Freshwater is one of our Earth's most precious resources. It comprises 75% of Earth’s surface and essential part of our ecosystem. Because water is a limited resource, water conservation and sustainability in careers is an important aspect of our green economy. Careers related to water are found in science, engineering,  planning and outreach, agriculture and ground maintenance, and water operations.
