Almost the entire earth is covered with water, still there is water scarcity around us. why?
Answers
Answer:
More than 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. The Earth has a limited supply of water that we can use. There are supplies of freshwater in lakes, rivers, streams, swamps, reservoirs, and even underground water rich regions of soil and rock, called aquifers. Almost anywhere you stand, there is water somewhere beneath you. Sometimes that water is just several meters below you, sometimes it is deeper within the Earth.
Still, this supply of freshwater is less than 1% of all of the water on Earth. Why is so little water available for human use? Two reasons:
For most of our needs, humans cannot use saltwater, which makes up 97-98% of all water on Earth.
Humans cannot use most of the freshwater on Earth, because it is frozen in glaciers and icebergs, mainly in Greenland and Antarctica
Answer:
yes the Earth is filled with most of water but it's not fresh water and it's not perfect to drink
most of the Earth is filled salt water if we purify it be able to drink but the purification process may be more expensive
