5 Importance of Water Cycle

The Water Cycle consists of the following phases: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, underground circulation, fusion, and last solidification. The wonderful thing about the water cycle is that it is continuous and that allows human beings and other living beings to enjoy the benefits of it.

The role of each phases:

1. Evapaoration

  • This phase of the cycle helps us to keep the heat of solar radiation on the planet and thus achieve stable temperatures that allow the life of plants, animal,s and humans. This evaporated water rises to the atmosphere through the air, once there, the temperature causes this vapor to change shape and condense.

2. Condensation

  • During condensation, what we know as clouds are formed, which reflect sunlight and protect us from it.  After the formation of clouds, the third phase happens, which is;

3. Precipitation

  • Also known as rain or snow. Thanks to this type of precipitation, several things happen on the planet.
  • In colder areas this water freezes and creates ice and glaciers, vital for the existence of many animal life and for the storage of water in the form of ice.
  • Due to precipitation, the fields receive water, which helps the development of agriculture. Another of its benefits is that due to this rain it increases the water levels in rivers, lakes, and seas.

4-5. Infiltration and Run-offs

  • When this water coming from the precipitation touches the ground, the fourth phase occurs: infiltration and the fifth (run-off) at the same time.
  • Water infiltration consists of entering the subsoil. This later, it returns to the surface through the rivers, seas, lakes, even thanks to the transpiration of the plants, etc.
  • After this evaporates again and start the cycle again. In the runoff phase, which happens at the same time as the infiltration, but above the ground, that is, here the water stays on the surface. Sometimes in depressions of land, it can form rivers of fresh water, rivers that are part of currents and then reach the sea. After this, the evaporation process happens and the cycle starts again.

Clearly, thanks to the hydrological cycle it is possible for many natural processes of the planet to happen, on which we depend to survive.
