96.5% of total volume of worlds water is estimated to exists as oceans and only 2.5% as freshwater. 70%of freshwater occurs as icesheets and glaciers in Antartica,Greenland,etc. while a little less than 30% is stored as groundwater in world's aquifers.So only a little amount of water is available for use.But still some areas face water scarcity inspite of having ample water resources,because - Due to the lack of technology and facilities , Due to pollution of water , Due to concentration of water resources in hands of one individual and Due to increasing urbanization.h
