Why forest loss is making our watersheds leak rain The way we manage forests can undermine their ability to retain water, leading to excess runoff.

Third-grade students’ mental models, concept maps, and self-evaluation of evaporation: Examining model-based reasoning and instruction across classrooms All Earth’s major systems involve hydrologic processes. Water is also a unifying theme across the biological, geological, physical, and chemical sciences. Therefore, knowledge of water is crucial a...

Understanding Rivers A river is a large, natural stream of flowing water. Rivers are found on every continent and on nearly every kind of land.

While World Rivers Day not until September, always worth understanding how important rivers are to humanity.

We want to share a new series developed by our partners: 📚the CIRSEAUpedia. 💧 Water-related concepts for everyone to learn new words or remember others. Don't forget to take notes! 📝

💡Did you know that hydrological cycle and #watercycle are synonymous?

Enjoy your weekend and stay water-smart! ♻️

Combining #EarthSystemModels with river data from 50 basins, allowed for refined global #WaterCycle estimates: river flow and flow-to-precipitation ratios are lower than thought, #GlobalWarming may raise flow by ~7.8 mm/yr per °C.

What is the global water cycle and how is it amplifying climate disasters? Behind flood and bushfire disasters is a less visible influence: changes in the planet’s water cycle. Rainfall and temperature shifts are amplifying climate change.

[1/8] Albert Van Dijk (Australian National University) analyse comment le cycle global de l’eau est profondément perturbé par le réchauffement climatique. Il montre que cette dynamique amplifie simultanément inondations, sécheresses et vagues de chaleur. #geography #adaptation #watercycle #risks

#TrickleDown is simply upside-down. It's like the #WaterCycle.
A billion tiny streams feed 5 enormous oceans.
(And it's the streams that feed the economy, water the crops etc., not the oceans.)
