While the remaining two-thirds are confined in the ice cap of the Antarctic. Since the available fresh water for human consumption is minimal, many are greatly affected due to water scarcity across the globe.

In fact, some people in specific countries dig the ground as their water source. Similar to human and other living beings, water also undergoes certain transition or process as a part and parcel of the universe; thus it undergoes a particular process called water cycle. Below is the simplest explanation on how to describe the water cycle.

The hydrologic cycle, commonly known as water cycle is the involvement of water cycling through the biosphere. Naturally, water exists in three different forms such as solid, gas, and liquid. The water consistently cycles in the atmosphere through these forms. It is called water vapor, or water can condense in the form of clouds. While it’s on the ground, water is in its liquid form. However, water underground is considered as that in the ocean or in other body of water on earth. Moreover, water can go through precipitation and come in the forms of snow, rain, hail, sleet, and the like.

Basically, there’s only a limited approach on how to describe the water cycle. Thus, this natural process is very simple to understand. The foremost process is evaporation which simply illustrates the water entering the atmosphere. Whereas in the atmosphere, condensation takes place, hence water transforms into clouds.

Finally, precipitation of the water means it falls back downward to the ground (whether in the form of rain, snow, etc). The process will repeat all over again, that’s why it’s called a water cycle. Definitely, to describe the water cycle means to explain the process all over again.

Generally, each drop of water on earth undergoes and moves through the water cycle, and stays in it for up to 9 days. Hence, .005% of the earth’s total water supply move through the cycle at a given time. Eventually, it falls, and can splurge anywhere from at least 40 years (usually in a glacier), up to maximum of 40,000 years (mostly in the ocean) then disappearing back into the hydrologic cycle. Nevertheless, water is very essential for human, animal, plants, and other living creatures on earth. The water itself makes the earth come alive. And the human body is partly composed of and uses up 65% of water in order to function well and survive.
