Less than a percent (1.2%) of the earth's total water is Surface and aquifer freshwater sources hold.

Earth is 70% covered in water. Of this water, 97% is saline water which is found in the ocean and the rest is fresh water. Less than 1% of the earth's surface fresh water is in ground and surface water. And about 2% is available in the form of glaciers. Only 1% of aquifer water is usable in the form of rivers, lakes, or ponds. The atmosphere also holds some quantity of water in the form of tiny droplets.

In the US 49% of fresh water is used in electricity production by thermal electric power production,31% in agriculture irrigation,11% for public use, and the rest for industries as compared to developing countries where 70% is used in agriculture or industries.

Answer:

The tides would occur at a much lower intensity.

Explanation:

Tides are caused by two main factors, the moon, and the wind. The moon plays a bigger part. SO, if the moon were to suddenly begone, scientists estimate that there would still be tides, but just much smaller, maybe about 1/3 of their original size.
