What natural processes help to create and replenish water bodies in our world?
Answers
Groundwater replenishment happens through direct recharge and in-lieu recharge. Water used for direct recharge most often comes from flood flows, water conservation, recycled water, desalination and water transfers.
During the hydrologic cycle, replenishment occurs naturally when rain, stormwater and the flow from rivers, streams and creeks seeps into an aquifer. Water also gets into the ground as farmers irrigate fields and orchards. Replenishment within the context of groundwater management is accomplished through recharge at rate that exceeds natural conditions, maintaining or improving groundwater elevation levels. Two recharge methods are used: direct spreading and aquifer injection.
The water cycle is a natural process that create and replenish water bodies.
Explanation:
- The hydrological cycle or the water cycle is a natural process of the movement of the water on earth in a cyclic manner and it remains constant over time and replenishes the major reservoirs as ice, freshwater, and saline water, and groundwater, atmospheric water.
- This involves the exchange of energy that leads to the temperature variations and the process of evaporation cools environment and the process of condensation releases and warms up the environment influencing climate.
- This cycle also gives shape to the geologic structures and flow of liquid water and ice transportation of minerals across the globe by the process of erosion and sedimentation.
- The water that percolates down through the action of gravity gets filtered and purified and adds to the groundwater recharge capacity. Which flows as subsurface water and meets the oceanic waters.
