HYDROLOGIC/WATER CYCLE
The HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE or the WATER CYCLE, describes the continuous
movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The
water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean,
or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes -
EVAPORATION, CONDENSATION, PRECIPITATION, INFILTRATION, SURFAC
E RUNOFF.
 PROCESS OF CYCLE
• Evaporation
Evaporation is simply the process by which liquid turns into gas. Water
(liquid) turns into vapor (gas) .Water in the liquid state is a compound, and
the heat breaks up the bonds into water molecules, which is gaseous in
nature.
• Condensation
Condensation the process by which water vapor (gas) in the atmosphere
turns into water (liquid state). It is the opposite of evaporation. This stage is
very important because it is the cloud formation stage. Cool temperatures
are essential for condensation to happen, because as long as the
temperature in the atmosphere is high, it can hold the water vapor and
delay condensation.
• Precipitation
After condensation, the size of water droplets in the atmosphere get bigger
as more and more water particles bump into each other. Soon, the fall
velocity or the force of gravity is more than the wind or air currents holding
it. The water has to come down.
• Infiltration
Infiltration is the process by which precipitation or water
soaks into subsurface soils and moves into rocks through
cracks and pore spaces. As we mentioned before, the bulk of
rainwater and melted snow end up infiltrated.
• Trans piratio n
This is the discharge of water vapor from the leaves of plants
into the atmosphere. It is a process that the eye cannot see,
even though the amounts of moisture involved it significant.
• Runoff
Runoff is precipitation that did not get (infiltrated) absorbed
into the soil, or did not evaporate, and therefore, made its
way from the ground surface into places that water collect.
Runoff causes erosion, and also carry chemicals and
substances on the ground surface along to the rivers where
the water ends up. I too.
