Water Cycles

Here are 2 visuals taken from a Khan academy article on the water cycle. 

Fig.1 Openstax. Only 2.5 Percent of Water on Earth Is Fresh Water, and Less than 1 Percent of Fresh Water Is Easily Accessible to Living Things. (16 May 2016). Digital Image. Rice University.

Figure 1  shows the percentages of water in different forms. For example, it shows that only .3 % of the 2.5% of earth's entire water is in lakes and rivers. Th biggest point that can be taken from it is that very little of the earth's water is fresh.

Fig.2 Openstax. This graph shows the average residence time for water molecules in the Earth’s water reservoirs.(16 May 2016). Digital Image. Rice University.

Figure 2 shows how long water stays in certain locations/froms. The biggest takeaway her is that water stays in glacies and permafrost for a very long time.
