Fresh water sources Rain water (water has been evaporated into earth's atmosphere ) Drinking water Water for crops Ground water Largest source Drinking water after desalinated and refined Icy water Melting of polar ice caps Reduction of ice shelves over the arctic Second largest source

The Earth’s Different Forms Of Fresh Water Rain water: Evaporated water becomes fresh (from fresh or salty sources) Most accessible Used for drinking and agriculture Ground water: Natural reservoirs found below Earth’s surface Largest fresh water source Second Largest water source Much of it can’t be consumed directly; it must be purified Icecaps: Least accessible Second largest fresh water source Earth’s climate change causes ice in the Arctic to melt in significant amounts Less than two percent of earth’s water

Rainwater: Ground water: Ice water: Important source. Drinking water. Water to feed crops. Ground water: Largest source fresh water on planet. Second largest source of water found in the ocean(salty water). Ice water: Melting point. Difficult to drink but possible.

Sources of fresh water Rain water Ground water Ice caps - Supply to drinking water - Water to feed the crops - Very large source of fresh water - Second largest fresh water - Difficult to use but possible - Become a fresh water

Sources of fresh water Rainwater: Water evaporated into the earth’s atmosphere. Used as drinking water and to feed crops. Groundwater: Underneath the surface of earth. Largest source. Only a percentage can be refined. Used as drinking water. Ice: Second largest source. Difficult for consumption.

Sources of fresh water - rainwater - groundwater - Ice shelves Product of water evaporation Largest source of fresh water . Second source of water general . Second largest source of fresh water . Less than 2% of earth’s water . Reduces because the earth’s climate change . Uses: drinking water . Feeds crops . Uses: drinking water .

Water sources Ground- water Rainwater Ice Sea water Water cycle : Produce fresh water Largest source for fresh water 2nd. Largest fresh water sources Salty, not able to consume it by people 2nd.largest sources of water Suitable for drinking Difficult to drink but possible Feed crops Desalinated + refined

Water Sources Rain water Ground water Ice -Important source of fresh water -Earth evaporating production - Many countries, use it for drinking and feed crops Ground water -Largest source of fresh water -Second largest source of water -it’s underneath the Earth surface -Desalinated to use for drinking Ice -Second largest source of fresh water (less than 2% of water source) -Reduction as a result of melting because of Earth climate changes

Sources of Fresh Water • Rainwater how does it happen? usage • Groundwater (underneath the earth’s surface ) 1st source of fresh water - fresh ( used after desalination and refining ) - salty ( not consumed ) • Ice ( due to climate change ) 2nd source of fresh water <2% of the earth’s water
