Did you know that freshwater consists of only 3% of the water on planet Earth and only 1% of that water is readily available for use for agriculture, drinking, industry, transport and energy, the rest is in glaciers, ground water and the atmosphere. This tiny amount of water is in rivers, lakes, streams, ponds and wetlands and contains 10 times the biodiversity of land and ocean.
This interesting course covers how freshwater systems work, the ecology of the organisms that live in freshwater and the threats to freshwater and what can be done to improve it for people and biodiversity.
