About two thirds.
Explanation:
Besides the frozen river ice called glaziers, like Bering in Alaska and
glacial valley in Wyoming, icecaps like over entire Greenland,
Himalayas, Andes and Alps and ice sheets in Antarctica. All store
fresh water. Some caps are 100 k years old. Glaziers slide and the
fresh water therein melts and march to the target, river mouths,
While sliding, they carve lakes and valleys.
The percentage asked for is 69. When sea ( saline ) water is
included. it is 1.6.
