Because 97 % is salt water.
And of the 3 % mentioned a good bit is ice and we're busy poulting the rest.
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!!!!
Approximately 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water, but only about 0.02% of Earth's total mass is water. This is because water is less dense than the rocks that make up the Earth's interior.
Of the 70% of the world covered in water, only 2.5% of that 70% is freshwater. only about 1% of that fresh water is readily available for human consumption (the rest is frozen, buried, or vapor); that's .007% of all water on earth that is readily available for consumption.
Earth is the only known planet in our solar system to have water in all three forms - solid, liquid, and gas - due to its unique temperatures and atmospheric conditions.
33.33333...% well im sure that over 90% of the water on the earth is the sea water and we cant dring that aroung 3 to 4% of water is frozen and we cant drink a solid so about 0.0001% we can drink
If all the water on Earth is represented by a 1000-L tank, only about 2.5% of that is freshwater, and only a small fraction of that is accessible and safe for drinking (potable water). This amounts to roughly 25 L of freshwater, but only about 1% of that is readily available for human use, which is approximately 0.25 L or 250 mL. Therefore, in this analogy, potable water would represent about 250 mL of the 1000-L tank.
Because only three percent of the world's water is potable. And with man-made pollution that number is going down.
as per findings only 3 % of the total available water in earth is drinkable. 97% is either seawater or non potable
Only the earth.
Cememt lined CI is used for potable water systems
No, it is not safe to drink non-potable water as it may contain harmful contaminants that can make you sick. It is important to only drink water that is safe for consumption.
A potable water contains not only water but also several minerals[mg,fe,cu,etc.]in actual amount & many helpfull microorganism.A potable water recognished as safe to drink.
Please rephrase - question does not make sense
Earth. That's only on the surface of course.
Not very much, really. If all the water on or in Earth were gathered together, it would be enough to make a "drop" about 680 miles in diameter. That sounds like a lot, but the Earth itself is about eight thousand miles in diameter... so even by volume, water is less than 0.1% of the Earth, and by mass it's even less (since most of the Earth is either rock or metal, both of which are heavier than an equivalent volume of water).
By mass, the Earth is composed of mostly iron (35 percent), oxygen (30 percent), silicon (15 percent), and magnesium (13 percent). The Earth's Surface is predominantly water!The surface area of the earth is predominantly water (about 70%), and I sincerely hope this isn't a serious question...The average depth of the oceans is only about 3000 meters (0,05 % of the radius of the Earth) so most of the mass of the earth is not water.To shorten this down....the earth is mostly water.
Only 2.5 percent of the earth is coverd in freash water the of is coverd in salt water(70%)
