Earth is the "watery planet". Viewed from space it is predominantly blue, as 74 % of its surface is covered by water. Oceans contain 97 % of the earth's water while the remaining 3 % is classified as freshwater. Seventy-seven percent of this surface freshwater is stored as ice and 22% as groundwater and soil moisture. The remaining freshwater, making up less than 1 % of the world total, is contained in lakes, rivers and wetlands.

Most of Earth's Fresh Water supply is found frozen in arctic glaciers. This is because salt water don't freeze. The chemical Chlorine don't freeze and salt is Sodium Chloride. Sodium and Chlorine. Saltless water is the only type of naturally found water that can freeze. This is called, "freshwater". I'm happy to be able to help you.

Either ice in Antarctica, or the Great Lakes. (the Great Lakes are 1/5 of the world's fresh water, so I don't think that is it. Maybe the Amazon river.

The correct answer is lakes, ponds and rivers. It's also found in some streams. I know for a fact because I took a test on this in science and I got a 100.
