Water Resources
Water resources world-wide are considered tremendous. Three quarters of the earth's surface is made up of water. However, 97% of the world's water is salty and of little direct value to man. Another two percent of our water is tied up as ice.
This leaves only one percent of all our world's water available for direct use by man. The demands for use of this fresh water are numerous, and often there are conflicts between water resource users. Below is access to water resource information that is of importance to those involved in production forestry, livestock management and forest land management.
