Most of the water on Earth (other than in mineral hydrates) is saltwater, about 97% of it. Oceans are salt water. The other 3% is fresh water, but 67% of that fresh water is in the ice caps.
That only leaves about 1% of the total water as usable fresh water. But that is still a vast amount of water, enough to fill aquifers, streams, rivers, and lakes.
