The combined area of the world's seas is about 360 million sq. km.

Given 1 cm = 1/100, 000 km

So 1 cm of of the world's seas equals;

360, 000, 000 ÷ 100, 000 cubic km

equals 3600 cubic km. or an area of 3600 square km holding 1 km depth of water.

Maybe when we achieve unlimited and cheap energy we can desalinate water on a large scale.

If nuclear fusion is achieved then we can look forward to mega seawater desalination plants.
