    The majority of Earth's water is found in oceans, which contain around 97% of the planet's water. Only about 3% of Earth's water is fresh water, which is found in ice sheets, glaciers, groundwater, lakes, rivers and streams. Most fresh water is stored in ice sheets and glaciers. In the future, obtaining fresh water will increasingly involve desalination of seawater and accessing deeper groundwater due to climate change impacts.
