Seven-tenths of Earth's fresh water is primarily found in glaciers and ice caps, particularly in Greenland and Antarctica. This significant portion is not readily accessible for human use, as it is locked in ice. Only a small fraction of fresh water is available in rivers, lakes, and underground aquifers for consumption and irrigation. Therefore, while seven-tenths represents a large quantity, the actual usable fresh water is much less.
