1 Name Period: Global Distribution of Water Graph 1 Graph 2 1. Using the following data create a bar graph on graph 1. Make sure you label your x axis and y axis. Ocean/salt water 97% Fresh water 3% 2. Now create a second graph using the following data. This is how the 3% of fresh water (from the first graph) is divided up. Icecaps and glaciers 77% Groundwater 22% Surface water 1% (such as rivers/lakes/ponds) 3.How much of this water is available for you to drink?
