The hydrological cycle

Description

An illustrated explanation of the hydrological cycle, introducing key terms.

Classroom Ideas

Use the key terms featured in a river basin case study. Consider the effect of seasonal differences in rainfall and relate this to changes in river levels and risk of flooding. Students could consider what effect changing land use, such as increased urbanisation and removal of vegetation, has on the types of flow and storage that occur.
