Global distribution of the world's water
 

Interesting picture I found fumbling around today.

In NZ our southern lakes are now spilling unneeded hydroelectric water...

I was surprised to see how little is in the atmosphere.

When I first saw the title of this post, I thought that it was going to be a map of fresh water distribution by country. That would be interesting to know too since the ability to get and use fresh water affects so much. It looks like we (in California) are going to be in another drought year. January is usually a very rainy month. It has only rained once or twice.
