Surface Water

Water present on Earth’s surface is found in different forms: the oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, and falls. These are called surface water. There are two types of surface water: salt and fresh water.

Salt Water

Water from the oceans and the seas is classified as salt water. These saltwater sources are beneficial to humans such as for traveling and maintaining natural cycles. On the other hand, salt water is not useful for drinking; consuming it can actually harm humans.

Fresh Water

The water in rivers, lakes, streams, and falls is fresh water. The majority of it is stored in the form of glaciers and ice caps. An ice cap is a miniature sheet of ice found at high elevation, such as in the peaks of mountains.
