Less than 1% of the water supply on Earth can be used as drinking water. Of all the water on Earth, 97% is saltwater, leaving only 3% as freshwater. Of that 3% of freshwater, 69% is in the form of ice cap or glacier in places like Antarctic and Greenland reducing the quanity available for drinking water. Therefore, less than 1% of the earth's water is drinkable.
