97% of water on the Earth is salt water, and only 3% is fresh water of which slightly over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.
Only about 3 percent of the Earth's water is freshwater because the vast majority, approximately 97 percent, is saltwater found in oceans. Freshwater is primarily stored in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers, with a small portion in rivers and lakes. The distribution of freshwater is also influenced by the hydrological cycle, which dictates how water is stored, evaporated, and precipitated. This limited availability underscores the importance of sustainable water management practices.
40+3=43 so i shaded in 40 on the 10 by 10 grid an added 3 and thats how i found my answer:)
3 percent out of 100 percent = 0.03 x 100 percent = 3 percent
In lakes, rivers and ponds...
3 percent of 40000 percent = 12
About two-thirds (2/3) of the world's fresh water is stored in the ice caps.

Earth is made up of about 70 percent water, but less than 3 percent of that water is fresh water. Fresh water is found in ice caps, glaciers, streams, and rivers.
Ice is technically freshwater so in glaciers, and some lakes or ponds are freshwater.
Not very much. Freshwater makes up only about 2% of the entire Earth.
11 percent is fresh water. The other 88 percent is polluted with semen.
Yes, approximately 97% of the Earth's water is salt water found in oceans and seas. The remaining 3% is freshwater found in rivers, lakes, and glaciers.
97.5% of Earth's water is found in the oceans. 2.5% is found in freshwater lakes.
Freshwater is found in lakes and rivers.

97% of Earth's water comes from the oceans, which contain saltwater. Only about 3% of Earth's water is freshwater, found in sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater.
it 's a lot more than we could consume. don't ya think
