RE: An introduction to Water -- Properties, importance, and the distribution of water

in #steemstem6 years ago

Good job, a detailed article and a lot of information and your explanation of polarization was very good and simple. i have just a simple addition:
You said in your article that there is enough water to support life on Earth, Yes, you are right, but I disagree with you about how satisfied you are about this because freshwater who is drinkable directly Without processing represents only 3 percent of the total amount of water on Earth

97 percent of the earth's water is in the oceans needs chemical methods to make this water drinkable, as these are often expensive and some countries can not afford, this is why drought is a concern for many governments and peoples.

A World Bank report on development says water shortages threaten 80 countries, 40 percent of the world's population, more than 2 billion people are suffering from basic human needs and the most basic public health rules and governments around the world have recognized the potential of water infrastructure to complement other economic and social policies, including those aimed at improving health outcomes. It is no coincidence that one of the world's largest lending portfolios includes investments of $ 35 billion in water projects.

  • Thank you for this good article that worth reading a thousand times

Excellent feedback from a rearry attentive reader. Sad isn't it? that with all of the water available, such a large amount of it isn't drinkable and requires purification methods.

Which is why we can ever be grateful for the hydrologic cycle, nature's way of purifying our water. Enough, No? but we hope we get water t those places where there's less of it within the coming years.

Voted for visibility.
