Water : protect the cycle

 

            
             Many individuals in society disregard how important water is to life. There are ruthless individuals who see little or no importance in preserving for the generations to come and thus waste tons and tons of water on a daily basis. Seventy-five percent of our body is made of water. Water forms the basis for survival, we need water and we must collaborate and help preserve the cycle.
             The first step of the cycle is a physical process by which moisture is lost directly into the atmosphere from water surfaces and the soil due to the effects of sun movement and the sun's heat. This very important process is known as evaporation. Inorder to sustain this process, conservation and preservation of the climatic conditions in an area must be taken into consideration. Evaporation rates are affected by temperature, wind speed, humidity, hours of sunshine and other climatic factors. If the processes that regulate these climatic factors were negatively altered by human activities, then evaporation, which plays a crucial role in water cycle, would be decreased. For example, humans release C.F.C (chlorofluorocarbons) when they use hair products in cans etc. This gas enters the atmosphere and is currently causing a threat to the ozone layer. Researchers believe that this gas is causing an already existing hole in the ozone layer to get even larger. This is rapidly affecting and disrupting climatic conditions and patterns. The result would be an imbalance in the water cycle, meaning it would interrupt the amount of water the cycle would receive. Hence, there would be less precipitation and less water for use.
             Precipitation usually occurs in areas known as water sheds. A watershed is an area marked by a ridge of highland beyond which any precipitation will drain into adjacent basins via rivers and its tributaries. Hence it is the fundamental process by which water is physically collected after precipitation.
