Abstract
According to Untersteiner (1975), the total amount of water in all earthly forms is estimated to be 138 x 10 km. Of this, 97.4 % is sea water; 0.0009 % is atmospheric water vapour; 0.5 % is ground water, mostly at great depths; 0.1 % is contained in rivers and lakes, and 2.0 % is frozen. Today, perennial ice covers 11 % of the erath’s land surface and an average of 7 % of the world ocean.
