About 3% of all the water is fresh water, and about 69% of this 3% are in icecaps or glacier, 30% is ground water, 0.3% in surface water
This might be a trick question, but the answer is all of it. All the water on the earth is available for use by humans. Most of it is sea water, and with that salt in it, there are limits to what we can do with it. We can cool things with it, which we do on a limited scale with nuclear power plants that are parked on the shores of the ocean. We can also take the salt out of the water and drink it. Desalination plants are sprinkled on the shores of oceans here and there. We can sail on it for fun and for profit. Ships usually float on the stuff, and we can move large quantities of goods over the vast oceans in a fairly economical manner. Tidal forces generate electric power in limited applications. We also harvest the bounty of the sea and use the water indirectly in that way.
There are polar ice caps as well as local weather associated deposits. The stuff at the poles is usable, but not in an economical way. As for the stuff closer to us, we can use that snow and ice for recreation. We can ski, snowboard, snowmobile, sled and just have fun in the snow. Skating is possible on ice. The local snow and ice melt to refresh our streams and rivers and lakes as well as the ground water we can't see or often forget about. We sometimes harness flowing water to generate power. And we use the fresh water in our homes and businesses for all the reasons you can think of. All water on the planet is available for human use, but some (most) of it has limits on what can be done with it based on economics. (Hint: don't start a bottled water company advertising water from the north pole and then try to go up there to set up a bottling plant, lay in a pipeline down to here, or transport the stuff by boat to a seaside packing plant. It will be too expensive to do so.)

97%
How much water is available for human use?
Roughly 1% of the Earth's water is readily available for human use in the form of lakes, rivers, and groundwater. The rest is stored in ice caps, glaciers, and underground aquifers. Managing this limited freshwater resource sustainably is crucial for meeting the needs of a growing global population.
Who much the world water is available for human use?
98 percent is salt water, so we can not drink that. So then you have 2 percent. But 1 percent of that is in glaciers. So we have access to about 1 percent.
How much of the world's fresh water is available for human use?
for a human. the human supply water usage is 3%. ONLY 3 PERCENT IS DRINKABLE TO HUMANS
How much Of all the fresh water available how much of it is ready for use by humans?
Only about 1% of the world's fresh water supply is easily accessible and ready for human use. The rest is stored in glaciers, ice caps, or deep underground aquifers.
How much fresh water is available for us to drink?
About 2.5% of the world's water is fresh water, but only about 0.5% is easily accessible for human use. This includes water from sources such as lakes, rivers, and groundwater. Efficient management and conservation of this limited resource is crucial to ensure sustainable access to clean drinking water for all.
How much ml water is available for drinking?
The amount of water available for drinking varies by region and is influenced by factors like climate, population, and water management practices. Globally, approximately 2.5% of Earth's water is freshwater, but only a small fraction is accessible for human consumption. According to the World Health Organization, around 2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water. Thus, the availability of drinking water is a significant issue in many parts of the world.
How much of the freshwater is available for use by humans?
Roughly 0.3% of the world's total water supply is fresh, with most of it locked in glaciers and ice caps or located underground. Of this fresh water, only about 30% is readily accessible for human use in rivers, lakes, and groundwater.
