    The document discusses the hydrological cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface, including storage and transport between oceans, atmosphere, and land. It outlines the key components and processes of the water cycle like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, infiltration, and groundwater storage and discharge. The water cycle is important because it replenishes the small percentage of fresh water on which life depends, though it faces problems from depletion, contamination, climate change, and misuse of resources.

    Hydrological

    Cycle
    Existence and movement of water on, in, and above the Earth.
    •What is water cycle?
    •Where does all the Earth’s water come from?
    Components of water cycle
    • Water storage in oceans
    • Evaporation
    • Sublimation
    • Evapotranspiration
    • Water in the atmosphere
    • Condensation
    • Precipitation
    • Water storage in ice and snow
    • Snowmelt runoff to streams
    • Surface runoff
    • Stream flow
    • Freshwater Storage
    • Infiltration
    • Ground-water Storage
    • Ground-water Discharge
    • Springs
    Importance of Hydrological cycle
    •The water cycle is very important, as water is very
    important to us.
    •Approximately three-fourths of the Earth is covered with
    water--salt water.
    •Of this water, approximately one percent is the fresh
    water on which we depend.
    •The fresh water that we use and its continuous
    replacement is a result of the water cycle.
    Problems

    • Depleting fresh water resources


    • Groundwater – years to recharge naturally
    • Contaminated surface water
    • Global warming
    • Misuse
