I believe that this site is creditable because it is an organization of the U.K, it is copyrighted and the company supports this site.

This site does not specify whether or not the fact is true but it does mention the water source depleting.

I do believe this source.

I believe this because it comes from a site that has science as a section. This site is like a news site.

Overall I do belive this fact because CNN is a trustworthy news site and it had confirmed the fact. Also there was other websites that also confirmed that this fact is true. Some sites did not exactly say "40%" but instead a large population around the Himalayan mountains get their drinking water from there.
