Answer:

Only about 1%

Explanation:

According to the given condition, the earth is comprised of nearly 75% of water and only 25% of land.

Out of this total amount of water on earth, the water in the oceans and seas makes up 97% of it that are saline and not good for drinking purpose. The remaining 3% of water includes the fresh water such as the glaciers and ice caps on earth, groundwater and others.

Out of this total fresh water, only about 1% of water is available for drinking, which covers significantly very less amount of water on the entire earth.
