There are many routes through the water cycle. If a drop of water falls on a hot tin roof it evaporates almost immediately and is set to start all over again. Other drops may soak into the ground and evaporate or be taken up by plants to transpire into the air over the course of days or weeks. Still other drops may flow into rives or lakes or oceans where the time to evaporation is years to hundreds of years. Water falling as snow onto glaciers and the antarctic may be tied up as ice for thousands of years, water seeping into deep underground reservoirs may be there as long as 10,000 years.
