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.
It causes for the world climate to rise causing global warming. Also erosion causes be buildings to be eaten away from water or acid rain and can destroy homes and possible hurt humans. Deposition runs into the water and streams with eventually goes to the water lines to the food and drinks we consume today.
It is limited becuase of their amount of arable land
