Water Cycle Diagram And Water Conservation
By James J Dixon
Water cycle diagram helps one understand the process of rainwater formation and the importance of water conservation. We need to conserve our water to meet the needs of an increasing population. These days of tapped water in urban areas, do not reflect the true needs of people living in rural areas and areas with long periods of drought.There are areas in our country where it only rains for a short period of the year and the rest of the year is mostly dry. We need to take action to conserve as much water as possible to prevent too much water simply evaporating and disappearing.
You can take measures to use less water. Easy steps include using less water, cut down wasting water by fixing dripping taps and leaky pipes and take measures to reuse water and saving water with a rainwater tank. Remember, water in your water tank, gathered from the rain is water you do not have to pay the water utility. It is free water.
Unless, of course you live in a drought area and water has to be trucked in, to fill your water tank.
A Water Cycle Diagram
I remember the first time I saw a water cycle diagram. I was in middle school, and I had no idea why it was important. I knew vaguely that water changed places frequently. I knew, for example, that it would go up into the air and form clouds, come down as rain, and slowly drain out into the ocean. The significance of this fact was lost on me however.That is why when I show my students a diagram of the water cycle, I am careful to explain its significance. Nowadays, water cycle diagrams and not just a casual part of the curriculum. They are absolutely crucial to understand.
After all, with global warming as it is, understanding the water cycle is important for the leaders of tomorrow. The water cycle, you see, is one of the most important environmental cycles. Almost everything about our environment is completely dependent on it.
