Update: Five facts have been removed as they were pointed out to be inaccurate or redundant. Thanks to the following people who helped us improve this page:

@seametricsinc @MGhydro Wrong: 50% of FW is in Canada and 20% of 'available' FW is in Great Lakes. Also half water supply in 9 countries

- Michael E. Campana (@WaterWired) April 28, 2014

@cbdawson glaciers have 68.7% of global freshwater (listed twice) or 75% (listed once) ... (1/n) @WaterWired @seametricsinc

- Anas Matthæus (@MGhydro) April 28, 2014

@MGhydro @WaterWired @seametricsinc I think that happens a lot. I looked, and it's a quote from a USDA & NPS source, sadly wrong.
