Compare the information in Table  to the predictions you made about
  global water reservoirs in Table  in Warm-up .. Which reservoirs did you
  overestimate and which did you underestimate? What will be an ideal response?



Question 2

Using the data in Table , calculate what percentage of the worlds potable
  water (freshwater that is fit to drink) is directly accessible in surface
  reservoirs such as freshwater lakes and rivers. What will be an ideal response?


 

Reservoir Water volume
  km3
  Percent of total water
  Groundwater 8,340,000 0.62
  Freshwater lakes 125,000 0.0093
  Inland seas 104,000 0.0078
  Soil moisture 67,000 0.0050
  Rivers 1,250 0.000093
  Oceans ,,, .
