~97% of all water on Earth is salt water.

~70% of all fresh water is locked up in icecaps and glaciers. Another ~30% is below ground, although this is for the most part drinkable, it might not be accessible.

This leaves 0.3% of the world's fresh water, or 0.09% of all water on Earth.

Scary isn't it?
