This Atlas reveals the vivid and changing face of our planet’s surface water. Migrating rivers, shrinking and expanding wetlands, new coastlines, old coastlines, estuaries, mudflats, glacial-melt lakes, rice fields and irrigation canals, salt ponds, fish ponds, new lakes, ancient lakes, submerged land and new land, all underscore the beauty and fragility of our natural - and anthropogenic - environment. Our planet’s surface water is intensely dynamic. And until now these dynamics have not been mapped.
