Summary

"No doubt about it, water is fascinating! It's also essential. Every living thing on Earth needs it, from big blue whales to teeny, tiny bacteria. But our planet is facing some serious water problems: Drinkable water isn't easily accessible to everyone, the demands for water around the globe are increasing while the supply is limited, and some human actions are causing disastrous ripple effects downstream for ecosystems and the animals that live in them. Fortunately, there is hope! And that's where this book comes in. By learning the ins and outs of important water issues and making small but powerful changes in our daily life, we can help protect the water that connects us all on our beautiful blue planet." -- Amazon.com"Water supports all life on Earth, but it's disappearing fast. How do we fight for it? It's time to take a close look at water-what we have available, how to conserve it, how to distribute it, and how to manage it for future generations to come. Next up in this core National Geographic, mission-oriented series, which includes the award-winning This Book Stinks and Kids vs Plastic, this book will be loaded with super wow-worthy water stats, infographics, and weird but true information and focus on everything about water"--, Provided by publisher
