oceans freshwater and lakes and streams cover 2/3 of earth

2.5 lakes. Or perhaps 3 lakes since half a lake is still a lake.
Hydroelectric power has been touted as the 'environmentally clean, renewable source of power.' This is subject to debate, as hydroelectric dams use turbines to generate electricity, and these turbines are spun by shafts which have blades on them. Fish which get caught in the high-pressure streams of water directed at the turbine blades usually do not survive the encounter with the blades. Also, the impoundments, or lakes, behind hydroelectric dams slow the speed of the river so much that many young fish do not survive the long swim to the ocean, where food is plentiful in comparison to rivers. Of course, dams present a complete barrior to upstream migration, unless fish ladders are in place, and even fish ladders are not 100 percent effective, as many fish are unable to locate the ladders. Salmon populations upstream of Grand Coulee Dam, which does not have fish ladders, disappeared, except for the freshwater varieties.
The circumference of both lakes north and south is 2.75 miles

76% (more than two thirds) of Earth's freshwater is found in any ice on Earth. (ex. glaciers) 23% of freshwater is found in groundwater 12% of the groundwater is "shallow ground water" 11% of the groundwater is "deep ground water" 0.34% of Earth's freshwater is found in rivers, streams, and lakes 0.037% of freshwater is found in water vapor
The three biomes that are freshwater are ponds and lakes, wetlands, and streams and rivers.
The freshwater biome includes rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds. Oceans are a part of the saltwater biome.
Not exactly. Platypuses live in burrows they dig in the banks of freshwater rivers, creeks and lakes. They do not live in the water.
