Only about 2.5% of Earth's total water is freshwater, but it is essential for daily life, agriculture, and industry. Most freshwater is used to grow food, while growing populations and pollution put pressure on water availability. Because water resources be used faster than it can be replenished, conserving water and using it wisely helps protect this limited resource.
