Height of bars shows total precipitation; darker areas represent evaporation while lighter areas show run-off. Total annual precipitation on land is 119 000 km³, of which 72 000 km³ evaporates, leaving some 47 000 km³ of run-off

Notes: regions do not correspond exactly to GEO regions; run-off includes flows to groundwater, inland basins, and ice flows of Antarctica
