Water Facts Most of the Earth's water (some 97%) is stored in the ocean as salt water. Nearly all of the fresh water is frozen in the polar ice sheets; less than 1 % of the Earth's water is fresh and accessible in rivers, lakes or underground. About half of the U.S. population obtains its drinking water from rivers and lakes and the other half taps underground water sources. In the U.S., the five Great Lakes represent about 95% of all fresh water above ground.
