freshwater demands and shortages  

Definición

  • Water covers about 70 percent of Earth's surface, and its interaction with the radiation from the sun is a major driver of climate events and the hydrological cycle, which continually recycles freshwater through evapotranspiration, condensation, and precipitation. Roughly 332,500,000 cubic miles of water are present in the oceans, land surface, and atmosphere—an amount that, for all practical purposes, can be considered constant.
