We can't use all of the Earth's fresh water, because much is locked away as ice, notably at the Arctic and Antarctic regions, and in the many glaciers in certain mountain ranges.

What is the form of earths most fresh water?

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.)
