The Earth has three different kinds of water - salt water; fresh water in glaciers and polar ice caps; and surface (rivers, lakes and streams) and ground water (underground). Water is the second most plentiful substance on the face of the Earth with air taking the top spot. But, there's not a lot of fresh water, and it's sometimes hard to get to.

Drippy's challenge to you today is to answer this question…how much of Earth's water is a) salt water b) fresh water in glaciers and polar ice caps and c) fresh ground or surface water from lakes, rivers and streams. Look for the answers at the bottom of the page!

Here's a hint: your answers should add up to 100 percent.
