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.
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.
