- 97% of Earth's water is in the oceans, while only 3% is freshwater. About 2.4% of water is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. Groundwater makes up about half of one percent, while rivers and lakes contain only about 1/100 of one percent. - Water is essential for life - a person can survive about a month without food but only a week without water.
