Where does the water go?

Dunno about you, but I often find myself wondering where various little trickles eventually end up. Found this delightful data visualizer that gives turn-by-turn directions and a map for a drop of water that falls anywhere in the contiguous United States.

That is interesting. There's a lot of detail in the landscape that the view passes over - I just wish it moved slower.
