Three- fourths of the word is covered with water. yet many Countries and region around the globe suffer from water scarcity. explain.
Answers
Explanation:
because most of the water is from seas and oceans(87%) which is salty and cannot be used for domestic purposes like washing clothes,drinking, agricultural purposes,etc..,
Only pure water(2.5%in which only 0.3%is in liquid state.2.2%is in form of ice, ground water).can be used for our purposes.
The planet's fresh water is also very unevenly distributed. Although in warm periods such as the Mesozoic and Paleogene when there were no glaciers anywhere on the planet all fresh water was found in rivers and streams, today most fresh water exists in the form of ice, snow, groundwater and soil moisture, with only 0.3% in liquid form on the surface. Of the liquid surface fresh water, 87% is contained in lakes, 11% in swamps, and only 2% in rivers. Small quantities of water also exist in the atmosphere and in living beings. Of these sources, only river water is generally valuable.

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.
