The false statement among the options is:
"Only 1.2% of all of Earth's water is found in rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams."
The correct statement is that 1.2% refers specifically to the proportion of Earth's freshwater that is found in rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams, not the total amount of all of Earth's water, which includes saltwater and other sources.
