Most people can't use fresh water from glaciers because accessing it can be challenging due to remote locations and the need for specialized equipment to safely extract and transport the water. Additionally, glacial meltwater is often not readily available year-round and can be subject to seasonal variations. Furthermore, environmental regulations and concerns about the impact on ecosystems also restrict direct usage of glacial water. Lastly, while glaciers store a significant amount of freshwater, it is not easily accessible for human consumption or agricultural use without proper infrastructure.
