1) If Jimmy Hendricks just drank normal canned fruit juice instead of normal water, he would ironically be using more water indirectly, because the fruit needs irrigation, the packaging of the can is produced with water, and the juice itself is diluted with water.
2) To produce a loaf of bread, water is indirectly used to grow the grains to make the flour, in the packaging, for the workers in the factory, and for the yeast to rise.
8) The world's total water has changed because of increase in population growth and because of global warming and climate change.
9) Greatest to least total abundance on earth:
-oceans
-glaciers
-water vapor
-rivers
10) The quotation "water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink" can be exemplified when someone is stranded on a boat in the middle of the ocean with water surrounding the boat, but none of the water can be consumed. The water is too salty for drinking.
11) 77% of water is used on irrigation and agriculture in the West.
12) Fresh water makes of 2.8% of Earth's water supply. 2.11% of that fresh water is found in glaciers and 0.009% of the Earth's fresh water is found in lakes.
13) It might be possible that a molecule of water that I drank today was once drank by a dinosaur due to the hydrologic system
17) Each person in the U.S. uses an average of 370 Liters of water daily. Other sources, however, report that the U.S. per Capita water use is 4,960 Liters. The discrepancy is due to the fact that 370 Liters is direct water usage, whereas 4,960 Liters is indirect water usage. The indirect water use includes hidden uses of water that are not typically considered.
