How much of the earth is ready for use by humans?

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.

Is there the same amount of water on earth now as there was when earth was formed?

It has the same amount of water as 1000 years ago. Unless this water has been taken off the earth in a spaceship, it will always be on earth, some of it in gaseous for, some in ice, and some in water. Most of the earth's water is non-potable (meaning you can't drink it its not clean). Water is always recycled, for instance, the water you drink today, could also have been drunk by a dinosoar, then peed out. The water would be recycled over time, with all the bad things coming out when it evaporates, then it rains back to the earth as pure clean water.
