As a former member of the USN, I find this both amusing and astonishing.

Explanation: How much of planet Earth is made of water? Very little, actually. Although oceans of water cover about 70 percent of Earth's surface, these oceans are shallow compared to the Earth's radius. The above illustration shows what would happen if all of the water on or near the surface of the Earth were bunched up into a ball. The radius of this ball would be only about 700 kilometers, less than half the radius of the Earth's Moon, but slightly larger than Saturn's moon Rhea which, like many moons in our outer Solar System, is mostly water ice. How even this much water came to be on the Earth and whether any significant amount is trapped far beneath Earth's surface remain topics of research.

Ping!

Is that why we’re having another drought here in Texas?

[rightwingextremist1776]

I see they didn’t account for water trapped in the soil or atmosphere...

So much for accuracy....must have been done by the same people involved in the GW fraud.....

The DUMBASS who wrote this has NEVER been in the Atlantic or Pacific.

I’m told that if the earth were proportionally the size of an apple, the oceans would be about equal to the peel in depth.

By some accounts there is more water trapped in the mantel than there is above the crust.

This is the same ball of water that’s been around for a bazillion years, right?

Good luck to them with the latest scare.

We've got plenty of water.

[oldbrowser]

Not to worry, every time it rains we get more.
It is recyclable. Also I heard that humans are 90% water.

The next series of wars will be fought over water/water rights. Look at China buying up rights in USA, elsewhre.

BTW, one can drown in a teaspoon of water, if done properly.

Scientists crack me up with factoids like this. They use it to show how “fragile” the world is, but it really just shows how wonderful it is that God put just the right amount of water on Earth to make it habitable.

[Joe 6-pack]

Wow....so little water to be shared. Makes you wonder why the left is so obsessed with keeping so much of it being locked up in glaciers and the polar caps.

Somebodies REALLY planning on jacking the price....I wonder which “investment bank” has already bought and “securitized”
all the public works bonds across the country?

[Sparky21555]

G W Bush has stolen all the water! Bush’s fault! It’s over his ranch.

That graphic proves there is no drought in California.
