The Eastern Hemisphere has more water than the Western Hemisphere.

The Eastern Hemisphere contains the vast majority of the Earth's water, including the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean. In contrast, the Western Hemisphere contains relatively less water, including the Atlantic Ocean and the much smaller Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica.

Overall, the Eastern Hemisphere contains about 83% of the Earth's water, while the Western Hemisphere contains only about 17%.
