    How old is water ?

    Has all water been on earth millions of years or is new water being made and old water disappearing. Could the water I have just drunk have passed through a Dinosaur ?

    Think about the water cycle. Water is constantly being processed starting with rain, falling to earth, soaking the ground, filling ponds, rivers, streams, lakes etc. and some of it evaporating and forming clouds that make rain that once again falls on the earth.

    No your drinking water probably didn't pass through a dinosaur unless it came from an underground lake that has never before been tapped as a source of drinking water.
    As old as dirt--- Oh wait, that's me!! ;)
    Water has been on earth since the beginning of time!
    It could indeed have done so. The water cycle is an amazing thing!
