• Continuous resources

Water vapour that cools down and changes to become tiny drops of water. We see this as clouds.

• Runoff

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Infiltration

• Condensation

Wet air is forced to rise into cooler areas of the atmosphere and tiny drops join and become heavier. This is seen as snow, rain and hail.

When water on the ground soaks into soil, plants can then take this in through their roots.

• Runoff

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Infiltration

• Condensation

Sun heats the water in oceans, lakes and rivers and turns it into a gas called water vapour. Water vapour then rises into the air.

Groundwater that is locked underground

• Bores

• Evaporation

• Aquifers

• Floodplains and Deltas

The process of drawing groundwater to the surface by drilling into the ground

• Bores

• Evaporation

• Aquifers

• Floodplains and Deltas

These are located, generally, on flat ground where rivers meet the sea and have particularly rich soil.
