No doubt about it, water is fascinating! It's also essential. Every
living thing on Earth needs it, from big blue whales to teeny, tiny
bacteria. But our planet is facing some serious water problems:

water around the globe are increasing while the supply is limited, and

ecosystems and the animals that live in them.
Fortunately, there is hope! And that's where this book comes in. By
learning the ins and outs of important water issues and making small but
powerful changes in our daily life, we can help protect the water that
connects us all on our beautiful blue planet.
