ON EARTH
Water is a very prominent resource present on the Earth’s
surface which has got immense usage value ranging
across a plethora of human aiding activities.
The Earth is made 3/4ths of water and 1/4 the of land and
is essentially called for the same reason as the “The Blue
Planet”. This is because the oceans that cover roughly
70% of the area of the Earth reflect blue light and the
Earth appears blue from space.
Despite being abundantly available, water, as a resource in
terms of its usability, is very limited since its distribution
is highly uneven on the Earth’s surface.
