THE WATER CYCLE Water Cycle • Another name for the water cycle is the hydrological cycle. • The hydrological cycle/ water cycle is an interchange or recycling of water between the air, sea and land. As such, it is a continuous process in which water moves through the environment. Processes in the Water Cycle • Condensation: the process by which vapour changes to liquid to form clouds. • Evaporation: the process by which water turns into vapour as it rises. • Precipitation: the process by which moisture reaches the surface. • Transpiration: the process by which plants lose moisture. Processes in the Water Cycle • Surface run-off: the process by which water runs of the surface. • Percolation: the downward filtering of water. • Through Flow: the lateral movement of water. • Infiltration: the process by which the soil gradually admits water. • Evapo-transpiration: the combination of evaporation and transpiration processes. • Groundwater: the water is held in the soil beneath the surface.
