All living organisms on Earth need water to survive. Many, including humans, require fresh water, but only 3% of the water on the Earth's surface is fresh water. How is fresh water important to you? How does this affect the way you manage your use of fresh water? Write an essay that explains how you use and conserve fresh water based on how important it is to you. Support your explanation using evidence, such as facts and examples. As you write, remember your essay will be scored based on how well you:

Although you did not include the rubric of the essay to get an idea of how the teacher is going to evaluate your work, we can help you with the following ideas.

It is true that all living organisms on planet Earth need water to survive. Humans require freshwater as part of their nutrition. Without it, humans die

The problem is that only 3% of the water on Earth's surface is freshwater. Yes, the planet is 85% water. But from that number, only the above-mentioned 3% is freshwater. So here we have a real problem.

Freshwater is very important to me because without water there is no life on the planet. As simple as that.

Scientists affirm that most of that 3% of freshwater has the risk to be contaminated by industrial pollution. Consumerism is winning the battle. Industries are still producing products but at the same time, they are causing damage to the environment. And nobody is doing something to resolve the issue.

For that reason, my family has taught me to seriously manage our use of freshwater. No waste at all. We do not have to live what our brothers and sister of California are living with the shortages of water imposed by the state government.

That is why we only use what we need and not a single drop more.
