Where on Earth is the water? Learn about the sources of water on our Blue Planet. How much is available for human consumption, and how much is locked up in the oceans, in glaciers and in the biomass? Visitors will explore current issues in freshwater quality and management learning about what determines water quality, how it is measured, and what stresses are being put on this natural resource.

A short video complements this interactive.
