Question

　 The Antarctic Icecap is the largest supply of fresh water，representing nearly 2％of the

world’s total of fresh and salt water. As can be seen from the table below, the amount of water in our atmosphere is over 10 times as much as the water in all the rivers taken together. The fresh water actually available for human use in lakes and rivers and the accessible ground water amount to only about one-third of 1％of the world’s total water supply.

	Surface area(sq mi)	Volume(cu mi)	Percentage of total
Salt water
The oceans	139,500,000	317,000,000	97.2％
Inland seas and saline lakes	270,000	25,000	0.008
Fresh water
Freshwater lakes	330,000	30,000	0.009
All rivers(average level)	－	300	0.0001
Antarctic Icecap	6,000,000	6,300,000	1.9
Arctic Icecap and glaciers	900,000	680,000	0. 21
Water in the atmosphere	197,000,000	3,100	0. 001
Ground water within half a mile from surface a mile from surface	－	1,000,000	0. 31
Deep-lying ground water	－	1,000,000	0. 31
Total (rounded)	－	326,000,000	100.00
