The term drainage basin is usually used In evaluating the hydrology of an area, such as the stream flow Of runoff from hili slOpes. Drainage basins vary greatly In Size, from less lhan a hectare (2.5 acres) 10 millions of SQuare kilometers. A drainage basin Is usually named for its main stream or river, such as the MiSSiSsippi River drainage basin. -+ The main process In the cycle is Ihe global transfer of water from Ihe atmosphere 10 the land and oceans and back to the atmosphere. Together, the oceans, ice caps and glaciers account lor more than 99% of the total water, and both are generally unsuitable for human use because of salinity (seawater) and location (ice caps and glaciers). Only about 0.001% of the total water on Earth is in the atmosphere at anyone time. However, this relatively small amount of water in the global water cycle, with an average atmospheric residence time of only about 9 days, produces all our freshwater resources through the process of precipitation. -+ On a global scale, then, total water abundance Is not the problem; the prob- lem is water's ava ilability In the right place at the right time in the right form. Water can be found in either liquid, solid, or gaseous form at a number of loca- tions at or near Earth's surface. Depending on the Specific location, the resl· donce limo mo.y vory from 0. fow do.ys to mo.ny thousonds 01 yOGI'S . Howovor, OS mentioned, more than 99% of Earth's water in lis natural state Is unavailable or unsullable for beneficial human use. Thus, the amount of water for which all the people, plants, and animals on Earth compete is much less than 1% of the total. As the world's population and induslrial produclion of goods Increase, the use of water wit! also accelerate. The world per capita use 01 water in 1975 was about 185,000 gallyr. And the total human use of waler was abouIIO 'S gallyr. Today , world use of waler Is about 6,000, which is a ~Iraction of the naturally available freshwater. 1.
