Out of all the water on Earth, saline water in oceans, seas and saline groundwater make up about 97% of it. Only 2.5–2.75% is fresh water, including 1.75–2% frozen in glaciers, ice and snow,0.5–0.75% as fresh groundwater and soil moisture, and less than 0.01% of it as surface water in lakes, swamps and rivers.
Through this scientific model, and as kaitiaki (trustee, minder,guard, custodian, guardian, caregiver, keeper) of Whakamarama, the Wild About NZ environmental team gained an understanding of caring for our surface water. Carefully the students passed a teaspoon of water around (the 0.01% of the Earth's surface water) with the aim of not dropping any (becoming polluted water). Great job team - very little water polluted!
