3% is fresh, but 1% is for drinking.
The amount of Earth's water that is usable as a freshwater resources can vary. There is a very large percentage of freshwater available, but much of it is unobtainable.
Around 8 to 10 million cubic miles of Earth's water is considered fresh water, of which some 6 to 7 million cubic miles (more than two-thirds) is frozen in glaciers and the ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica.
The largest source of freshwater on earth is ice sheets, glaciers, and icebergs. The Great Lakes are the largest fresh water on the planet.
Because that's the only water we can consume. salt water would definitly kill you because the amount of salt in the water therefour, you can only drink fresh water. Why you would die from drinking alot of salt water is because salt is actually a poison to your body and since it is a poison to our bodies it pretty much just kills the inside.
Approximately 67.8% of earth's surface is covered by salt water while only 3% is covered by fresh water. In total, the earth's surface is covered by 70.8% of water.
3% of the earths water, is fresh water
Less than 1%Explanation: Just 2.5% of the planet's water is fresh. Less than 1% is readily available for human consumption because some of the fresh water is stored in the form of ice bergs.actually, it is 4.04% of the world's water is fresh water
Less than 1% of Earth's water is fresh water that is suitable for drinking and use. The majority of this fresh water is found in glaciers and ice caps, with the remaining amount found in lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers.
How much fresh water left in the world for our future generation and how we can save it.

You can at least use 1/4 of the water on Earth, but at most, 3/4 of it.
Only about 1.7% of earths water is drinkable fresh water, so conserve it! Most of the fresh water is found in glaciers
Approximately 68.7% of the fresh water on Earth is locked up in glaciers and ice caps. This frozen water plays a critical role in regulating global climate and sea levels.
because most of the earths water is salt water and there us only 2.5% of fresh water on the earth =D
The amount of Earth's water that is usable as a freshwater resources can vary. There is a very large percentage of freshwater available, but much of it is unobtainable.
Most of Earth's fresh water is not usable because it is trapped in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers. Additionally, pollution and contamination from human activities make much of the remaining fresh water unsuitable for consumption without extensive treatment.
