Only about 3% of Earth's water is fresh. Two percent of the Earth's water (about 66% of all fresh water) is in solid form, found in ice caps and glaciers. Because it is frozen and so far away, the fresh water in ice caps is not available for use by people or plants. That leaves about 1% of all the Earth's water in a form usable to humans and land animals. This fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, and in the ground. (A small amount of water is found as vapor in the atmosphere.)
Because we are still in an era of Glaciation meaning most of earth fresh water is in Ice form as Glaciers.
no. but most of earths fresh water is.
Salt Water
Mostly in Antarctica. 3% of the world's water is FRESH water. But, therefore, ONLY 1% of it is actually drinkable. Fresh water is stored in the glaciers of Antarctica, Greenland etc, icebergs, shallow ground water, and lakes and rivers.
Most of earth's fresh water is in the form of ice.Remember that more than 70% of the planet is covered with water -- sea water, making up about 96.5% of earth's water.

Most of Earth's fresh water falls to the ground as rain.
Most of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps, accounting for about 68.7%. The remaining fresh water is primarily found in groundwater (30.1%) and a small fraction in surface water such as lakes, rivers, and streams.
Under the Earth but occasionally it comes up in springs

You can at least use 1/4 of the water on Earth, but at most, 3/4 of it.
The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked up in polar ice caps and glaciers. Only a small fraction of fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, and underground sources.
