Most of the water on Earth is undrinkable, about 99%, only 1% of the water on Earth is drinkable, and only half of that is easily available!
Roughly 97.5% of Earth's water is stored in the oceans, while the remaining 2.5% is freshwater found in ice caps and glaciers, groundwater, surface water, and in the atmosphere.
Approximately 97% of the total amount of water on Earth is saltwater in oceans and seas, leaving only about 3% as freshwater available for use.
Approximately 0.1% of the freshwater on Earth's surface is found in living things. This water is primarily contained within organisms and makes up a small portion of the total freshwater available. The majority of freshwater exists in lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers.
Around 68.7% of the Earth's fresh water is stored in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow cover. This frozen water is mostly located in Antarctica and Greenland, in addition to smaller glaciers found worldwide.
The percentage of Earth's ground water is 0.5%.
Of total water available in earth, 2.59% of water is fresh and in that 2% of water is frozen as glaciers in the poles. Ground water constitutes around 0.592% and about 0.014% is present in lakes, ponds, etc.

75%
none of the water
less than 1%
Approximately 2.5% of the Earth's total water supply is freshwater, with the majority of this found in glaciers and ice caps. Only a small fraction of this freshwater is easily accessible for human use in the form of lakes, rivers, and groundwater.
