Detailed Solution

All known forms of life depend on water, which covers around 71% of the earth's surface.
96.5 percent of plant water on Earth is found in seas and oceans, 17% in groundwater, 1.7% in glaciers and ice caps, and 0.001% as water vapor, clouds, and precipitation in the atmosphere.
Freshwater makes up only 2.5% of the planet's total water supply, and the remaining 98.8% is found in ice and groundwater.
The remainder appears as soil water and surface water (in rivers, dams, cakes, and ponds).
