Explain the percentage distribution of total available water for human use?
Water is obtained from lakes, rivers, ponds, tanks. Water found in the oceans is not used for drinking as it is salty.
Three fourth of the earth is covered by water out of which 97.2% water is found in the oceans leaving a very little for drinking purpose.
Percentage and forms of water distribution earth surface is as follows:
* Ocean 97.2%
* Glaciers and ice caps 2.15
* Ground water 0.62
* Tanks 0.017
* Atmosphere 0.001
* Biomass 0.0001
* Rivers 0.0001
Of all the freshwater on Earth, only about 0.3 percent is contained in rivers and lakes.Rain water is the main source of drinking water. Lakes, ponds, rivers and ocean are the natural sources of water.
Water reaches our houses through taps after filling up the overhead tanks.
