This is a page of the basic facts about water that everyone should know about. It is made by 5 students from Sir Ernest MacMillian Senior Public School for their science project, but it's also a useful page for people who don't like to read, so please do not delete this page.
What is Water
Water (H2O) is a kind of substance that is essential for the survival of all kinds of life on the Earth. 71% of the world’s surface is covered by water. 97.2% of the water is salt water, 2.2% is solid fresh water, only 0.6% is liquid fresh water, and 0.001% is gaseous fresh water. Water has three states, solid, liquid, and gas. Water has many uses, and is very important to us.
Water Distribution
There are about 1.460 Pt of water in our world. They covered about 71% of the world’s surface. About 97.2% of the water is salt water (also known as saline water), which is found in the ocean. Only 0.6% is liquid fresh water (water that doesn’t contain much salt). Many people think fresh water is drinkable, but they are wrong. Most liquid fresh water contains chemicals and organisms that can make you sick. This means, the drinkable fresh water in our worlds is actually even less than 0.6%! Although, there are ways to clean water, and make them drinkable. But even though, you shouldn’t waste any water.
Salt Water
Ocean water has mostly salt water in them. Scientists have estimate that there is about 50 quadrillion tons (50 million billion tons) of dissolved solids in the Oceans. Salt water can be in lakes, swamps, estuaries, and marshes. Seawater is 220 times saltier than the fresh lake water. The water from the seas comes from the rivers that hold dissolved salts and other minerals. Over the next millions of years more salt will be carried into the sea making the seawater saltier. Saltwater is more dense than fresh water.
Fresh Water
Fresh water is defined as water with less than 0.5 parts per thousand dissolved salt. It include lakes, rivers, ponds, etc and is a vital part of our water system. Only 2.2% of water on Earth is covered by fresh water in nature. Humans need fresh water to survive, but access to unpolluted freshwater has become a critical issue for the survival of many species and again for humans as well. The best source of fresh water is the precipitation of the atmosphere, rain and snow.

Fergus McCormick is a British-American indie singer-songwriter based in New York City. McCormick grew up in a family of poets and writers in an old house in the country on a gravel road near Flemington, New Jersey. The family was not particularly musical but it prized the arts, often spending years abroad in England, Spain and France. At the age of thirteen, McCormick began writing songs in the singer-songwriter tradition established in North America in the 1960s and early 1970s. Like those earlier musicians, McCormick's music is folk- and country-influenced, often told from a personal perspective.
In high school, McCormick played in house parties, bars and restaurants in Princeton. Later, at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, McCormick gave regular concerts where he would air his new material and record a series of cassettes. Excursions around America followed, from the mall in Boulder, Colorado, to coffee houses in Maine, to clubs in San Francisco. McCormick then expanded his travels abroad, where he would go on to play in the Paris metro, in pubs in the north of England, in the bars of Rio de Janeiro, in hotels in Eastern Africa.
On his travels, Fergus developed his own style of Americana drawn from various influences, from America, Canada, Britain and France, Brazil and Cuba -- from Mississippi John Hurt to Mark Knopfler to Paul Simon to Bob Dylan, Jorma Kaukonen, Neil Young, Nick Drake, Francis Cabrel, Silvio Rodriguez, Caetano Veloso, Alexi Murdoch, Aimee Mann, Patti Griffin.
In 2000, McCormick moved to New York City and began playing in a variety of venues around town, including the Knitting Factory, the Cutting Room and Sin-e. In 2003, McCormick released his first album, the eponymously named Fergus McCormick, and promoted it throughout the U.S. and Britain in a variety of small clubs, bars and coffee houses. The songs reflected his impressions on lost love, longing, and the pleasures of life, often set in foreign countries. In 2005, McCormick released his second album, Jumping the Gun, to critical acclaim. On this album, McCormick worked with producer Mike Davis to create a more organic, sophisticated sound, incorporating a wider array of instruments while maintaining the song and the singer central in the arrangements. McCormick's latest album, "I Don't Need You Now", was released in 2007.

The term "hoodride" describes an old car that is mechanically sound but visually falling apart. There is no universally accepted definition but it is usually used in reference to an air-cooled Volkswagen that is lowered and has plenty of rust and patina.
An entire culture has sprung up around this style of vehicle with its adherents usually opting to preserve the ugly qualities of their vehicle rather than replacing or hiding them.
The culture has also established a somewhat underground web presence which includes, but is not limited to, a flickr.com group photo pool, Myspace and Facebook groups, and a few dedicated websites, the most current being hoodrider.com.
