Cool but doesn't a large amount get absorbed and end up in ground water pools etc?

  Yes and some evaporates, but I think the tool is mapping the path of water that doesn't leave the water system that way and flows out into a larger body.

  Water goes through the water cycle. Even if it's absorbed by the ground, it eventually leads to collection, evaporation, and precipitation again. If most of the water collected in underground pools, then eventually we'd have no oceans.

    Where "eventually" is on the order of "longer than the earth has existed so far", and longer than we have left until the sun engulfs the earth.

      Are you somehow claiming that most water exits the water cycle? Or it's possible a drop can?
