Probably every single bit of the surface water, to one extent or another. Answer: The answer is dependent on your conditions for "polluted" If potability (drinkability) is the criteria, then all of the Earths seas and oceans are polluted due to the salt content. If the presence of any levels of salt or organic material is a concern (i.e. is the water chemically pure water) all water is polluted. About 70% of our Earth's surface is covered by water. However:
COMMENT: But that's not the question, the question is 'what percentage of freshwater is polluted? Is it 25%, is it more? Less? Would you prefer to use a pie graphic...showing a third or more? We didn't ask for the answers we were given and we'd really appreciate it if you simply answer the question instead of answering every else EXCEPT the question. - Jane Streeter.
About 2% of the total water on Earth is polluted to the point that humans cannot drink it.97% is ocean water, and a lot of water is locked in the ice caps or aquaphors far underground, so this is a significant amount. Only about 1% is drinkable for humans.
4,500 humans die of water pollution everyday! Clean our water!
The humans started littering and it polluted the water.
An example of a false statement about water might be: All water is unhealthy for you. - That is false; humans need water to survive. However, a true statement (an opposing statement) would be: If water is polluted or contaminated, it may be very unhealthy to drink. But if no other source of water is present, humans would still need to drink the polluted water.
It very much depends on the area; some groundwater is polluted but other groundwater is pure.
well if the shrimp are cuaght in polluted water then they are polluted but if there are caught in fresh water then theyt are not polluted
The Caribbean has very clear blue water because it is clean. This water has not been overly polluted by humans yet.
polluted water is more dangerous for use and contaminated water is poisiones then polluted
Forty five percent of the water in Africa is polluted
0.00034 percent.
Polluted water can harm aquatic life, make drinking water unsafe, and spread diseases to humans. It can also degrade ecosystems and affect the overall health of the environment. Treatment processes such as filtration and chemical treatment can help remove pollutants from water before it is discharged back into the environment.
One will know if the water is polluted by putting a water reader in the body of liquid. This water reader will determine if the water is polluted or not.
