Earth Day - encapman - 04-22-2014 Share in caring. Responsible cleaning makes sense! April 22nd is Earth Day How much water is there on, in, and above the Earth? As you know, the Earth is a watery place. But just how much water exists on, in, and above our planet? About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water. But water also exists in the air as water vapor, in rivers and lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, in the ground as soil moisture and in aquifers, and even in you and your dog. Source: http://water.usgs.gov/edu/earthhowmuch.html All Earth's water, liquid fresh water, and water in lakes and rivers. Spheres in image show: (1) All water (sphere over western U.S., 860 miles in diameter) (2) Fresh liquid water in the ground, lakes, swamps, and rivers (sphere over Kentucky, 169.5 miles in diameter), and (3) Fresh-water lakes and rivers (sphere over Georgia, 34.9 miles in diameter). Encapsulation has a low impact on the environment. Uses less water: A single gallon can clean 300 square feet of carpet. No waste water is discharged: Vacuuming of dry soil recovers the encapsulated soil. No gas engine or carbon monoxide: Encapsulation equipment runs on a single 15 amp electric circuit. Bio-Encap is certified by the EPA as safe for the environment. |
