100% of the earths water is usable for humans. I see it now someone is jumping for joy to say salt water blah. Distillation is required for the majority of water to make it consumable. Amazing fact, you are better off drinking your own urine than drinking tap water.
The Earth is about 70-72% water. Humans are also about that much water.
1 percent of earth water
Less than 1 percent of Earth's water is ready for use by humans. Earth is approximately 71 percent water but of all this water only about 2.5 percent is fresh water with the rest being salt water and thus not fit for human consumption. Of the 2.5 percent fresh water the majority of this is frozen in the polar icecaps, present in soil moisture or deep underground where it is out of reach.

About 3% of water is fresh and usable, but 3/4 of that 3% are in the ice caps and glaciers.
3 percent is useable to humans and land animals

71% is water 29% is land
because most of it is salt water and other bits is full of bacteria and other junk
