Water Cycles
The water or hydrological cycle refers to how water evaporates from the earth surface, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain in clouds and falls again to the surface as precipitation.
With the increasing incidence of serious flooding and drought, the water abilities at a specific time and space will grow increasingly unpredictable said Dr Mohd Yusoff a senior lecturer at Universiti Putra Malaysia Faculty of Environmental Studies.
