Answer 2

About 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water; the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere is all of the water in and on the earth. How much of that water is fresh? 97% of the water on Earth is salt water. This means that only 3% of the hydrosphere is fresh water. Why do you think "hydro" means water?

Of that 3%, 85% of the fresh water is frozen in glaciers and ice-caps. Thus, just 15% of 3% of Earth's total water is liquid-fresh water.

Answer 3

Around 2.5% of Earth's water is freshwater, with the majority stored in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers. Only a small fraction, about 0.5% is in easily accessible freshwater sources such as rivers, lakes, and streams.
