Every Drop Counts

'' Every drop counts''
97% of the worlds water is salt, that means that there is only 3% that is fresh, and of that 3% percent Canada has 7%; and of the 7%, 80% in up north. did you know that it takes about 2.5 to 4.5 million tones of water to produce food for a person in Canada for one year, and that i takes 50 tones of water just to produce 1 tone of car. We are using way to much water.

'' It's melting away... it's wasting away... I need it, there's no doubt about it''
Our glaciers are melting and we are just wasting water we all need to help out because we all need it, we just can't survive without it. We can all start reducing our water by simply washing all our dirty clothes and not just the ones we want to wear, or by quickly watering plants and not leaving taps on.

'' It's what we've got it's all.... that's it''
All our fresh water is withering away, We half to make a change before it's all gone because there is no substitution.

Ocean Currents

Oceananic currents are the vertical or horizontal movement of both surface and deep water throughtout the worlds oceans. currents normaly move in a specific direction in the earths moisture , the resultant weather, and water pollution. Most surface currents are found 400 meters and up in the ocean these make up about 10% of the water in the ocean.

Gyres move clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

Deep water currents also called thermohaline cuculation, are found usually 400 meters below and make up 90% of the oceans water.
