15th March 2005 		In response to Julie:

Total area includes area of internal waterways such as lakes and rivers. In some countries, e.g. Canada, these areas make up a significant proportion of the total area. Land area is the total national area with the waterways subtracted. To investigate the area of land which is useful for farming see arable land.
