Distribution of saline and fresh water[edit] The total volume of water on Earth is estimated at 1.386 billion kmÂ³ (333 million cubic miles), with 97.5% being salt water and 2.5% being fresh water. Of the fresh water, only 0.3% is in liquid form on the surface.
How much of the Earth is water? All of Earth's water, including water from oceans, icecaps, glaciers, lakes, rivers, groundwater and water in the atmosphere, could be put into a sphere with a diameter of about 860 miles. This is about the same distance between Atlanta, Ga. and New York City.
