oceans freshwater and lakes and streams cover 2/3 of earth
More than two-thirds of Earth's freshwater is stored in glaciers and ice caps, primarily in Greenland and Antarctica. The remaining freshwater is found in rivers, lakes, and underground aquifers. This significant concentration in ice formations highlights the vulnerability of freshwater resources to climate change and global warming.
Almost two-thirds of Earth's freshwater is located in glaciers and ice caps, primarily found in Antarctica and Greenland. The remainder is stored in groundwater, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. This significant concentration in ice and glaciers highlights the critical role they play in the global water cycle and climate regulation.

More than two-thirds of Earth's freshwater is stored in glaciers and ice caps, primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. Additionally, a significant portion is found underground in aquifers. Only a small fraction of freshwater is accessible in rivers and lakes for direct human use.
More than two-thirds of the Earth's freshwater is stored in ice caps and glaciers, primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. This vast amount of frozen water significantly contributes to the planet's overall freshwater supply, while the remaining freshwater is found in rivers, lakes, groundwater, and atmospheric sources. Overall, only a small fraction of Earth's freshwater is readily accessible for human use.
3.5%
Most of Earth's freshwater is located in glaciers and ice caps, with a smaller amount stored in groundwater. Rivers, lakes, and streams make up a small percentage of Earth's total freshwater supply.
The water that flows in streams and rivers into the ocean and lakes is called runoff or freshwater.

25% of earths fresh water is contained in the Great lakes
Streams,rivers,ponds,lakes are the four main freshwater ecosystems
In freshwater ponds, lakes and streams.

Most of Earth's freshwater supply is stored in glaciers and ice caps, particularly in Antarctica and Greenland. Groundwater and surface water sources such as rivers, lakes, and streams also contribute to Earth's freshwater supply.
76% (more than two thirds) of Earth's freshwater is found in any ice on Earth. (ex. glaciers) 23% of freshwater is found in groundwater 12% of the groundwater is "shallow ground water" 11% of the groundwater is "deep ground water" 0.34% of Earth's freshwater is found in rivers, streams, and lakes 0.037% of freshwater is found in water vapor
The Great Lakes are not salty because they are filled with freshwater from rivers and streams, and are not connected to the ocean.
