The water cycle normally starts from rainfall on mountains.

The precipitated water flows in two ways, through the surface or underground. Most of it travels as groundwater, as you can see. The final destination is the ocean, the biggest water storage of our planet.

As you can see, almost 98% of the water on Earth is saltwater in the oceans. Furthermore, most of the freshwater is ice caps and. glaciers.

As most of them are stored, only a small amount of water is flowing.

Question:

1 : How many percentage of water is present as a form of ice caps and glaciers?

2 : How many percentage of water is present in the form of lakes on this Earth?

3 : How many percentage of water can be used as our drinkable resource?
