The total volume of water on Earth is about 1.4 billion cubic kilometers, around 41 million of which is fresh water. 3 percent of the world's water is fresh, however only 0.768% is usable for consumption. The remaining portion of fresh water is locked up in glaciers, permanent snow fields, the Arctic, Antarctica, the atmosphere, living organisms (plants and animals) or is polluted. As well, there is 97% salt water located on Earth; and through human activities this is limiting the supply of safe drinking water! We need to sustain our water supply for further/future generations.

Cause Of Snow Marins And Glaciers
there is 45 million gallons of fresh water in glaciers
In the glaciers
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 water is stored in the glaciers. According to USGS, around 69% of the Earth's fresh water is located in glaciers and icecaps which are mostly located in Antarctica and Greenland. Another 30% of the fresh water is ground water. Only around .9% of Earth's fresh water is on the surface. For more information, check the link below.
Earth's available fresh water is located in various sources such as lakes, rivers, underground aquifers, and glaciers. The largest percentage of fresh water is found in glaciers and ice caps, while the most accessible sources for human use are rivers and underground aquifers.
Fresh water in frozen glaciers and ice caps accounts for about 69% of the total amount of fresh water on earth.
3%
Yes, glaciers contain the largest percentage of fresh water on Earth, with around 69% of the freshwater stored in glaciers. This frozen water is vital for maintaining freshwater availability in rivers and lakes.
No, most of earth's freshwater is located in glaciers.
Most of Earth's fresh water is found in glaciers and ice caps.
The majority of fresh water on Earth is located in glaciers and ice caps, which make up around 68.7% of the world's fresh water. This fresh water is stored in polar regions like Antarctica and Greenland. Additionally, a significant amount of fresh water is stored underground in aquifers.
