0.4%
- This leaves us with roughly 0.4% of the earth's water which is usable and drinkable to be shared among the 7 billion of its inhabitants (World Atlas, 2018).
- About 70 percent of the earth is water, but only 2.5 percent of that is freshwater.
- Only about three percent of Earth's water is freshwater. Of that, only about 1.2 percent can be used as drinking water; the rest is locked up in glaciers, ice caps, and permafrost, or buried deep in the ground.
- Over 97 percent of the earth's water is found in the oceans as salt water. Two percent of the earth's water is stored as fresh water in glaciers, ice caps, and snowy mountain ranges. That leaves only one percent of the earth's water available to us for our daily water supply needs.
