Answer: False

Explanation:

Freshwater in underground sources is estimated to more than a thousand times more than freshwater in our lakes and rivers. It is estimated that of all the freshwater on Earth, 30% is in underground sources and only a measly 1.2% is in our river and lakes.

This abundance of underground water is why it is so useful in processes such as fracking and irrigation farming using pumps. Indeed, underground water provides access to clean water for many in the developing world without access to a central water authority.
