  • Nearly 70% of the worlds freshwater is locked in ice.

  • Most of the rest is in Aquifers that we are draining much more quickly than the natural recharge rate.

  • Two-thirds of our water is used to grow food.

  • With 83 million more people on earth each year, water demand will keep going up unless we change how we use it.
