Freshwater resources are vital for life on Earth, providing water for drinking, agriculture, and industry. These resources include rivers, lakes, and groundwater, which are essential for sustaining ecosystems and human populations. Freshwater makes up only about 2.5% of the Earth's total water supply, with the majority found in glaciers and ice caps. The management of freshwater resources is crucial due to increasing demands from urbanization, agriculture, and climate change. Over-extraction and pollution threaten these resources, making it important to implement sustainable practices. Protecting freshwater ecosystems ensures that future generations have access to clean and safe water.
