This title is intended for ages 7-14. Without water, our most
valuable natural resource, our planet would be a barren wasteland,
without plant or animal life. The Earth has a limited amount of
water that is recycled in the atmosphere, so action is being taken
around the world to protect our freshwater supply. Children will
dive deep into the this book to learn what water is made of and how
it was formed on Earth, how people use the power of falling water,
and how rivers shape landscapes. Topics included are: the process
by which the Earth's water is continuously recycled during the
water cycle; the Age of Sail when water was used as a means of
transportation for trade, and explorers sailed in search of the
Northwest Passage; how much of the world's water supply is held by
water sources such as subterranean rivers, geysers, springs, and
aquifiers; leach fields, sand filters, and lagoons, and how water
is treated before it is ready for human consumption; and the
biological needs that plants, animals, and humans have for water.
