Good morning Conrad. That is scary, I had no idea it was that low, sounds like we need some more rain.

Even scarier when you think how often that 3% is recycled...

I did not see this question earlier Conrad but say wow at the answer, considering how much of earth is water this is surprising.

Very, very scary with the potential to start wars over it. I am surprised that some of the comments suggest that desalination is always available. That may or may not be true, it is very expensive and that is why many of the world's population are suffering a shortage now.
