Water

You know how you think that the one thing in life that will never run out is water because of the water cycle? Here is an experiment to show that you are seriously deluded. I mean even i was surprised and a little bit overwhelmed at the results. You will need 4 different graduated cylinders, one 250 and 3 others with lower measurments in them. Take the 250 graduated cylinder and fill it to the 250 mark. Congragulations you now have all the water in the world salt and fresh water! Pour out 30 mil into a second graduated cylinder. That represents all the fresh water in the world. 3% of the earth's water is fresh. From the fresh water pour out 1 mil of water into another cylinder. That all the glacier water. pour out another 1 mil that is the polluted and water that we can't reach because it is underground. That leaves all of the earth to survive on 1% of the earth's water. Something for you to ponder.
