About 97% of the Earth's water is saltwater in oceans and seas, with only 3% being freshwater. Of that freshwater, the majority is stored in glaciers and ice caps, with a smaller fraction found in lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers. Overall, the total volume of water on Earth is estimated to be about 1.386 billion cubic kilometers.
Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water.
Around 68.7% of Earth's freshwater is locked up in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow at the poles.
Less than 1% of Earth's water is liquid freshwater available for human use. The majority of the Earth's water is saltwater in oceans or frozen in ice caps and glaciers.
The Earth's atmosphere contains about 0.001 of water in the form of water vapor.

Water will be available on the Earth as long it survives against the Sun's heat. Prof. P.M.NATARAJAN
The amount of Earth's water that is usable as a freshwater resources can vary. There is a very large percentage of freshwater available, but much of it is unobtainable.
is salt water with a small portion easily available as fresh water
70% percent of the earth is covered in salt water, and 2.5% of freshwater but less then 1% of that fresh water is available for human use!!
as per findings only 3 % of the total available water in earth is drinkable. 97% is either seawater or non potable
Water covers 75% of the Earth's surface.
71% of the earth is filled with water.
Roughly 1% of the Earth's water is readily available for human use in the form of lakes, rivers, and groundwater. The rest is stored in ice caps, glaciers, and underground aquifers. Managing this limited freshwater resource sustainably is crucial for meeting the needs of a growing global population.
