Because we are still in an era of Glaciation meaning most of earth fresh water is in Ice form as Glaciers.
no. but most of earths fresh water is.
Salt Water
Most of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps, accounting for about 68.7%. The remaining fresh water is primarily found in groundwater (30.1%) and a small fraction in surface water such as lakes, rivers, and streams.
Under the Earth but occasionally it comes up in springs
You can at least use 1/4 of the water on Earth, but at most, 3/4 of it.
The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked up in polar ice caps and glaciers. Only a small fraction of fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, and underground sources.
Most of Earth's fresh water is not usable because it is trapped in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers. Additionally, pollution and contamination from human activities make much of the remaining fresh water unsuitable for consumption without extensive treatment.
Only about 1.7% of earths water is drinkable fresh water, so conserve it! Most of the fresh water is found in glaciers
Mostly in Antarctica. 3% of the world's water is FRESH water. But, therefore, ONLY 1% of it is actually drinkable. Fresh water is stored in the glaciers of Antarctica, Greenland etc, icebergs, shallow ground water, and lakes and rivers.
because most of the earths water is salt water and there us only 2.5% of fresh water on the earth =D
Most of the Earth's fresh water is locked up in glaciers and ice caps at the polar regions. This frozen water plays a crucial role in regulating global climate and sea levels.
Because it is mainly frozen in glaciers... we can only use 0.04% of the 3% of freshwater that is on Earth.
