But first we have to know what the water cycle is.
The water cycle is a very important thing in life. Without the water cycle life wont be able to be sustained. The water cycle has been going on for such along time that you could probably be drinking dinosaur wee right now or in your next drink. But how does it work? The water cycle first starts by evaporation. Evaporation is when water in the ocean or lake and even your cup out side is taken up by the heat of the sun. The next part of the process will be condensation. Condensation is when the water will turn into clouds and store all the water. After that it will the rain which is called precipitation. When it rains it will then go into run off from mountains or hills that lead to the ocean. It could also turn into infiltration which will be ground water. There are also more ways of evaporation like transpiration which is when water from trees and bushes gets evaporated from their roots. So that is all you really need to know to understand how we can affect the water cycle and grey water cycling.
Grey water recycling.
Grey water recycling is great way to save water and to avoid being wasteful. Grey water recycling works by reducing the amount of water being turned into waste water which just goes to waste and not really used by humans. For example. The water for a toilet doesn’t necessarily need to be clean. So what the grey water recycling will do is that he water from the shower will be used as toilet water or the water will be used to water the plants and grass. This is useful for the water cycle because it is wasting less water that can be used for better things such as drinking.
How humans affect the water cycle.
Humans are affecting the water cycle as you read this. This could be because of chopping down trees and more. But how do cutting down trees affect the water cycle? This is because trees can help with infiltration which is ground water. Trees help with this because their roots will absorb that water. Trees also give transpiration which is water being evaporated from trees and plants. Cutting down trees will prevent this from happening. Another affect is urbanization. Urbanization is where people have civilized or have created buildings. Urban runoff can affect the water cycle because of the amount of dirt an dumped that gets dumped out in to the ocean. Another way of how humans affect the water cycle is by agriculture. This affects the water cycle because of the water needed to provide and produce the food for the farmers to get money. This can waste a lot of money. And those are some ways of how humans can affect th =e water cycle.
