Earth is known as a watery planet, the reason is that when it is being viewed from space the blue color is the most dominant one. 74% of the earth surfaces it known to be covered with water.
97% of that water is contained by the oceans, contains salt and is not fit for use and the remaining 3% is what we use to know as freshwater. The 77% of this freshwater is stored in the form of ice like ice glaciers etc and the 22% is stored as groundwater and soil moisture. The 1% left of the freshwater is present in the lakes, rivers and wetlands.
