This weeks Water Fun Fact<\/strong> is about how much fresh water we have on the Earth if we use an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the entire world\u2019s water were fit into a 1 gallon jug<\/strong>, the water available in surface sources would equal a Drop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fun activity to demonstrate this is “A Drop in The Bucket” which can be found in the Project WET materials. \u00a0A copy of this activity can be found at\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also some videos that shows how this might look for an educational event. One is here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One video from Athens Clarke County showing the “Drop in the Bucket<\/a>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second one is on YouTube showing the “Drop in the Bucket<\/a>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
