Melting releases water that has been trapped in glaciers and icecaps or snow from nearby mountains. Reduce the quantity of water that seeps into the soil. Some methods for increasing freshwater resources in a specific location include desalinating unusable salt water.

Rivers, lakes, dams, creeks, & streams all serve as storage areas for freshwater on the terrain. These water sources on the ground surface provide the majority of the water that people use each day. More than 68 percent of the world's freshwater is trapped in glaciers and ice.

In the ground, there is an additional 30% of freshwater. Less than 1/150th of one percent, or 22,300 cubic miles (93,100 cubic miles), of the world's fresh surface water, comes from rivers and lakes.
