Short Answer:
Of all fresh water on Earth, 69% is frozen. And, even it it melts through global warming, most of it goes into the ocean. Basically, all the water we get is either from rain or what is pumped up from the rapidly diminishing aquifers.
There is not really much fresh ware on Earth. 1.74% of all Earth's water is in this frozen form as ice caps, glaciers and snow.
Only 0.75% of Earth's water is liquid water and potentially accessible as fresh water in ground water, lakes, streams and swamps.
Long Answer:
About 97.5% of water on Earth is salt water and 2.5% fresh water.
All of the oceans are salt water and the oceans represent more than 96% of all water on Earth.
Of the 2.5% fresh water, only 0.3% is in liquid form on the surface. Most of the rest is frozen or underground. Less than .01 % of all water is in lakes and rivers.
A breakdown of the various forms of water is as follows, going from the largest to the smallest.
96.5000% Oceans, Seas, bays
1.7400% Ice caps, glaciers, snow
0.9400% Saline Groundwater
0.7600% Fresh groundwater
0.0220% Ground ice and permafrost
0.0070% Fresh Lakes
0.0060% Saline Lakes
0.0010% Soil moisture
0.0010% Atmosphere
0.0008% Swamps
0.0002% Rivers
0.0001% Biological
Most of the earth's fresh water is found in the frozen ice caps at both the North Pole and the South Pole.
earth's fresh water can be found in rainfall
25% of earths fresh water is contained in the Great lakes
fresh water
the ocean
Earths limited supply of fresh water to be used over and over again.
no. but most of earths fresh water is.
Salt Water
In the glaciers
Because we are still in an era of Glaciation meaning most of earth fresh water is in Ice form as Glaciers.
three percent of all the earths water is fresh water
3% of the earths water, is fresh water
three percent of all the earths water is fresh water
Glaciers. Or frozen ice caps.

Under the Earth but occasionally it comes up in springs
3% is fresh, but 1% is for drinking.
