How does the amount of freshwater on Earth compare to the amount of saltwater on Earth?
Approximately 97% of the Earth's water is saltwater found in oceans, with only about 3% being freshwater. Out of this 3% freshwater, the majority is locked in glaciers and ice caps, leaving a lesser amount available in lakes, rivers, and underground sources for human use.
What water contains the least water salt water ice caps and glaciers total fresh water or oceans?
