Over 90% of all the frshwater on the earth is frozen in the polar ice caps or glaciers.
This depends on what you mean with 'human use'. But it is estimated that 2.75 percent of all water on Earth is fresh water (which I believe is what you mean). Most of that however (2.05) is frozen in glaciers. A further 0.68 percent is ground water, with only 0.011 percent being surface water (in lakes and rivers).
Since the water that melts is classified as "fresh". the polar ice represents about 50% of the world supply of fresh water. Overall the polar ice is about 2% of all water.

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.

~71% of the earth is covered with water, of that ~97% is salt and ~3% is fresh (2% of fresh water is frozen, only about 1% is available)

It is very likely that Earth is the planet with the largest amount of frozen water.

The pie graph is showing all the water on earth. 97% represents the amount that is salt water. 2% represents frozen fresh water. 1% represents liquid fresh water.
Out of all the water on Earth, only 2.75 percent is fresh water, including 2.05 percent frozen in glaciers, 0.68 percent as groundwater and 0.011 percent of it as surface water in lakes and rivers.
