The biggest split in the location of the Earth's water is between fresh water and salt water (about 97%). The 70% of 3% of freshwater is mostly in ice and glaciers, of the remaining 30% of the 3% is in ground water and only 0.3% of the 3% is in lakes and streams.
There are some differences in the amount of water in the Antarctic
- NOAA says 97% of the earth's water is in the oceans with the rest being elsewhere (rivers, lakes, underground, glaciers and ice).
- USGS says that 68.7% of the fresh water (which is 2.5% of the earth's total water) is in glaciers and ice caps.
- Science Daily says that 90% of the earth's fresh water is in the Antarctic ice sheet, which differs from what USGS says.
- USGS says that 90% of the earth's ice mass is in Antarctica. Percent total ice mass is very different from % fresh water or % total water.
