This makes me feel a lot better about using water. I always felt like I was completely destroying the world when I took a shower. I'm not going to go out and use more water now, I just don't feel as bad for using as much as I do.

Water is something that never goes away.. it transforms, renews and recycles... and always will. We can never kill water. That is a fact.

Water is recyclable since we live in a biosphere. As long we don't pollute our rivers and skies, our water will always be available to us.

Absolutely brilliant!!!

This is such a helpful video!!!!Thanks so much!!

very much helpful from the point of view of my lesson

Great perspective into the amount of water we have and use. Thanks!

In a lot of areas, ground water is not replenished at the same rate was which it is used, and you see the ground water level go deeper. Even in rainy Vancouver. The wells in Langley see the ground water levels decrease and get contaminated by surface use.

Lots of places DO use surface water for everything, though. In BC, where I live, we get our everyday tap water from a lake atop a nearby mountain. It basically sustains a city of 12,000 people every day. But we get rain like nobody's business, so it's different.

What about the water in the atmosphere? Does that account towards "surface" water?

latitude and longitude lines cross at 90 degrees, so the shape of the country is distorted, but the areas are more close to real life. this makes it easier to compare countries by scale. its not used much in the west because it makes Africa, Australia and south America look bigger than the US and Europe, which they are.

Nice video, thank you ted ed.

The use of the word "literally" surprised.

How much goes to watering grass?

((وجعلنا من الماء كل شيء حي ))

Currently taking an environmental science course and the whole thing is about water and how to conserve it. People are actually trying to figure out ways to be able to reuse water. Right now, some ecofriendly buildings actually reuse water for their toilets. Some use rainwater for sewage and whatnot. But they haven't found a way to reuse water for drinking...so my teacher believes...

(from cont.) and uses something similar to Oxygen. We already know organisms that do not use Oxygen, but water is dipolar, so it has a wider range of things that it can dissolve. dipolar means both acidic and basic. Bases and acids are the same dissolving power based on how far from 7 in pH they are. Water has a pH of 7, but can dissolve many, many things.

What about the water in the atmosphere? Is that also surface water?

I have been saving rain water for years for use around the yard,. It's not that much just about 200 gal.when full.I keep my consumption down.

I wonder if fracking uses fresh water or salt water. Since fracking puts water into the ground that can not be recovered so it doesn't seem like a good idea to use fresh water for fracking.

I heard on NPR that there are some farms in third world countries that actually use tainted water. I'm sure there is a process to filter the water but in the end it is still dirty water. One farmer claimed that he gets more yield by using dirty water than anything else. Especially effective on his bananas. I think its on some farm in south america.

Great video!

In the future could we purify ocean water efficiently?

What about the Sea? You didn't mention it???

0:43 das not how you use literally

How about just "other compounds?"

Salty water would mean that there is a higher amount of solute outside of the plant cells than inside. This, in return, draws water out of the plant through osmosis and dehydrates the plant cells. This is called a hypertonic solution. As an experiment, try to drink salt water for a while. Sure it tastes bad, but what you'll notice is that you increasingly become more and more dehydrated. This is why we don't pour road salt over plants during winter as well.

Didn't think we only had 2.5 % freshwater... that gives me worry XD.

@Alec McKinney fences can be use as minerals for crops and trees. It is actually isny bad for your health because feces break dowb by bacteria then the trees use that mineral to grow. feces, dead animals and other dead stuff help crops to grow; that has been going on for million of years

Why can't we have seawater drying beds to convert seawater into salt and fresh water using the sun?

Using the periodic table, we can discern, and know experimentally, that Silicon acts like Carbon, making the range for Silicon-based life forms wider, and making it very interesting to see what type of liquid at higher temperatures they would use. But, there is more Carbon in the universe, because it takes less time for stars to create it. And so far as we have observed there is no life without water. There needs to be a compound that acts like hydrogen does with those weak bonds (cont.)

not 9.7% missing they went over by .3 % 70+30+.3= 100.3%. i just assumed since surface water is so small they just excluded. But also agree water can be used in more then one event if not consumed such as power and drinking water. This would be hard presentation to make though with water renewal through the water system its hard to really calculate water use and amounts.

IMO, what she said is true. Early forms of life came from and lived in water. So there really is no life (to begin with) without water. Peace. :)

water used to produce electricity is also used to grow crops, for human use and of course in industry. something smells wrong in TedEd land

sorry, i got it confused with the Gall-Peters projection

It would be better of the diagrams are proportional to the percent of the contents. You divide fresh water into 3 parts, but 0.3% should not look as big as 70% .

Why is an animation rendered as an interlaced video? The lines really annoy me.

why the word " vary"? eh?

Because Brawndo has what plants crave! We're scary close to the prediction in the movie "Idiocracy".

why not TEDucation?

I think some water is not totally treated after domestic usage and so recycled as farming water. Then again, domestic water is just a drop in the bucket.

"There's no life without it" untrue. But this is about the importance of water, after all. And it is important. Most life on Earth requires it anyways, so.

why cant we just turn alot of the salt water into fresh water by cleaning it and taking out the salt?

That's why water is BIG business

Talking about porcentages is misleading. The amount of fresh water in the world may seem minimal in the context of oceans, but is a lot more we will ever need.

Not as much as it could. We pollute the water so at some point it gets unuseable :/

That would be atmospheric?

Why can't people use salt water or dirty water for agriculture

Many think when talking about water problems like, what are they talking about? Water forms 97 percent of earth! Forgetting the fact it's not all drinkable water.

I guess you've never heard of desalinization. Methods have been invented but it's very expensive. Some countries use it... and when the fresh water supply gets stressed, more countries will follow suit.

Now I feel scared about what would happen if all fresh water were to be gone...

Hi

Duuude I had no idea what you're talking about. O__O Layman's terms please. Haha. Anyway, I'm not here to argue or something. But I believe that without water (fresh or salt water), we will all die, plants, animals, humans, everything. If other "periodic elements" can be an alternative to drinking water, then that'd be great. :)

It is a very very small amount. It may seem like a lot but it is actually not.

de-salination plants are expensive and take other resources to runt hem.
