Roughly 0.3% of the Earth's fresh water is found in surface water sources like rivers, lakes, and streams. The majority of fresh water is actually stored in ice caps and glaciers.

Fresh water covers approximately 0.7% of the Earth's surface, found in locations such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Most of Earth's water is found in oceans and seas, which are composed of saltwater.
75% of the Earths FRESH water is located in the Antarctic.
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.)
Most of the rivers, lakes, ponds, glaciers are all fresh water sources and seas and oceans are salt water sources.
Most of Earth's fresh surface water is found in glaciers and ice caps, with about 68.7% of it stored in these ice formations. Another significant portion is found in lakes, which contain about 20.9% of the planet's fresh surface water.
