Answer:

Fresh water accounts for only about ____ percentage.

Explanation:

  • Plenty of water is available on the Earth but all water available on the Earth is not for drinking.
  • 3% of the Earth's water is fresh that is for drinking purpose.
  • But among 3%, 2.5 % of water is not available for drinking. That is that water is locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and also in soil.
  • That is only 0.5% water is available of drinking purpose.
  • All the water exists on Earth- from there 97% of water is in the sea that is not for drinking that means it is in saline nature human cannot drink it.
  • Glaciers have- 69%, groundwater is of 30% while all the lakes, rivers and swamps combined only account for small fraction.

Hence, the fresh water accounts for only 3%.
