Liquid water is scarce in the solar system because it exists within a very narrow range of temperatures. Fresh water on Earth is scarce in some areas because the climate does not supply all areas of the globe with equal precipitation. Water of any kind is scarce in continental regions with high average temperatures, because open sources are subject to evaporation. Surface water is especially vulnerable to a buildup of dissolved alkali minerals and salts.
