505,000km^3*(1000 m/km)^3*1kg/m^3*2.2lbs/kg*1 ton/2000lbs per year.
= 5.05*10^5*10^9*2.2/2/10^3 tons water per year.
roughly 5.05 *10^(14-3) = 5.05 *10^11 tons/year.
5.05*10^11 tons/year *1 year/365 days
1.52*10^9 tons/day.
this is 1.5 billion tons/day. this is a large #, but 10^9 smaller than you're figure. i"m not sure how you got yours, sorry.
