Elements of The Hydrologic Cycle
Precipitation
Precipitation is the release of water from the atmosphere to reach the surface
of the earth.The term ‘precipitation’ covers all forms of water
being released by...
Aquifers and Aquitards
Aquifers and aquitards are geological formations that play a crucial role in the hydrological cycle and the availability of groundwater.
Aquifers are porous and permeable...
Hydrogeology
Hydrogeology is a branch of geology that deals with the study of the distribution, movement, and quality of water in the subsurface. Hydrogeology is...
Evaporation and Transpiration
The process through which water is transferred from the surface of the Earth (land surface, free water surfaces, soil water, etc.) to the atmosphere is called evaporation.During evaporation process the latent heat of evaporation is taken from the surface of evaporation.Therefore evaporation is considered as a cooling process. Evaporation from land surface, free water surfaces, soil water, etc. are of great importance in hydrological and meterological studies,
