The Really BIG Picture
The good news - Unlike any other natural resource, we cannot ever run out of water.
'Before the dawn of civilization, there were 326 million trillion gallons of water on the Earth. With over 6 million people, we still have 326 million trillion gallons of water." GOOD magazine, Summer 2009
There Really Is A Whole Lot Of Safe Drinking Water;
- Relative To All Water, however, Safe Drinking Water Is A Small number (not amount)
" If all Earth's water fit in a gallon jug, available freshwater would equal just over a tablespoon - less than half of 1 percent of the total. About 97 percent of the planet's water is seawater; another 2 percent is locked in icecaps and glaciers. Vast reserves of freshwater lie under the Earth's surface, but much of it is too deep to economically tap" - National Geographic Special Edition: Water -The Chaos of Supply, November 1993
The diameter of a Hydrogen atom is one angstrom. One angstrom = 1/10,000 of a micron or (1x10 to the power of -10) meters.
