    The document discusses freshwater and saltwater systems, including the distribution and sources of water on Earth. The majority of water on Earth is saltwater found in oceans, while only a small percentage is freshwater, mostly locked up in icecaps and glaciers or located underground. Freshwater is also found in lakes, inland seas, soil moisture, and the atmosphere. The document outlines different water systems like watersheds and drainage basins, as well as factors that affect water quality like runoff, sewage, and pollution.
