Water Supply of the World
The Antarctic Icecap is the largest supply of fresh water, nearly 2 % of the world’s total of fresh and salt water. As can be seen from the table below, the amount of water in our atmosphere is over ten times as large as the water in all the rivers taken together. The fresh water actually available for human use in lakes and rivers and the accessible ground water amounts to only about one third of one percent of the world’s total water supply.

【推荐3】The World’s Four Large Nature Reserves (保护区)
●Ross Sea Marine Reserve
Built in October 2016, the Ross Sea in Antarctica is home to the world’s largest marine reserve, covering 598,000 square miles in the Southern Ocean. The Ross Sea hasn’t been harmed by humans or damaged by overfishing or pollution. However, the rising demand for seafood and the low cost of fuel may encourage some fishermen to brave the journey.
●South Georgia Marine Protected Area
The South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are about 800 miles southeast of the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. Over half of South Georgia Island is ice covered, so there’re no people who are always living here. But the area is a rich environment that supports major populations of seabirds and marine mammals including globally threatened species.
●Greenland National Park
Greenland National Park, in the northeast of the Arctic country, isn’t a traditional national park. The only people who arrive here are those hunters from the nearby town of Ittoqqortoormiit. There live different animals such as polar bears, caribou, musk oxen or foxes.
●Chagos Marine Protected Area
The Chagos Archipelago is a group of seven atolls (环礁) which form 55 small islands in the Indian Ocean about 310 miles south of the Maldives. The 397,678-square-mile area was made to be a marine re serve in 2010 because it contains the world’s largest coral atoll, along with some of the planet’s cleanest water. It also supports different kinds of sharks—shortfin mako, blue, ocean whitetip and whale sharks.
