What percentage of Earth's water is usable?

Answer 1

1% of water is usable in this case .

Since only 3% of water is usable as fresh water, 2% is unavailable in frozen form leaving approximately 1% of the earth's water usable.

Answer 2

Much of the water is locked up in icefields, not easily useable. Much is salt, as in the seas, so not drinkable. Actually, only a very few percent is useable for drinking and other common human purposes.

According to the website below, only 0.3% of the total water available to man is actually usable in its current form.

Answer 3

Approximately 1% of Earth's water is considered usable for human activities such as drinking, agriculture, and industry. This includes surface water sources like rivers and lakes, as well as groundwater reserves. The rest of Earth's water is primarily saltwater in the oceans and frozen in ice caps and glaciers.

Answer 4

Only about 2.6% of the earth's water is fresh water, and a lot of this freshwater is in glaciers, ice caps, etc., so less than 1% is accessible to drink.

Answer 5

About 3%. The other 97% is salt-water. Unless you want to include desalination. That 3% is mostly found in springs.
