Where is most of Earth's fresh water?
Most of Earth's water is stored in the glaciers. According to USGS, around 69% of the Earth's fresh water is located in glaciers and icecaps which are mostly located in Antarctica and Greenland. Another 30% of the fresh water is ground water. Only around .9% of Earth's fresh water is on the surface. For more information, check the link below.

What is the ecosystem?
Seriously?No offense, but it's quite difficult to believe you comprehend the definition of the word "ecosystem" without knowing where water fits into the picture... anyway-Water is essential to all life. Even plants in the driest most arid desert, cacti for instance, hoard water every bit as greedily as way modern humans hoard money.So in short- the role of water is to keep an ecosystem afloat. In multiple senses of the word. We are composed of mostly water. We drink water. We breathe water vapor. Water is ubiquitous, and without it not a single ecosystem would have the ability to sustain itself.Not even space, which hardly qualifies as an ecosystem in the typical sense, contains inordinate amounts of water (obviously in the form of ice);there aren't even any living organisms in that environment and it retains some form of H2O. this should provide some perspective on water's role(s) in ecosystems.Though if you ask me, the question should've been what roles doesn't water play in an ecosystem?That answer would have been under twenty words :)

What ecosystem would most be affected by the fact salt water is denser than fresh water?
Anywhere there is an established ecosystem and you suddenly substitute salt water for fresh water or vice versa, you would have significant disruption of the ecosystem. However, the first places you would see organisms being displaced or being driven out of an area would be the estuaries, where fresh water meets salt water in swamps, river deltas and other boundary-type waters.
How is fresh water both a renewable and a limited resource?
Its renewable because the ecosystem collects and purifies the fresh water. Its limited because the earth is only made up of 3% of fresh water and most of the other half is locked up in ice at the Poles.
