of that just 0.3% is available for human use (UN, 2018). The majority of this freshwater is stored in the polar ice caps, glaciers, and underground. A small fraction of the freshwater is held in lakes, rivers, and wetlands, and it is this that people rely on for drinking and sanitation (UN, 2018).
