translate "el flujo hídrico"

Can someone help me translate this: 40% de nuestro ‘stock’ de agua (glaciares) se irá en el flujo hídrico. I understand "el flujo hidrico" as water flow - but it does not really make sense in this context...

You translated correctly, so I guess it's a matter of understanding the cycle of water, and what happens if the glaciers melt.
Consider that according to your quote, 40% of all the planet's fresh water is stored in glaciers. So what happens if they melt?

i think it should be like this:
40% of our 'stock' of water (ice) will go in the water flow.
