It is estimated that the total fresh water reservoir on Earth is about 35 million m³. Glaciers and snow covers located in Antarctica accumulate as much as 61% of it, the remaining part is groundwater constituting about 30%, which is a source of supply of drinking water due to its very good quality. The remaining amount of fresh water is only 0.4% and includes lakes and artificial reservoirs, soil water, atmospheric water, marshes and wetlands, and river water.
