The Water Cycle (also known as the hydrologic cycle) and ground water salinity.

GROUNDWATER SALINITY & THE WATER CYCLE The Water Cycle (also known as the hydrologic cycle) is the journey water takes as it circulates from the land to the sky and back again. The energy that evaporates water from the Earth's surface (oceans, lakes, soil and ice) is provided by the sun's heat. The process where plants lose water to the air is called transpiration. Once the water is evaporated into the atmosphere the water condenses …
