Quran Tells That Fresh Water Is A Blessing
Percentage Of Fresh Water On Earth

Saline water in oceans, seas and salty groundwater make up about 97 percent of all the water on Earth. Only 2.5–2.75 percent is freshwater, including 1.75 to two percent frozen in glaciers, ice and snow, 0.5 to 0.75 percent as fresh groundwater and soil moisture, and less than 0.01 percent of it as surface water in lakes, swamps and rivers. The atmosphere contains 0.04 percent of water. Most of the world’s Freshwater is frozen in ice sheets.
From the information above we can draw the following facts:
- Almost all water (97%) on earth is salty.
- Fresh sweet water is a rare commodity and if not a system to replenish … it would have finished long ago.
- Mountains are also a source of Freshwater.
