Detailed explanation-1: -Glacial ice is the largest freshwater reservoir, containing 3 percent of Earth’s water. Groundwater is the largest reservoir of freshwater that is available for human use.

Detailed explanation-2: -About three-quarters of Earth’s freshwater is stored in glaciers. Therefore, glacier ice is the second largest reservoir of water on Earth and the largest reservoir of freshwater on Earth!

Detailed explanation-3: -The oceans are, by far, the largest reservoir of water on earth-over 96% of all of Earth’s water exists in the oceans. Not only do the oceans provide evaporated water to the water cycle, they also allow water to move all around the globe as ocean currents.

Detailed explanation-4: -By far, the largest reservoir of accessible water is the oceans. It holds about 98 percent of all the accessible water at the Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -1) The largest reservoirs of water on the planet are the oceans, where salt water is found. 2) The portion of fresh water available in the world is only 3%, most of this water is found in the polar ice caps.
