Approximately 78% of the Earth's surface is covered in water, but only 2.5% is fresh water and only 0.3% is accessible for human use. In most of the world, water is distributed through a network of pipes that are made up of concrete, steel, plastic, and copper. The Netherlands have the most advanced water distribution system in the world, with a network of over 150,000 kilometers of pipes!
