Hey, I'm Drippy!
Hi, I'm Salty, Drippy's saline counterpart! Did you know that one way to produce table salt is to evaporate saline water in evaporation ponds, a technique used by people for thousands of years?

332,5 million kub mil suvning 96 foizdan ko'prog'ini sho'r suv bilan ta'minlaydigan dunyoning umumiy suv ta'minoti qanday ekanligiga e'tibor bering. Umumiy chuchuk suvlarning 68 foizdan ko'prog'i muz va muzliklarda yashiringan. Chuchuk suvning yana 30 foizi er ostidadir.

Жер шарындағы су әрдайым қозғалыста болады. Гидрологиялық цикл ретінде белгілі табиғи су айналымы судың Жер бетіндегі және астындағы үздіксіз қозғалысын сипаттайды. Табиғатта су сұйық, мұз және бу күйінде кездеседі. Ол үнемі бір күйден екінші күйге ауысып отырады және бұл үдеріс миллиондаған жылдар бойы жүріп келеді.
