Water is a cyclic resource. It can be used and re-used.
• Water also undergoes a cycle from the ocean to land and land to the ocean.
• The hydrological cycle describes the movement of water on, in, and above the earth.
• The hydrological cycle is the circulation of water within the earth’s hydrosphere in different forms
i.e. the liquid, solid, and gaseous phases.
• It also refers to the continuous exchange of water between the oceans, atmosphere, land surface
and subsurface, and the organisms.
• About 71 percent of the planetary water is found in the oceans.
• The remaining is held as freshwater in glaciers and ice caps, groundwater sources, lakes, soil
moisture, atmosphere, streams, and within life.
• Nearly 59 percent of the water that falls on land returns to the atmosphere through evaporation
from over the oceans as well as from other places.
• The remainder runs off on the surface, infiltrates into the ground or a part of it becomes a glacier.
