This paper will discuss freshwater aquatic ecosystem. It will identify impacts associated with agriculture, the effects that a growing human population may have on that ecosystem’s resources, including loss or harm to populations of wild species, sustainability and conservation of natural resources in freshwater aquatic ecosystem, risks and benefits of extracting or using one type of nonrenewable and one type of renewable energy resource, assess management practices for sustainability and conservation of natural resources and energy. The Fresh water ecosystems are among the earth aquatic ecosystems, which includes Lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, springs and wetlands. About 97.4% by volume is found in the oceans and its too salty for drinking, irrigation or industry. Only 2.6% water is freshwater and its locked up in ice layers or glaciers or its too deep underground to be reached or too salty. Out of 2.6% only tiny fraction of the planet’s overflowing water is available to us as a freshwater. Plants and animals cannot live without freshwater, because all organisms are made up mostly by water. Trees and Animals have about 50 to 60% water weight and of course us humans needs large amount of water.
The fresh water aquatic ecosystems has an impact on agriculture. As well as the agriculture's developing an impact on the fresh waters. Agriculture is the growth of crops and livestock for food. Fresh water is to hydrated the crops and animals for food intake. Agriculture accounts for at least 70 percent of fresh water use. Agriculture high demand for water is threaten fresh water ecosystems. The demand for the water from humans as well as crops. Crops like rice, cotton and sugar are relatively need plenty of water to grow. It is stated in the wild life article, the World Wildlife Fund taken from the national Geographic, estimates that only 20 to 50 percent of water extracted for farming really reaches the crops.
