While the other three percent (3%) is fresh water which slightly over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The remaining unfrozen fresh water is mainly found as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above ground or in the air. Humans have many different uses for water, which includes: personal hygiene, drinking, cooking, domestic (household cleaning), recreational, industrial, food processing, agricultural, transportation and lubrication. Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water. Fresh water is a renewable resource, yet the world s supply of clean, fresh water is steadily decreasing. Water demand already exceeds supply in many parts of the world and as the world population continues to increase, so too does the water demand. Life on earth without water is difficult to imagine.
