It is frozen into polar ice caps and glaciers.

What total amount of earths water supply is usable fresh water?
The total amount of Earths total water supply that is usable fresh water is less then two percent. The rest is salt water or pond water.
What is more than half of earths fresh water supply difficult to use?
More than half of Earth's fresh water supply is stored in glaciers and ice caps, making it difficult to access and use for human consumption or agriculture due to their remote locations and the high cost of extraction and transportation.
If Earths climate became colder how might fresh water supply be affected?
there would be less evaporation and so less rainfall and as a result less fresh water
Is it true people are major polluters of earths fresh water supply?
Yes, human activities such as industrial waste, agriculture runoff, and improper disposal of pollutants can significantly contribute to the pollution of Earth's fresh water supply. This pollution can impact ecosystems, human health, and water quality. Implementing sustainable practices and regulations can help mitigate this problem.
What percentage of earths water is fresh water available for use by living organisms?
three percent of all the earths water is fresh water
How much fresh water is there on Earth.?
3% of the earths water, is fresh water
Does the water cycle use up earths water supply?
Yes water cycle use up earths supply. Water is evaporated from earth's surface.
What percentage of earths freshwater supply does the great lakes account for?
25% of earths fresh water is contained in the Great lakes
Why do many people think of earths supply of fresh water as a resource that must be pretected?
Fresh water is essential for human survival, agriculture, industry, and ecosystems. However, with increasing pollution, overuse, and climate change, the availability of fresh water is becoming more limited and threatened. Protecting the Earth's supply of fresh water is crucial to ensure its sustainability for current and future generations.
Why is over half of Earth's water fresh supply difficult to use?
Over half of Earth's fresh water supply is difficult to use because it is stored in ice caps and glaciers, or is located underground in aquifers that are difficult to access. Additionally, pollution and contamination of fresh water sources further restricts their usability for human consumption and agriculture.
Why water is considered to be a resource that is in short supply when there is so much of it on earth?
because most of the earths water is salt water and there us only 2.5% of fresh water on the earth =D
What holds 95 percent of the earths fresh water supply?
Around 95% of the Earth's fresh water supply is held in underground aquifers. These aquifers are large underground pockets of water stored in rocks and soils that can be accessed through wells and other extraction methods.
