New Hampshire's House of Representatives endorsed marijuana legalization Wednesday, but that doesn't mean the state will be the third to legalize pot. Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, a Republican sponsoring the legalization bill, tells U.S. News the state will not adopt his proposal in 2014.
The ocean holds 97 percent of the Earth's water; the remaining three percent is freshwater found in glaciers and ice, below the ground, or in rivers and lakes. Of the world's total water supply of about 326 million cubic miles of water, over 96 percent is saline, found in the ocean.
Fresh drinking water makes up only 6% of the total water on Earth and 100% of the worldâs population relies on it. This includes the icecaps and glaciers and if these sources are subtracted from the total, only 0.3% of the water on Earth is useable for drinking, and the majority of that is groundwater.
