Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean, which when desalinated, can provide potable water. As well, the ice sheet covering 98% of the Antarctic continent contains 70% of the earth's supply of fresh water.
Food is imported into Antarctica, and some hydroponic growing operations provide fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions and spices.
Water is obtained from melting ice or from desalinated sea water.
Moisture in Antarctica comes from the atmosphere and is frozen by this polar climate. Because Antarctica is the driest continent, it's clear that this activity has occurred over millions of years, because the height of the ice sheet over the continent is nearly two miles thick.
The ice sheet contains about 70% of the earth's fresh water.
It originates from the precipitation that has fallen to the surface of that
continent over the past thousands of milennia, in the form of rain, snow,
sleet, hail, and freezing fog.
Potable water is available from melting ice, or from de-salinated sea water.
Either you melt ice or you desalinate sea water

Antarctica is a dry, arid polar environment.
It is a main source of water for household purposes but it is not for drinking Thanks Gaurang
their main source of water is rain fall.
The main source of water on Earth is the oceans, which cover approximately 71% of the planet's surface. These saltwater bodies contain about 97% of the Earth's water.
In the late 1700s, steam replaced water as the main power source.
The main source of heat is the Sun.
No. The main source of energy for the water cycle is the energy we get from the Sun.

The main source is formed by sea and oceans.
