CYCLE
Josept D. Revuelta Acosta, Ph.D.
What is hydrologic cycle?
It is a natural sequence
through which water passes
into the atmosphere as water
vapor, precipitates to earth in
liquid or solid form, and
ultimately returns to the
atmosphere through
evapotranspiration.
Where does the hydrologic
cycle take place?
A watershed is defined as any surface area from which runoff resulting from rainfall
is collected and drained through a common point.

A Geographical Information
System Software
A geographic information system (GIS) is a system
that creates, manages, analyzes, and maps all
types of data. GIS connects data to a map,
integrating location data (where things are) with
all types of descriptive information (what things
are like there) (ESRI, 2022).
