About 97% of Earth's water is found in the oceans. This vast amount primarily consists of saltwater, which makes it unsuitable for human consumption or irrigation. The remaining 3% of Earth's water is freshwater, with the majority locked in glaciers and ice caps, while only a small fraction is available in rivers, lakes, and groundwater.
