three-fourths of earth is covered in water, yet only 3% is fresh and drinkable. of this, 65% is locked in glaciers, 1% flows in rivers, lakes, and ponds, and just 0.3% lies underground, serving over 8 billion people. global warming is causing sea levels to rise and soil to sink, leading to freshwater depletion. in salt lake, 17,832 cubic meters of groundwater are drawn daily, with 33,009 cubic meters lost annually, replaced by saline water from nearby rivers.
as concrete spreads, the ancient bond between soil and sky weakens.
to preserve life, we must conserve water, and replenish the earth with rain, ensuring a future of hope and healing.
