saline water in oceans, seas and saline groundwater make up about 97% of all the water on earth. only 2.5–2.75% is fresh water, including 1.75–2% frozen in glaciers, ice and snow, 0.5–0.75% as fresh groundwater and soil moisture, and less than 0.01% of it as surface water in lakes, swamps and rivers. freshwater lakes contain about 87% of this fresh surface water, including 29% in the african great lakes, 22% in lake baikal in russia, 21% in the north american great lakes, and 14% in other lakes. swamps have most of the balance with only a small amount in rivers, most notably the amazon river. the atmosphere contains 0.04% water. in areas with no fresh water on the ground surface, fresh water derived from precipitation may, because of its lower density, overlie saline ground water in lenses or layers. most of the world's fresh water is frozen in ice sheets. many areas suffer from lack of distribution of fresh water, such as deserts.
