Detailed Solution

Approximately 96.5% of the total volume of world’s water is estimated to exist in oceans. Nearly 96.5 per cent of blue water is from the oceans, which can’t be consumed by humans because of its salinity. Only a few per cent of water is for the consumption of humans which is freshwater. However, 70% of total freshwater is stored in ice sheets or glaciers that are too inaccessible to humans. The remainder is found in groundwater, water vapours, and other sources. Those change over time due to the hydrological cycle on the earth.
