In glaciers.
There is more frozen fresh water than in all the lakes and streams. Glacial melting also causes the desalination of the ocean, which is a bad thing.
so we want the fresh water to stay in the glaciers
Most of the obtainable and usable fresh water is in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. However the vast majority of the worlds supply of fresh water is locked in the ice caps or the Arctic and Antarctic.
Lake Baikal in Russia. It holds 20% of all the freshwater on the planet. See the related link for more information.

70% of the Earth's freshwater can be found in ice caps and glaciers.
About 70% of Earth's fresh water is found in glaciers and icecaps
Well, the 5 Great Lakes compose an awful lot of the freshwater on Earth. The Great Lakes sit partly in Canada and partly in the USA.

Most of the water is found in the ocean.In the ocean (freshwater on Antarctica).
The majority of earth's freshwater (about 70% of it) is stored in glaciers and ice caps, mainly found in Antarctica and Greenland. The rest of earth's freshwater is found in lakes, streams, rivers, etc.
76% (more than two thirds) of Earth's freshwater is found in any ice on Earth. (ex. glaciers) 23% of freshwater is found in groundwater 12% of the groundwater is "shallow ground water" 11% of the groundwater is "deep ground water" 0.34% of Earth's freshwater is found in rivers, streams, and lakes 0.037% of freshwater is found in water vapor
About 70% of the Earth surface is covered with water, and most of that is the ocean. Only a small portion of the Earth's water is freshwater, which is found in lakes, rivers and groundwater. Freshwater is needed for drinking, farming, and washing.

Rainfall is where it is from. Ice caps and glaciers is where most of it is found, followed by groundwater.
No, most of earth's freshwater is located in glaciers.
