Where is the largest reservoir of freshwater located on Earth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In glaciers and ice caps

Correct answer: B, glaciers and ice caps. Freshwater means water containing very little dissolved salt. Earth’s freshwater is distributed among glaciers and ice caps, groundwater, lakes, rivers, soil moisture, and the atmosphere. The largest share is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps, so it is not readily available for drinking, farming, or daily use. A, rivers, contain freshwater but only a very small amount compared with frozen freshwater. C, lakes, also store freshwater, but their total share is smaller. D, groundwater is an important and useful reserve, yet it is not the largest freshwater reservoir. Remember: the largest freshwater store is frozen, whereas the largest total water store is in the oceans. This distinction prevents a common confusion.
