Water covers 70.9% of the Earths's surface, and is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth, 96.5% of the planet's water is found in oceans. Only 2.5% of the Earth's water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in ice and groundwater. Less than 0.3% of all freshwater is in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, and an even smaller amount of the Earth's freshwater (0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products. Freshwater is essential for all known life forms and plays a key role in survival. Access to safe drinking water has improved over the last decades in almost every part of the world, however, approximately one billion people still lack access to safe water and over 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation.

Water flows through the blood, carrying oxygen and nutrients to cells and flushing wastes out of our bodies. It cushions our joints and soft tissues.
