Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the distribution of Earth's fresh water. Fresh water is crucial for life and is distributed in various forms across the planet.
Consider the different sources of fresh water: underground aquifers, rivers and lakes, the atmosphere, and glaciers and ice caps.
Evaluate the volume of fresh water stored in each source. Glaciers and ice caps hold the largest volume of fresh water compared to other sources.
Recognize that glaciers and ice caps are primarily located in polar regions and high mountain areas, where they store vast amounts of fresh water in solid form.
Conclude that most of Earth's fresh water is found in glaciers and ice caps, which account for approximately 68.7% of the total fresh water supply.
