Greetings ..!
Water cycle is the process of transfer or cycling of water from earth's surface(in forms of rivers,pond,seas,oceans etc ) to atmosphere(as clouds) and back to earth in form of precipitation(rainfall,snowfall,hail etc ) .
The water from the water bodies get evaporated(or simply heated up) and transform into vapour form . Also , the waters present in leaves of plants get transpirated(heated up and transformed into vapour) and collect in atmosphere.
The water droplets collect together and form clouds and when they get heavy they fall back in earth in form of precipitation ( rainfall, snowfall , hail) .
Thus, we observe that water harvesting which is an artificial process in not completely involved in water cycle .
Answer : Option (3) Water Harvesting is is not a step involved in water cycle.
