UoI: Here, there, water everywhere

June 1st. - 5th

Distribution and Availability of Usable Water

The World's Water

"Water, Water, Everywhere...." You've heard the phrase, and for water, it really is true. Earth's water is (almost) everywhere: above the Earth in the air and clouds, on the Earth as rivers, oceans, ice, plants, and inside the Earth in the top few miles of the ground.

Taken from: earth.rice.edu/

The globe image below, is meant to show how much actual water exists, as compared to the total size of the Earth. The spheres look small because it is compared to the size of the whole globe. What it show is that Earth's water resides in a very thin slice all around the Earth's surface.

(Taken from http://water.usgs.gov/edu/earthwherewater.html)

All Earth's water, liquid fresh water, and water in lakes and rivers

Spheres showing:

• (1) All water (sphere over western U.S., 860 miles = 1,384km. in diameter)
• (2) Fresh liquid water in the ground, lakes, swamps, and rivers (sphere over Kentucky, 169.5 miles = 273km. in diameter), and 
• (3) Fresh-water lakes and rivers (sphere over Georgia, 34.9 miles = 56km in diameter).
