why is there only limited water available for us on earth?

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query.

Your friend Mohit is right. Only 2.5% of all the water on Earth is fresh water and more than 97% is saltwater. This saltwater is not fit for human consumption and for the other members of the ecosystem. That is why, only limited amount of water supply is available for us.

because the oceans, seas, are totally salty and cannot be used for our daily uses or for drinking . so only some resources are available as fresh water like rivers , ponds , lakes, wells , ground water etc. as there is a large population in the world , the little water available for us is limited.

And also in the water cycle only the evaporated water is again precipitated on to the earth
no extra water is created so we have limited water on earth for our uses

because earth has 95% of in seas and in ocean which is very salty and we can't use it in our daily uses.The 5% water that is fresh in that 3% of water is frozen in the form of glaciers and 1% of water is underground and rest of the water is present in lakes,ponds,rivers,etc.and human have made the land hard which don't allow seapage of water and rising temperatures don't allow water to condense and and the rain happen.
