How Much Water Do We Use?

Back to Search Results

This short film presents the one of the basic concepts of a hydrologic cycle, a water budget. How much water is there? Where it is and how does it move. For example, how does land use effect the input and outputs of water to a watershed. Water carries chemicals and sediments, understanding where water is and how it moves is also important for understanding chemical cycles.
