WATER CYCLE 2

Water Cycle

As per the textbook, less than one per cent of the fresh water (2,5% of all water in the planet Earth) is accessible for most of the living things in the world. To keep this amount of water in the lakes and rivers, there is a water cycle, which encompasses five different process

(evaporation and sublimation, condensation and precipitation, subsurface water flow, surface runoff and snowmelt, and streamflow) (Doršner, 2016). From the ocean to our tap and back to the ocean, the water follows a sequence of paths that are responsible for “producing” the drinkable water. However, we, the human being, can interfere in this cycle, impacting this process. In order to present the considerable impacts, I have made in the water cycle, and considering that I live

As per our textbook, we will be nine billion people around 2050.

And to change, I could say that it is not a matter of giving up something, but changing our behavior. Spending less time at the shower, washing the dishes in the machine, cleaning the car with shampoo, using the rain water to clean the house floor, and so many other actions would save a huge amount of water.

Another point we have to consider is that all this changes do not require special effort but only new approach about the environment and the ecosystem resources.

The balance between personal choices and the environmental considerations sometimes can be difficult because we are used to get so much from Nature; and for free. So, to change such a situation is not so easy as we could imagine. Unfortunately, the way we deal with ecosystem’s resources is part of our culture, social behavior and education process.

It is difficult to prove to someone that his or her action can seriously impact the planet. In fact, we, at least most of us, have an individual thought and do not make consideration about the all world. Recently, a friend of mine told me that he could not
