Freshwater BOTEC
Project Censored’s number one story for 2001 regards the privatization of the world’s water supply. The story states that “less than one half of one per cent of the world’s total water stock” is freshwater. Much less, I would think. As a botec, if the ocean covers two-thirds of the earth’s surface and the ocean is an average of two miles deep, that is enough freshwater to cover all of the continents to a depth of 50 feet. I might believe five feet. Anyone have better figures on this?
