Water apocalypse / produced by Asylum Entertainment for National Geographic Channels.
Despite its surface being covered with water, there is very little drinking water on Earth. Saltwater oceans dominate 97% of the water on Earth. Glaciers at our polar caps lock up 2% of our fresh water. Our population of 7 billion people and millions of animal species share just 1% of the water available on our planet. With climate change savaging weather systems and our population steadily rising, scientists and engineers all over the world are struggling to create local solutions for the growing global water problem.
