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).

Why is less then 1 percent of earth's water available for human use?

The majority of Earth's water is in the form of oceans, which are too salty for human consumption or agricultural use. The small percentage of freshwater that is available is found in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers, making it inaccessible for immediate use. Additionally, pollution and contamination further limit the amount of clean freshwater available for human consumption.

Why isn't most of the water on the earth's surface available for people to use?

Most of the Earth's water is in the form of saltwater in the oceans, which is not suitable for human consumption or irrigation. Only a small percentage of water is freshwater, and of that, a portion is locked in glaciers and ice caps while another portion is underground in aquifers that are difficult to access. This leaves a limited amount of surface water readily available for human use.
