How much of the earths water is ready for use by humans?

Less than 1 percent of Earth's water is ready for use by humans. Earth is approximately 71 percent water but of all this water only about 2.5 percent is fresh water with the rest being salt water and thus not fit for human consumption. Of the 2.5 percent fresh water the majority of this is frozen in the polar icecaps, present in soil moisture or deep underground where it is out of reach.
