Climate change and poor water management also contribute to the scarcity of readily available freshwater.

How much water is available for human use?
Roughly 1% of the Earth's water is readily available for human use in the form of lakes, rivers, and groundwater. The rest is stored in ice caps, glaciers, and underground aquifers. Managing this limited freshwater resource sustainably is crucial for meeting the needs of a growing global population.
