Freshwater is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life, supporting ecosystems, and enabling socio-economic development. Despite covering about 71 percent of the Earth's surface, water is largely saline, with only about 2.5 percent classified as freshwater. Of this small fraction, nearly 68.7 percent is locked in glaciers and ice caps, 30.1 percent is stored as groundwater, and less than 1.2 percent is available in surface water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands. This limited and unevenly distributed resource forms the foundation of all terrestrial ecosystems and human civilizations. The global distribution of freshwater is influenced by climatic, geological, and topographical factors, resulting in significant regional disparities that shape the environmental, economic, and political realities of societies across the world. The availability of freshwater varies widely between regions. South America, particularly the Amazon Basin, holds the largest share of global freshwater resources, with countries like Brazil possessing almost 12 percent of the world’s renewable freshwater supply. The Congo River Basin in Central Africa also accounts for a substantial portion of the global total. North America benefits from large freshwater systems such as the Great Lakes, the Mississippi River, and vast groundwater aquifers, while parts of Asia, including the Himalayan region, contain massive reserves of glacial meltwater feeding major rivers like the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Yangtze, and Mekong.
