Most of the water on Earth is undrinkable, about 99%, only 1% of the water on Earth is drinkable, and only half of that is easily available!
the percent of water in Adelaide us 71% and fresh water is only 7%.................. so, we have to save water and save life
Yes. About 3% of the water on Earth is "fresh water" (not salt water), but 2/3 of that is locked up in sea ice, glaciers, and ice caps. So about 1% is "available fresh water" and most of that exists in underground aquifers, which is not always renewed as fast as it is used. Only about 1/100 of 1 percent of the total fresh water is present in springs, rivers, lakes, and swamps.
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.

It's 3
for a human. the human supply water usage is 3%. ONLY 3 PERCENT IS DRINKABLE TO HUMANS

Only about 3% of the water on Earth is fresh water, and of that, only a fraction is easily accessible for us to drink. The majority of fresh water is locked up in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers.
0.5% _2% Only 0.37% of the water on the earth is drinkable. See the following article for more information on it. http://academic.evergreen.edu/g/grossmaz/MURPHYMW/
polar ice caps
Please rephrase - question does not make sense
for a human. the human supply water usage is 3%. ONLY 3 PERCENT IS DRINKABLE TO HUMANS
Only about 1.7% of earths water is drinkable fresh water, so conserve it! Most of the fresh water is found in glaciers
Only 2 percent of fresh water is frozen in glaciers.
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.
Our planet, the Earth is the only planet with drinkable water. It is the only planet in our Solar System with life and oxygen. Without the oxygen, there will be no life and water on Earth.
