Describe the distribution and quantity of fresh water on Earth.?

Answer 1

Almost all of Earth's fresh water is contained within the polar ice caps.

The atmosphere holds about about 2,900 cu mi of water at any time, while all the world’s rivers and freshwater lakes hold about about 29,000 cu mi. The world’s two main reservoirs of fresh water are the great polar ice caps, which contain about 6.7 million cu mi, and the ground, which contains about 2 million cu mi.
