Why do many environmental agencies promote conservation of water even though a large portion of earth's surface is covered with water? 1) there may be a shortage of clean drinking water in the future. 2) they fear that all water on earth will be used up one day. 3) they wish to increase navigation in conserved water. 4) conserved water can be used to generate electricity.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.

idk about that one.
