Only 1% of the world's water is fresh and unfrozen—and most of that is found in underground aquifers. Only 0.3% of the world's water is fresh surface water, including huge concentrations like the Great Lakes, the Amazon and Lake Baikal.
That's one reason scientists, environmentalists, ecologists and military planners all worry that water shortages could become a source of conflict in coming decades.
Birds are worried about it, too.
