Abstract
Water is essential not just for life but also for the comprehension of landscapes. Water covers around 70% of the Earth's surface, with the majority (97%) residing in ocean basins.1 nevertheless, only a minor portion of these fluids directly influence the
topography of the land. Wind-driven waves and saline waters have significantly influenced coastal zones, both historically and currently, while sea level serves as a base level for many rivers. However, shallow groundwaters and runoff, constituting only 0.6141% of Earth's total water, predominantly shape the land surface, particularly at medium and small scales.
