There is no problem for the global flood view if you just consider the
source of water. When you look at the freshwater fauna lots of problems
appear. Most of the freshwater animals are very sensitive to even small
amounts of fluctuations in salinity, turbidity, pH, etc. In the global
flood view you must (again) assume a miraculous mantainance of this fauna alive
for the entire period of the flood and (even more miraculous) to assign
the different faunas for the different river basins all over the world.
