total water of the world remains_
Answers
hi mate,
Water covers 70 percent of the Earth's surface, but only a fraction is fresh.
There's a whole lot of water on Earth! Something like 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons (326 million trillion gallons) of the stuff (roughly 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters) can be found on our planet.
Water source Water volume, in cubic miles Percent of total water
Oceans, Seas, & Bays 321,000,000 96.54
Ice caps, Glaciers, & Permanent Snow 5,773,000 1.74
Groundwater 5,614,000 1.69
Fresh 2,526,000 0.76
So, if only 31% of the fresh water is available for drinking, this means 31% of 2.5%=0.00775, which equates to less than 1%. Therefore, less than 1% of the earth's water is drinkable.
i hope it helps you.
The total volume of water on Earth is estimated at 1.386 billion km³ (333 million cubic miles), with 97.5% being salt water and 2.5% being fresh water.
