A Summary on Water Distribution:
Water distribution amongst salt and freshwater sources: Water distribution on Earth shows that most water in the atmosphere and crust comes from saltwater, and only a small amount comes from freshwater. Erosion of certain Earth metals causes salt to accumulate in the oceans through which evaporation returns as rain or snow. Earth's freshwater source, which is water with small amounts of salt, is only about 2 percent of the total water source on Earth's surface. The ratio of saltwater to freshwater is around 40 to 1. 97.5 percent of all water on Earth is saltwater, leaving only 2.5 percent as freshwater. The saltwater comes from the ocean and the freshwater comes from lakes, rivers, and other inland bodies of water.
