Final answer:
Only about 1% of Earth's water is available to be consumed by humans or used for agriculture.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is true. Only about 1% of Earth's water is available to be consumed by humans or used for agriculture. According to Figure 1, only 2.5% of water on Earth is fresh water, and less than 1% of fresh water is easily accessible to living things. The majority of Earth's water is in the form of saltwater in the oceans, which is not suitable for consumption or agriculture.
