Freshwater is a critical resource for human survival, agriculture, industry, and ecosystems, yet it is depleting at an alarming rate. Only 3% of Earth's water is freshwaters, with two-thirds of that locked in glaciers or otherwise inaccessible, leaving less than 1% available for human use. This report explores the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to freshwater depletion, drawing on recent research and authoritative sources.
