The majority of the Earth’s freshwater is found in glaciers and ice caps.
To elaborate, about 68.7% of the Earth’s freshwater is stored in glaciers and ice caps, predominantly in places like Antarctica and Greenland. This is a significant percentage compared to other sources of freshwater. Lakes and rivers contain roughly 0.3% of the world’s freshwater, while underground springs hold about 30.1%. Interestingly, estuaries, where freshwater meets saltwater, do not hold a significant amount of freshwater in comparison.
