I can tell that most of the water stores come from the ocean. However, you can't drink the salt water in the ocean so most over half of the worlds fresh water comes from ice and snow. Also, a lot of the world fresh water comes from ground water. I can infer that a lot of this drinking water comes from Canada because it comes from ice and snow.

From these graphs I can infer that most of the drinkable water or freshwater comes from ice and snow but for non drinkable water it only amounts to 2% of it.

Tell: I can tell that most of the world's water resources come from the ocean, and the least amount comes from lakes and rivers.

Infer: I think that because lakes and rivers tend to be smaller, most people don't collect water from there. They may think that they are dirtier, because maybe animals go and get water from there. I think that since the oceans are bigger, people may think they are cleaner because there is more to collect from, and that most of it isn't even discovered so there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Global Water Stores:

The ocean provides 97% of our global water storage, but the problem is that drinking sea water can be deadly and cause many diseases, so that fact that it’s not mostly extracted from our lakes that are mostly not infected salt waters is very surprising. I can tell that the water from the stores may be clean but still has bacteria from the salt water and all the other things we pollute into our waters, like the micro plastics that are so tiny but we may just be ingesting.

Freshwater Stores:

Most of the water resources come from snow and ice when it snows and becomes very cold, but what’s not reliable is that it only snows a couple months a year and because of global warming, our snow

, especially in the arctic are melting, so depending on an impending issue for most of our fresh water sources is very risky and we should start using our lakes more as they are more renewable at the moment then snow is because of global warming and the warming of our global temperature.

we can tell from the graphs that 30% of the world’s drinking water comes from the ground and the least amount comes for lakes or rivers.

I can tell that most of our water from the stores is from the ocean, not a lot of our water is from lakes or rivers. Our freshwater is mostly from ice and snow and the second most is from groundwater. Even though most of our water is from the Ocean you wouldn't actually drink ocean water because its too salty and I don't think a lot of our water is from lakes or rivers because the water there might be too dirty.

From the graphs I can tell and infer that most of the global water shores are in the ocean and the least is in lakes and rivers atmosphere. From global fresh water stores, i can infer that most of the fresh water is hard to get because it is in ice and snow

Most of the water comes from the ocean but it is not drinkable. Lakes and rivers can be cleaned as salt water is not drinkable. Most of our fresh water comes from ice and snow, there is too much salt in the ocean water for it to be drinkable.

What I can tell and infer from the graphs is that most of our water doesn't come from lakes or rivers because it actually comes from oceans however it is very salty so its somewhat undrinkable. Our water also comes from snow and ice.

i can tell that most of our water comes from 97% of the ocean and 2% from the ice and snow but the most drinkable water is ice and snow

Tell: I can tell that 97% of the water in the water stores come from the ocean, and only 0.007% of the lakes and rivers. Even though 97% of our water comes from the oceans, we cant drink it because it would be dirty and most oceans are made of saltwater.

Infer: I can infer that a lot of this water from ice and snow will come from Canada since it is a cold country and we get snow quite often in the winter time.

Infer:
