*Saturation Zone

Saturation Zone:
it is the area below to water table where all the empty spaces are filled with water, the saturation zone ends when water can not seep further in to the ground

*Surface Water

Surface Water:
Surface water is water being collected at the surface
of lakes, rivers, streams, oceans, or wetlands

Seventh Step Of the Cycle : Discharge


Discharge:
is when all of the underground water movement is finally entered in a lake or stream
there the water will be evaporated once more and the cycle will renew itself

Sixth Step Of the Cycle : GroundWater


GroundWater:
Once the water combines with the aquifer the ground water beings to move through all the crevices in the soil particles on its way toward lower elevations

Fourth & Fifth Step Of the Cycle : Recharge ⇒ Aquifier

Recharge:
Once water reaches earth’s surface, some will flow with the surface of the earth as runoff while the rest of it soaks into the soil/ recharge

The water goes down through the recharge until it turns in to ground water and gets stored in the aquifer

Third Step Of the Cycle : Precipitation


Precipitation:
is the rain fall/hail/sleet/snow
whatever happens after evaporation, depending on your weather circumstances

Second Step Of the Cycle : Condensation


Condensation:
This invisible vapor, mostly coming from the world’s
oceans, travels up into the atmosphere and condenses,
forming clouds.

- Vapors in the clouds condense until they form water droplets.
Which then fall from the sky as rain...
