"...Owing to moisture circulation on the Earth, water is permanently moving and is renewed at an extremely low rate. The rate of water renewal is highest for living organisms (a few hours). Only 8 days are necessary for full moisture renewal in the atmosphere. The period of water renewal in rivers and reservoirs are respectively 19 and 52 days. Water rotation period in other water bodies is essentially greater. It is equal to 5 years for swamps and 17 years for lakes. About 1400 years is required for complete groundwater replacement and 2650 years for renewal of the World Ocean. The most invariable water bodies are glaciers and underground ice. Their periods of water renewal reach 9700 and 10 000 years respectively.
Moisture circulation within small areas and the whole planet is carried out both every second and on a long-term time scale. This can create either favorable or extremely severe conditions for life and economic activity. It is appropriate to recollect Antoine de Saint-Exuperit's view on water: "It is impossible to say, that you are necessary for life; you are the life". The academician V.I. Vernadskiy wrote: "water stands apart in the history of our planet. There is no natural body equivalent to water in its influence on the most mighty geological processes. There is no terrestrial substance, mineral and rock, living organism, which did not hold it. The whole terrestrial substance is covered and penetrated by it". The consequences of global water circulation provide strong evidence for the significance of water on the Earth. The amount of water reaching the World Ocean and that received by the land is steady in geological time scales. Moisture balance is not observed in shorter periods of times. The excess of water runoff to the World Ocean over evaporation results in ocean level rise and flooding of the lowlands along the coasts. Conversely, when the ocean level falls, the volume of glaciers increases. Obviously, the instability of the World Ocean level as a planetary factor has an influence on the existence of people, organization of economy, and evolution of water and land ecosystems. ..."
