Question
Chapter 12, Problem 1TYC
To determine
To explain: The difficulty in accessibility of adequate fresh water due to the distribution of water on Earth.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1TYC
There are problems in accessing the fresh water due to the uneven distribution of water on Earth and also because of change in water levels due to the action of time.
Explanation of Solution
Earth has an abundance of water, out of which,
The fresh water is mostly fixed in icecaps, aquifers, and glaciers and a little portion of fresh water is within reach of consumption. The remaining water is comparatively pure and few salts are dissolved in it.
There is an uneven distribution of remaining fresh water on Earth. Also, the fresh water availability varies with the time course. This creates major issues of water availability and in some places; there are crises of getting fresh water for their consumption.
