Water, Water Everywhere!

Earth is the only planet in our solar system that has an

abundance of liquid water.

Over 70% of Earth’s surface is covered by

water.

There's a whole lot of water on Earth! Something like (326

million trillion gallons)

326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons

You have used water every single day of

your life! (about 6000 days!)

There are approximately 6 billion people on earth doing

the same thing.

Less than 1% of the water on earth is drinkable!

(.37% to be exact)

What would happen if we ran

out? Do you think that is possible?

Brainstorm the longest list you can of the different ways that you use water…

(minimum of 10 thoughts)

It takes 120 L of water to produce one 1.3 L can of fruit juice and about 450 L

of water to place one boiled egg on your breakfast plate.

What explanation can you give for these two facts?

Direct Use: water that is used to produce an actual product. (can be seen, obvious)

Indirect Use: water used to develop support for the product. (Usually not as obvious)
