Respuesta :

Freshwater has a low amount of dissolved salt and is used for drinking and other purposes. The amount of freshwater locked in the glaciers is 68% and that of the total on earth is 2%.

What is the amount of the freshwater present?

Freshwater is the less salty and feasible water that is used for drinking, bathing, washing etc. It is present in very less amount on the planet as most of the parts are covered with salty water.

The total of the freshwater locked in the glaciers and ice caps are 68% which is not accessible and the total of freshwater that accounts for the earth which can be used is only 2% and is found in the form of the rivers, lakes and underground sources.

Therefore, the total freshwater available on the planet is 2%.
