75 percent of earth is water. 3 percent of that is fresh water.
This is a somewhat misleading question. Water is a renewable resource, so the 3% of our water that is fresh water will remain fresh water. If we consume the water, it is recycled and returned to the system. Salt Water also becomes fresh water through the natural rain and weather cycles of our planet. The only issue we would have is if we started to pollute and destroy existing water systems used for drinking and irrigating our fields. This would still be considered fresh water, but unusable water.
we should save water because there is only 3% of fresh water left and most of it is in glaciers
Freshwater Biomes, Estuary Biomes, and Marine Biomes
is salt water with a small portion easily available as fresh water
You can find usable fresh water anywhere water exists. Even the waters of the Dead Sea or the Great Salt Lake will yield fresh water if distilled, and the easiest way to do so is with a solar distiller. With a solar distiller, you can collect fresh water from a mud puddle.
not all water on earth is fresh its 60% fresh and 3% salty
3% of the earths water, is fresh water
only 3% is fresh water
3% of the world is made of fresh water
3% though 2% of that 3% is frozen -------------------------------------- 1% fresh 2%frozen 97% salt
about 3% is freshwater
1 % of the 3%. The fresh water is trapped in the ice caps and the air. The 1% of the 3% of the fresh water we use are rivers, streams lakes, and ground water.
Lake Michigan is fresh water.
Yes. About 3% of the water on Earth is "fresh water" (not salt water), but 2/3 of that is locked up in sea ice, glaciers, and ice caps. So about 1% is "available fresh water" and most of that exists in underground aquifers, which is not always renewed as fast as it is used. Only about 1/100 of 1 percent of the total fresh water is present in springs, rivers, lakes, and swamps.
3%
3% is fresh, but 1% is for drinking.
