1.2.1 The Natural Water Cycle
Figure 1-1 The Natural Water Cycle
The natural water cycle is nature’s system of water circulation. Water falling as rain is
transpired by trees and vegetation, percolates into groundwater or runs into lakes, rivers or
oceans from which it evaporates, to fall again as rain in an endless cycle. This is shown in
Figure 1-1.
