In terms of annual precipitation, the continent receiving the least per year would be Antarctica. In terms of surface water, the continent with the most would also be Antarctica.

Peru averages only 6mm of precipitation per year. Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates all get more than ten times that much.
