Freshwater is found in rivers, lakes, ice and in underground resevoirs.

Advantages
Freshwater is required to survive, so living near a source of it is nearly crucial to survive. Fish species also regularly swim in freshwater, and other land-based animals also need to venture to these sources in order to survive, and so these can be great areas to gather food in. Freshwater sources can also server to cool you off in hotter climates, as water absorbs heat much better than air.

Disadvantages
As animals need water to survive, predators will often venture here and can pose a safety risk. Also, in colder climates, freshwater will increase chances of hypothermia. Still water, such as ponds, can also contain nasty diseases and kill quite easily.
