Key finding (our summary)
Estimates evaporation losses from reservoirs at global scale, putting a number on how much of the world's stored surface water is returned to the atmosphere each year.
Global accounting frames evaporation as a first-order term in the water balance of human-managed storage, not a rounding error.
