No, salt water accounts for about 97% of Earth's water, while fresh water only makes up about 3%. This fresh water is primarily found in ice caps, glaciers, lakes, and underground aquifers.
~71% of the earth is covered with water, of that ~97% is salt and ~3% is fresh (2% of fresh water is frozen, only about 1% is available)
well there is 30% in the salt water but is that the natural water is more fresh
