That's not what it says. It says 20% of the world's fresh water lies
in the Great Lakes and most of it flows over Niagara Falls

Watch for a while and watch the chunks of sandstone aquifer and the
icebergs go over the falls.

After deducting for groundwater and glaciers, 2% is left for the
rivers and lakes. The world is lot bigger than than the Lakes
watershed. THere is a true 20% figure out there, the percentage of the
river water in North America.
