Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Reservoirs. The largest water reservoir is the ocean, containing 97.3% of all water on Earth. This is of course salt water and is toxic unless specially treated to remove the salt. The next biggest reservoir are glaciers and polar ice containing just over 2% of the available water.
