Where is most of the fresh water is trapped?

Most of the Earth's fresh water is trapped in glaciers and ice caps, particularly in Greenland and Antarctica, which hold about 68.7% of the total fresh water. Additionally, significant amounts are found in groundwater aquifers, accounting for approximately 30.1% of fresh water. Only a small fraction, about 1.2%, is available in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs for direct human use.
