Hydrologic (Water) Cycle
Transpiration – plants releasing water into the air. Infiltration- downward movement of water into the ground. Runoff – precipitation that doesn’t evaporate, transpire or infiltrate the ground. Percolation –filtering down through the soil. Throughflow – water that percolates into the ground but returns to the surface before entering another body of water.
