What percent of water on the earth is shared by all living things?

Approximately 0.3% of all water on Earth is freshwater available for use by all living things, including humans, animals, and plants. The majority of Earth's water is saline and found in oceans and seas, not suitable for consumption by most living organisms.


What system does water belong to?

Water belongs to the hydrosphere, which is the combined system of all water on and around Earth, including oceans, rivers, lakes, and groundwater.


Where are living organisms located?

Living organisms are found in various habitats such as forests, oceans, deserts, grasslands, and freshwater environments. They can be found on land, in the air, and in the water. Some organisms are adapted to extreme environments such as hot springs, deep-sea vents, and polar regions.


The freshwater available for use by the human population makes up about what percentage of the world water supply?

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.


Where is freshwater located?

Only a tiny fraction of the planet's abundant water is available to us as freshwater. About 97.4% by volume is found in the oceans and is too salty for drinking, irrigation, or industry (except as a coolant). Most of the remaining 2.6% water is freshwater and locked up in ice layers or glaciers or it's too deep underground to be reached or too salty to be used. Thus, only about 0.014% of the earth's total volume of water is easily available to us as soil moisture, usable groundwater, water vapor, and lakes and streams.
