Answer:

The statement that says the lakes and rivers account for slightly more available freshwater than groundwater does is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Out of the total quantity of water present on the Earth, only around 2.5% is freshwater.
  • Considering the 2.5% of freshwater as 100%, around 29% of it is present in the form of groundwater.
  • Only 0.3% of the total freshwater available on the Earth is existent as accessible surface water which is present in rivers and lakes around the world.
