,just put it in an internet translator ,what is the problem.

or look for the same question from the French language flag here in Answers.the one called Quebec.

And maybe there are no French speaking people who know the answer???

melting ice,

Most of the worlds fresh water is locked in Ice

Apart from the melting ice,We are loosing a lot of potable water ,by damaging its production with deforestation.

As well as over using or wasting it,with extravagant or inefficient irrigation systems.

.

It goes without saying that gross overuse of water and waste leads to unnecessary energy spend on filtration,treatment and pumping

25% of the planets surface is land

75%of the surface is water and it is rising

------------------------------..

97%of the Earths water is salt

fresh water is only 3% of all the Earths water

most of it is beyond out reach

of this 3 %

74% is locked in ice  at the poles and in glaziers on the worlds mountains,and this is melting and running into the seas

groundwater 800 meters + 13.5 %

groundwater less than 800meters 11.o%

Lakes 0.3%

soils 0.006%

Atmospheric in circulation 0.0035%

rivers 0.03%

frozen land or permafrost is not included and represent an unavailable storage of 40%

so of the 3% about 11.6 ,is easily available to us ,in rivers, lakes and ground water surface aquifers,more and more of this is becoming contaminated

Because there is so little that we can use

WE SHOULD  HARVEST WATER
