only about 3 % is fresh water and less than 1 percent of that is available the rest is frozen in glaciers etc
58% of water is available in a current state.
Roughly 0.3% of Earth's total water is fresh water, and about two-thirds of it is stored in glaciers and ice caps. This leaves less than 1% of the world’s fresh water as surface water available for human consumption.
The majority of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers, ice caps, and deep underground reservoirs, making it inaccessible for human use. Only a small percentage of fresh water is readily available in lakes, rivers, and surface groundwater sources for human consumption.
Of all the water on Earth, around 2.75% of it is fresh drinking water.
Only about 0.3% of Earth's water is fresh water available for drinking, irrigation, etc. The rest is stored in oceans, glaciers, and underground sources, making it unsuitable for direct human use without treatment.
The majority of Earth's water is in the form of oceans, which are too salty for human consumption or agricultural use. The small percentage of freshwater that is available is found in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers, making it inaccessible for immediate use. Additionally, pollution and contamination further limit the amount of clean freshwater available for human consumption.

The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked away in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers, making it inaccessible for drinking. Additionally, pollution and contamination have further reduced the amount of drinkable fresh water available for human consumption.
There is less fresh water available due to factors such as increased demand for consumption, pollution, climate change leading to altered precipitation patterns, and mismanagement of water resources. These factors have contributed to dwindling supplies of fresh water for human use and ecosystem health.
Freshwater available for use by the human population makes up less than 1% of the world's water supply. The majority of the Earth's water is in the form of saltwater in oceans, which is not suitable for human consumption or use without desalination.
