1. Groundwater: Water that is stored beneath Earth's surface in soil and rock layers is called groundwater. It is a vital source of drinking water for many people around the world and can be accessed through wells and springs.
2. Ice caps and glaciers: Water can be found in the form of ice in glaciers and ice caps. These are large masses of ice that form on land and can store vast amounts of water.
3. Oceans and seas: Oceans and seas cover about 71% of Earth's surface and are the largest reservoirs of water on the planet. They contain saltwater, which is not directly drinkable by humans, but can be desalinated to make it suitable for drinking.
4. Lakes and rivers: Lakes and rivers are freshwater bodies that hold a significant amount of water. Lakes are large bodies of standing water, while rivers are flowing bodies of water.
5. Clouds: Water is also present in the atmosphere in the form of clouds. Clouds are formed when water vapor condenses into tiny droplets or ice crystals.
6. Living organisms: All living organisms contain water, including humans, plants, and animals. Water makes up a large percentage of the mass of living organisms and is essential for their survival.
