3% of Earth's water is drinkable. 99% of that 3% is locked in glaciers.
The rest of the water is salt water.
Any freshwater on Earth is usable
1% of water is usable in this case .Since only 3% of water is usable as fresh water, 2% is unavailable in frozen form leaving approximately 1% of the earth's water usable.
The amount of Earth's water that is usable as a freshwater resources can vary. There is a very large percentage of freshwater available, but much of it is unobtainable.
While water covers much of Earth's surface, only a small portion of that water is usable.
underground
Earth's usable water is primarily found in the form of surface water in lakes, rivers, and oceans, and in underground aquifers. This water is essential for activities such as drinking, agriculture, and industry. However, only a small percentage of Earth's total water supply is considered usable for human consumption and activities.
yes that is right
Most of Earth's fresh water is not usable because it is trapped in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers. Additionally, pollution and contamination from human activities make much of the remaining fresh water unsuitable for consumption without extensive treatment.
Approximately 0.3% of Earth's water is usable by humans, with the majority being found in groundwater, rivers, and freshwater lakes. The rest is stored in oceans, ice caps, and glaciers.
Roughly 2.5% of Earth's total water supply is usable fresh water, with the majority of it locked up in glaciers, ice caps, and groundwater.
usable water
Because water is recycled in the water cycle, the water supply is to some extent limitless. However, in many parts of the world "usable" water is limited. Most, if not all of the time this is due to the ground not holding water as well as in area's of the world that "usable" water is plentiful. In other words there is plenty of water on Earth for everyone, but getting enough to everyone in a usable form is a problem that man has not solved.
