The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked away in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers, making it inaccessible for drinking. Additionally, pollution and contamination have further reduced the amount of drinkable fresh water available for human consumption.
Only 2 percent of the earth's water is drinkable because the majority of the earth's water is saltwater found in oceans, making it unsuitable for consumption. The remaining 1% of freshwater is mainly locked in ice caps and glaciers.
Freshwater makes up about 2.5% of the world's total water supply. However, the majority of this freshwater is locked up in glaciers and ice caps, leaving only a small percentage available for human use.
Less than 1% of the world's water is fresh water, with only a small fraction of that being readily accessible for human use. The majority of fresh water is trapped in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers.

Approximately 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh water, of which only about 0.5% is readily accessible for use by living organisms. The majority of fresh water is stored in glaciers, ice caps, and deep underground aquifers.
for a human. the human supply water usage is 3%. ONLY 3 PERCENT IS DRINKABLE TO HUMANS

Though 75% of the earth is covered in water, only less than 1 % of the earth's water is drinkable to humans.only 1% of all the water on earth can living creatures drink. Only about 3% of earths water is fresh water at all!!!!only 1% of all the water on earth can living creatures drink. Only about 3% of earths water is fresh water at all!!!!

polar ice caps
0.5% _2% Only 0.37% of the water on the earth is drinkable. See the following article for more information on it. http://academic.evergreen.edu/g/grossmaz/MURPHYMW/
Please rephrase - question does not make sense
for a human. the human supply water usage is 3%. ONLY 3 PERCENT IS DRINKABLE TO HUMANS
Only about 1.7% of earths water is drinkable fresh water, so conserve it! Most of the fresh water is found in glaciers
Only 2 percent of fresh water is frozen in glaciers.
Our planet, the Earth is the only planet with drinkable water. It is the only planet in our Solar System with life and oxygen. Without the oxygen, there will be no life and water on Earth.
According to a nature article on cnn only 1%! http://archives.cnn.com/2000/NATURE/01/03/millennium.water/
