Fresh water takes up only 3,5% out of all water on Earth, and only slightly more than 1% of the fresh water make up inland waters such as lakes, rivers, streams, ponds and similar. That small percentage is responsible for keeping many ecosystems alive and for sustaining many daily human needs, agriculture and industries.
Main goal of the section is to spread awareness and interest for inland waters and to protect them. With many letures and field work it’ll try just that. Collaborations with other sections is also very important, as a lot of species depend on inland waters to live.
Overall the section work will be very varied, and along with ecology and water protection there will also be some geological and hidrological aspects of the waters.
Everyone is invited to join the section, so if you’re interested in inland waters or anything that was just said and you wish to know more, join the inland waters section!
