This article is a list of countries by percentage of water area in relation to total area (land area and water area).[1]
This list includes three columns of data:
- Total area (km²): is the sum of all land and water areas delimited by international boundaries and/or coastlines.
- Land area (km²): is the aggregate of all surfaces delimited by international boundaries and/or coastlines, excluding inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers).
- Water area (km²): is the sum of the surfaces of all inland water bodies, such as lakes, reservoirs, or rivers, as delimited by international boundaries and/or coastlines.[2]
