While glaciers would move more earth, free flowing water is more of a constant, moving in places where glaciers do not form (i.e. Underground caverns and equatorial latitudes). Glaciers tend to displace landscape to accommodate their mass, where water actually carves landscape until it's source is cut off. Historically, water has eroded more features (the Grand Canyon) than has glaciers.
