  Seen from space, our planet looks blue. This is because almost 70 percent of Earth's surface is covered with water. Earth is the only planet with liquid water --- and therefore the only planet that can support life. All water is connected. Every raindrop, lake, underground river and glacier is part of a single global well. Water has the power to change everything --- a single splash can sprout a seed, quench a thirst, provide a habitat, generate energy and sustain life. How we treat the water in the well will affect every species on the planet, now and for years to come. One Well shows how every one of us has the power to conserve and protect our global well. One Well is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.

  One Well is an in-depth look at the role of water on Earth, the water cycle, and threats to the global supply of water. All water on Earth is connected, so there really is just one source - one global well- from which we all draw our water. All living things depend on Earth's One Well. Life would be impossible without it. But the water in the Earth's well is threatened by our growing population and increased demands. What can we do to protect it? One Well answers this important question while telling the eye-opening story of water on Earth. Its call to action shows how every one of us has the power to conserve and protect our global well.
