It might Ponds often dry up when their sources -- rain, runoff, and rivulets -- don't supply enough water to replenish what is lost via evaporation and seepage. Lakes, on the other hand, rarely dry up because their sources -- rain, runoff, underground springs, and streams -- more than keep up with what is lost. Lakes, themselves,are often sources of rivers.

What form is most of earths water in?

Only about 3% of Earth's water is fresh. Two percent of the Earth's water (about 66% of all fresh water) is in solid form, found in ice caps and glaciers. Because it is frozen and so far away, the fresh water in ice caps is not available for use by people or plants. That leaves about 1% of all the Earth's water in a form usable to humans and land animals. This fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, and in the ground. (A small amount of water is found as vapor in the atmosphere.)
