This site describes the distribution and movement of water around, through, and above the Earth as water vapor, liquid water, and ice, with emphasis on the water cycle (hydrologic cycle). A summary data table provides an estimate of global water distribution in cubic miles and kilometers from all sources (oceans, ice caps, groundwater, lakes, etc.). There is also a link to a water cycle graphic available in over 50 languages.
