3/4 of the earth's surface is covered with water.
We can't use this water because it is saline. This water has salt in large quantity which is unfit for human consumption. That is why, scarcity of water occurs because fresh water is limited.

Answer:
3/4 of the earth's surface is covered with water there is still a scarcity of water across the globe. this is because:
Around 97% of total water is in oceans which is salty and not fit for human consumption.
Out of the remaining 3% freshwater, only 1% is available to us in form of rivers, lakes, and streams.
Overexploitation of water resources and discharge of sewage and wastes into the water has further led to the scarcity of water resources.
