Swamps have most of the balance with only a small amount in rivers, most notably the Amazon_River.The atmosphere contains 0.04% water. In areas with no fresh water on the ground surface, fresh water derived from precipitation may, because of its lower density, overlie saline ground water in lenses or layers.Most of the world's fresh water is frozen in Ice_sheets.

What are the difference between fresh water and marine?
Fresh water and marine or seawater are differentiated primarily by the amount of salt they contain (fresh water has almost no salt, sea water has about 3.5% salt by weight) and where you find them. To identify marine or sea water there is only one criteria, it is found in the oceans or salt seas. This differentiation is essential as the Black Sea is a freshwater sea. The fact that it is salty is shared with salt lakes and salty ground water. Likewise fresh water has little or no salt and is found in some but not all lakes and rivers and in underground water. Precipitation is generally fresh water as is meltwater from glaciers and the ice caps.Potability (can you drink it) is never a characteristic of sea water due to the salt, but fresh water is not always potable. It may contain metals, bacteria, odours, chemicals and similar materials.
Will ships float or sink in fresh water?
Ships float in fresh water too. Only a little deeper, since fresh water is less dense than salt water.
