Most of Earth's fresh water is not available to drink because a large portion is stored in glaciers and ice caps, while the rest is located underground in aquifers. These sources are not easily accessible for drinking water due to factors like physical barriers, contamination risks, or the high cost of extraction and treatment.
Yes, geysers typically consist of fresh water that is heated underground by geothermal energy. When the water erupts through the geyser opening, it can sometimes pick up minerals from the surrounding rocks, but it is still considered fresh water.
About 97% of the Earth's available water is found in oceans as saltwater. This water is too salty for most human purposes and needs to be desalinated for consumption.
Most of Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps, accounting for about 68.7% of the total fresh water. Other sources include groundwater, which makes up about 30.1%, and surface water in lakes, rivers, and swamps, which account for roughly 0.3%.

75% of the Earths FRESH water is located in the Antarctic.
Approximately 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh water, of which only about 0.5% is readily accessible for use by living organisms. The majority of fresh water is stored in glaciers, ice caps, and deep underground aquifers.
3% of the earths water, is fresh water
only about 3 % is fresh water and less than 1 percent of that is available the rest is frozen in glaciers etc
All fresh water is stored in the ice shelves of the north and south poles.
Approximately 0.3% of the earth's hydrosphere is available for human use as freshwater. The rest is saltwater found in oceans and seas.
The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked up in polar ice caps and glaciers. Only a small fraction of fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, and underground sources.
