Question

Why does water need conversation even though large oceans surround the land masses?

Answer 1

Water constitutes more than 70% of the total earth's-surface. Out of the total water resources only 2.7%, which is fresh water, is used by human beings for themselves or for agriculture and animal husbandry. Marine water is not uniformly available over the. different parts of the earth. Even at a particular place the demand and availability of fresh water differs according to season and climate. The demand for fresh water is likely to increase with the rising population, so it is essential to conserve this natural resource through proper management.
