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.
