Water is essential for life but is scarce. The majority of Earth's freshwater is inaccessible, trapped in glaciers or deep underground. Lakes and rivers, which are humans' main freshwater source, constitute only 0.01% of the total water.

- Oceans hold 1.3 billion cubic kilometers (kmยณ) of water.
- Ice caps and glaciers contain 24.1 million kmยณ.
- Groundwater amounts to 23.4 million kmยณ.
- Lakes and rivers hold 178.5 thousand kmยณ.

The graphic shows a projection of people living under water stress in the year 2000 versus a 2050 baseline scenario (assuming no new policies are introduced). The categories of water stress are severe, medium, low, and no water stress.
