Although more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water, humans rely on a finite supply of fresh water. There are many causes for the decrease in supply of fresh water, but growing population, especially in developing countries, is among the biggest. In places without proper sanitation, water can also become polluted with diseases and parasites making clean water less available.
