Forty five percent of the water in Africa is polluted
0.00034 percent.
Mostly 75 percent
Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface
Only 1 percent of earths water is suitable to drink with 97 percent saltwater and 2 percent in icecaps.
Probably every single bit of the surface water, to one extent or another. Answer: The answer is dependent on your conditions for "polluted" If potability (drinkability) is the criteria, then all of the Earths seas and oceans are polluted due to the salt content. If the presence of any levels of salt or organic material is a concern (i.e. is the water chemically pure water) all water is polluted. About 70% of our Earth's surface is covered by water. However:97.5% of all water is salt water, only 2.5% is fresh waterAbout 70% of fresh water is frozen in Antarctica and Greenland;Of the remainder most is underground or soil moisture,This leaves about less than 1% of the world's fresh water (~0.007% of all water on earth) for direct human uses. COMMENT: But that's not the question, the question is 'what percentage of freshwater is polluted? Is it 25%, is it more? Less? Would you prefer to use a pie graphic...showing a third or more? We didn't ask for the answers we were given and we'd really appreciate it if you simply answer the question instead of answering every else EXCEPT the question. - Jane Streeter.
It very much depends on the area; some groundwater is polluted but other groundwater is pure.
Ninety six percent of all Earth's water is in the oceans. The rest of Earths' water comes from lakes, rivers, and from vapor in the air.
Approximately 67.8% of earth's surface is covered by salt water while only 3% is covered by fresh water. In total, the earth's surface is covered by 70.8% of water.
70% or 80% of water covers the earths surface
about 30%
A bit less than 2% of the worlds water is frozen. Antarctica accounts for about 80% of the worlds fresh water.
