August is #NationalWaterQualityMonth! Here are four fascinating facts about water quality that underscore its importance: 💧 Did you know that less than 1% of water on earth is available to meet daily water supply needs? Ensuring this precious resource remains uncontaminated is vital for our survival. 💧 Water pollution isn't always visible. Harmful contaminants like microplastics and chemical pollutants can infiltrate water sources. 💧 Wetlands are natural water filters. They absorb pollutants, improve water quality, and provide habitats for countless species. 💧 According to the United Nations #SDG6, billions of people still lack access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene, despite great progress. Let's focus on sustainable, nature-positive solutions to safeguard our water quality.
