What is the reservoir for most fresh water on earth?

Most of the fresh water on Earth is stored in glaciers and ice caps, particularly in Antarctica and Greenland. Approximately 68.7% of the world's fresh water is locked away in these frozen reserves. The remaining fresh water is found in groundwater, surface water bodies like rivers and lakes, and in the atmosphere. This makes glaciers and ice caps the largest reservoir of fresh water, significantly influencing global water availability.

What country produces the most water?

It depends on how you are defining the word 'produces'. If you are talking about how much fresh water is pumped and used by humans, I don't know the answer. But, if you mean how much fresh water is available in a country, I would go with Brazil, because of the Amazon River. The Amazon by itself is said to have about 20% of the world's total river flow. I read somewhere that the Amazon Basin contains about 10% of the earth's total fresh water. Since the vast majority of the Amazon Basin lies within Brazil, Brazil must contain more fresh water than any other country. But, much of that fresh water flows out into the Atlantic Ocean and is not used by humans.
