Distribution of the Earth's water. Earth is known as the Blue Planet because 71 percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Water also exists below land surface and as water vapor in the air. Water is a finite source. The bottled water that is consumed today might possibly be the same water that once trickled down the back of a wooly mammoth.
Since 1940, the amount of fresh water used by humanity has roughly quadrupled as world population has doubled. Some water experts estimate the practical upper limit of usable renewable fresh water lies between 9,000 and 14,000 cubic kilometers yearly. That suggests a second quadrupling of world water use is unlikely.
