About 70% of the Earth's freshwater is found in the form of ice caps and glaciers -it is frozen. Out of this, the majority is actually in one place: covering the continent of Antarctica.

One could argue that there is more water in the oceans, but it's not fresh water- it's salty water, so it's not good to drink.
