In the ice in Antarctica... (apparently)
"Access to unpolluted fresh water is a critical issue for the survival of many species, including humans, who must drink fresh water in order to survive. However, only 3% of water on the Earth is fresh water, and about two-thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. Most of the rest is groundwater, but 0.3% is surface water. Fresh water lakes contain seven-eighths of fresh surface water. Swamps have most of the rest, but a little is in rivers. The atmosphere only contains 0.04% of fresh water"

If one wants to explore space, water being as dense as it is, is something you want to have at the end of the voyage so you do not have to tote along water for the entirety of trip to the destination, dwell time at the destination and the return home. As for water on earth- it is the results of politics. Refine a reverse Osmosis system that utilizes the water fully, and you will be a very rich man.
