Hydro Code	Statement (Summary Synopsis Paragraph)	Remarks
0	World has 0-4% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water. Water is in precious, short supply on this world and must often be imported, such as from ice-bearing planetoids if available. Water recycling is an important part of any settlement on this world.	Desert World
1	World has 5-14% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water. Water is in precious, short supply on this world and must often be imported, such as from ice-bearing planetoids if available. Water recycling may be a significant part of any settlement on this world.
2	World has 15-24% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water. Water recycling may be a significant part of any settlement on this world.
3	World has 25-34% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water.
4	World has 35-44% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water.
5	World has 45-54% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water.
6	World has 55-64% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water.
7	World has 65-74% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water.	Example: Terra
8	World has 75-84% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water.
9	World has 85-94% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water. Land is in short supply. Not including any population in orbit, settlements are either confined to several islands (some large), float on or above the water, or are underwater.
A	World has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid, including free-standing water. Land is in very short supply. Not including any population in orbit, settlements are either confined to a few islands, float on or above the water, or are underwater.
