You can use union all:

select id, col1 as col
from t
union all
select id, col2 as col
from t;

Something like this should work for most purposes.

EDIT:

For your particular data:

select id, name, 'Land' as category, land as surface
from mytable
union all
select id, name, 'Water' as category, water as surface
from mytable;
