Around 8 to 10 million cubic miles of Earth's water is considered fresh water, of which some 6 to 7 million cubic miles (more than two-thirds) is frozen in glaciers and the ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica.

How much fresh water left in the world for our future generation and how we can save it.
there is 45 million gallons of fresh water in glaciers
The world's total water supply is estimated to be around 1.4 billion cubic kilometers, but only about 2.5% of this is fresh water. Of the fresh water, only a small fraction is easily accessible and clean for human use.
About 70% of the world's fresh water
There are 25% of freshwater in the Great Lakes
About 68.7% of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps, making it frozen.
The Antarctic ice sheet contains about 70% of the earth's fresh water.
It is estimated that ice caps and glaciers contain about 68.7% of the world's fresh water supply. This frozen water is stored primarily in Greenland and Antarctica, with smaller amounts in other glaciers around the world. Melting of these ice caps contributes to global sea level rise.
I don't know how much salinity is in fresh water.
The polar ice caps contain around 68.7% of the world's fresh water, in the form of ice. The ice caps and glaciers hold approximately 69% of the world's fresh water supply, with the majority of this water located in Antarctica. Many glaciers are also found in the Arctic region.
