About 97.5% of the water available on earth is found in seas and oceans as saline water and is not available to us for use directly. Only 2.5% of the total water resources of the world consist of fresh water. Majority of it is frozen in the ice caps at the two poles and on snow-covered mountains. Only limited amount of fresh water is available to us as a renewable resource through water cycle but its distribution is uneven. So, the correct answer is '2.5'.
