Only about 1.7% of the world's total water is trapped in glaciers and ice caps, but about 68.7% of fresh water on Earth is frozen in them.

no. but most of earths fresh water is.
Since the water that melts is classified as "fresh". the polar ice represents about 50% of the world supply of fresh water. Overall the polar ice is about 2% of all water.
is stored in ice caps and glaciers, 30 percent is groundwater, and less than 1 percent is surface water like lakes and rivers. This freshwater is essential for supporting ecosystems, agriculture, and human survival.
Frozen in the icecaps (in the form of ice at the poles).
Around 68.7% of Earth's freshwater is locked up in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow at the poles.
All fresh water is stored in the ice shelves of the north and south poles.
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.
Approximately 68.7% of the world's freshwater is contained in glaciers and ice caps, with the majority of this frozen water located at the poles. This frozen water plays a crucial role in regulating global climate and sea levels.
Approximately 70% of the Earth's freshwater is stored in ice caps and glaciers, with about 90% of this frozen water located in Antarctica and Greenland. This means that a significant portion of the planet's freshwater resources is concentrated in polar regions. In terms of the total water on Earth, about 2% is frozen at the poles.
