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).
