This beautifully illustrated children's book takes a close look at the lifecycle of water, including how it supports all life forms, how humans harness its power, and why we need to conserve it. Water is essential for life. In fact, about 60 percent of an adult human is made up of water! We drink it, bathe in it, and thousands of creatures live in it. Yet, our planet is running desperately low on water, with less than one percent of the water on Earth available to fuel and feed the current population of 7.5 billion people. So dive into the wonderful world of water and find out how you can save this life-giving substance. From raindrops falling from the sky, to rushing rivers and vast oceans full of animals and plants, water is everywhere. Discover how it affects Earth's weather, through rainstorms, snow flurries, and cyclones, and gives life to animals, plants, and humans. Learn how it is used in growing food and in making electricity, as well as how water travels into our homes at the turn of a tap. See the process water goes through when you drink it and how important keeping hydrated is for our health. With stunning photos and illustrations that showcase the beauty and power of water in nature, the cycle of water has never been so exciting. In the face of our planet's climate crisis, saving water is more crucial than ever. 500 $a Includes index. 505 0 $a Water on Earth -- Using water -- Life in water -- Water and humans. 650 0 $a Water $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Hydrologic cycle $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Aquatic resources $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Aquatic animals $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Marine animals $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Aquatic ecology $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Water and civilization $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Instructional and educational works. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Falconer, Sam, $e illustrator. 941 $a 12 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240516015451.0 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20240420010043.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409041803.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012022749.0 952 $l JEPA911 $d 20230215142748.0 952 $l EEPC605 $d 20221104010810.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20220928010729.0 952 $l BFPA251 $d 20220921140841.0 $m 12255 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220913011028.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20220104012328.0 952 $l BIPB251 $d 20211215013104.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210818010257.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=92E49D78FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
