Amount of fresh water in the world …Of all the water on Earth, only a small amount is available for us to use. It's true!

96.5% of the Earth's water supply is salt water.Only 2.8% is fresh water!

• That 2.8% is divided like this: • 0.76% is groundwater (we can use

some of this water) • 0.0132% is in lakes and streams (we

can use some of this water) • 1.74% is in glaciers and icecaps

• 0.001% is water vapor
