- Global Hydrological Cycle
- fixed amount of water on Earth - closed system
- stores
- global - oceans, lakes,aquifers, cryosphere
- local - vegetation storage, surface storage, soil moisture and groundwater storage
- flows
- infiltration
- throughflow
- percolation
- stem flow
- base flow
- channel flow
- surface runoff
- processes
- precipitation
- evaporation
- transportation
- cryosphere exchanges
- runoff
- global water supply
- 96.5% in oceans ans seas
- 2.5% is freshwater (not salty)
- 0.9% in other saline water sources
