Most of it's in the sea, and is therefore salty, which isn't good for very much. We can desalinate it (take the salt out), and some otherwise dry countries like Saudi Arabia do this, but it's expensive and uses a lot of energy. Then most of the rest is frozen in the polar icecaps.

What percentage of the water on earth is available for human use?
This depends on what you mean with 'human use'. But it is estimated that 2.75 percent of all water on Earth is fresh water (which I believe is what you mean). Most of that however (2.05) is frozen in glaciers. A further 0.68 percent is ground water, with only 0.011 percent being surface water (in lakes and rivers).
