The world's water and freshwater ecosystems, with an annual estimated economic value of $58 trillion, are in a downward spiral - according to a new World Wildlife Fund report.
Michele Thieme - deputy director of freshwater programs with the fund - says freshwater systems are the planet's life support system, and they provide tremendous value for people in Colorado and across the globe.
"Everything from drinking water to water that is used to grow the food we eat and the fibers that make up the clothes we wear," said Thieme. "They are also critical for wildlife and fisheries and for their survival."
