Question

– If water is constantly recycled, why are we concerned about conservation?

In: Planetary Science

Answer 1

We are not running out of water on this planet. We are running out of usable water.

For example, The amount of water in the oceans is near limitless…. But we can’t use it for drinking or irrigation unless we take the salt out of it, which is expensive to do ( and then it would have to be transported inland ) .
