  • Earth's Freshwater: Where is it Stored? Glaciers Hold the Majority
    The majority of Earth's freshwater is located in glaciers and ice caps.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Glaciers and ice caps: Around 69% of the world's freshwater is locked up in these massive frozen bodies of water.

    * Groundwater: This makes up about 30% of freshwater.

    * Surface water: Lakes, rivers, and swamps hold a tiny percentage, less than 1%.

    So, while we often think of lakes and rivers, the vast majority of freshwater is locked up in ice!
