New Hampshire's House of Representatives endorsed marijuana legalization Wednesday, but that doesn't mean the state will be the third to legalize pot. Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, a Republican sponsoring the legalization bill, tells U.S. News the state will not adopt his proposal in 2014.
The ocean holds 97 percent of the Earth's water; the remaining three percent is freshwater found in glaciers and ice, below the ground, or in rivers and lakes. Of the world's total water supply of about 326 million cubic miles of water, over 96 percent is saline, found in the ocean.
There is not really much fresh ware on Earth. 1.74% of all Earth's water is in this frozen form as ice caps, glaciers and snow. Only 0.75% of Earth's water is liquid water and potentially accessible as fresh water in ground water, lakes, streams and swamps. Long Answer: About 97.5% of water on Earth is salt water and 2.5% fresh water. All of the oceans are salt water and the oceans represent more than 96% of all water on Earth. Of the 2.5% fresh water, only 0.3% is in liquid form on the surface. Most of the rest is frozen or underground. Less than .01 % of all water is in lakes and rivers.
