Claim: 1.7% of water can be found in underground.
Evidence: On Earth , 96.5 % of the planet 's crust water is found in seas and oceans , 1.7 % in groundwater , 1.7 % in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland , a small fraction in other large water bodies , and 0.001 % in the air as vapor , clouds -LRB- formed of ice and liquid water suspended in air -RRB- , and precipitation.
Groundwater -LRB- or ground water -RRB- is the water present beneath Earth 's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.
Groundwater is recharged from , and eventually flows to , the surface naturally ; natural discharge often occurs at springs and seeps , and can form oases or wetlands.
