According to the United States Geological Survey, approximately 68.7% of freshwater resources are frozen in glaciers and ice caps, while groundwater accounts for 30.1%, leaving surface water sources such as rivers and lakes with only 1.2% of all freshwater. Therefore, water in the atmosphere and in rivers and streams accounts for less than 4% of all freshwater.
