Where is your BS detector. Most of the worlds fresh water is ground
water. Of the rest, most is ice. They teach that stuff in the
undemanding Geology 101, " Rocks For Jocks ". Where English majors go
to get an A in a science course.

Care to wager? For what it's worth, I didn't ever say anything to the
affect that "most" of the worlds fresh water did anything. I said 20%
of the world's fresh water goes over the falls.

You are full of it. Twenty percent of the river water in North America
is a far cry from the world's anything. Seen any icebergs go over the
falls? Big slabs of water soaked sandstone perhaps? That is where the
fresh water is, not in that or any other river. As for the actual flow
over the falls, it isn't what it used to be. Lots of water goes
through turbines instead. Sooner or later, all the water will go for
hydro power, and the falls will be dry.
