What erodes more water or glaciers?

While glaciers would move more earth, free flowing water is more of a constant, moving in places where glaciers do not form (i.e. Underground caverns and equatorial latitudes).

How the oceans which are salty in nature are the source of fresh water on earth?

Oceans are not the source of fresh water on Earth. Drinking water primarily comes from 4 sources. Lakes, rivers, groundwater, and glaciers. (Of course, all of it is purified before it reaches you.) ADDED: The oceans are fundamentally the source, because the water falling as rain and snow has been evaporated from the sea, and the evaporation leaves the salt behind.
