because only 3% is drinking water
rest is sea water
three fourths of drinking water is trapped in ice sheets and glaciers
only 0.03 percent of this is available to us as ground water

Hi....
here is your answer:
✔Yes, 71% of area of earth is covered with water.
✔ But 97% of water is sea water which is salty which can't be use.
✔2% of water is glacier
✔So, only 1% of water is usable for drinking.
✔ There is scarcity of water because people use this 1% water indiscriminately.
