Approximately 2.5% of the Earth's water is freshwater, and of that, only about 1% is directly available for human use from lakes, rivers, and groundwater. This means that roughly 0.025% of the total water on Earth is easily accessible for drinking, irrigation, and other purposes. The majority of freshwater is locked in glaciers and ice caps, making it inaccessible for immediate use.

How many percentage fresh water available for human consumption?
Roughly 1% of the world's freshwater is readily available for human consumption in the form of rivers, lakes, and groundwater. The majority of Earth's freshwater is locked up in glaciers and ice caps, making it inaccessible for immediate use.
What percentage of the water on earth is available for human use?
This depends on what you mean with 'human use'. But it is estimated that 2.75 percent of all water on Earth is fresh water (which I believe is what you mean). Most of that however (2.05) is frozen in glaciers. A further 0.68 percent is ground water, with only 0.011 percent being surface water (in lakes and rivers).
How much of the earth is covered by freshwater?
Out of all the water on Earth, only 2.75 percent is fresh water, including 2.05 percent frozen in glaciers, 0.68 percent as groundwater and 0.011 percent of it as surface water in lakes and rivers.
70 percent of earths freshwater?
is stored in ice caps and glaciers, 30 percent is groundwater, and less than 1 percent is surface water like lakes and rivers. This freshwater is essential for supporting ecosystems, agriculture, and human survival.
What system includes oceans lakes rivers and groundwater?
The hydrosphere.
What is the best description of rivers lakes an streams?
fresh groundwater
What percent of total water on the planet is fresh liquid water?
Approximately 0.3% of the Earth's total water supply is fresh liquid water available for human consumption and use. This freshwater is found in rivers, lakes, and groundwater sources. The majority of Earth's water is saline and found in oceans and seas.
