What comes after runoff in the water cycle?
After precipitation, rain comes. It reaches the earth's surface.
What is the relationship between groundwater and the hydro logic cycle?
groundwater is dependent on the hydro-logic cycle. Water seeps to the surface and until it reaches an impermeable stratum. it then collects and can be drilled for use. If this cycle is broken the water table decreases.
What is the name when magma reaches the surface?
Magma is liquid rock before it reaches the surface magma which reaches the surface is called lava.
Where on earths surface does most most precipitation fall?
Where on earth surface does most precipitation fall
What magma is called when it reaches the surface?
Magma that reaches the Earth's surface is known as lava.
What approaches can be employed to reduce evaporation in a watershed?
The water in a watershed originates via precipitation that is collected on the surface and groundwater. However, it is important to note that not all precipitation falling in an area exits the watershed. Some of it is lost through evaporation and transpiration, some is used by people and some soaks into the soil and groundwater.<a href="http://career-options.in/">Career Options</a>
What is the interaction between surface water and groundwater in a watershed?
Surface water collects in a watershed and seeps into the ground
What is the relationship between surface water groundwater and a watershed?
i think that when the water reaches the surface, it dissolves into the ground which is called infiltration (the movement of water through soil) which then flows down from the tiny spaces in the bedrock and then it forms into a ground water, which is then released into and ocean or a lake.
What happens to the most of the precipitation that falls to Earth's surface?
Seeps into the ground and becomes groundwater.
How are aquifers groundwater and watersheds impacted by drought?
During a drought, the reduced precipitation leads to decreased recharge of aquifers and groundwater levels decline. This can impact water availability for agriculture, drinking water supplies, and ecosystems that rely on groundwater. Watersheds are also affected as reduced surface water flow and in some cases disturbances in streamflow can occur, impacting the overall health of the watershed ecosystem.
What has the author Keith N Eshleman written?
Keith N. Eshleman has written: 'Interactions between surface water and groundwater in a Virginia coastal plain watershed' -- subject(s): Groundwater, Runoff
How would you describe precipitation?
any form of water that falls from the clouds and reaches earth surface
Is groundwater water that runs along Earth's surface.?
It is water that is kept in a pocket down inside earth and if a part of it reaches the surface, it becomes a spring.

What is a groundwater system?
"Groundwater flow is the movement of water that travels and seeps through soil and rock underground. Stored in cavities and geologic pores of the earth's crust, confined groundwater is under a great deal of pressure. Its upper part is lower than the material in which it is confined. Unconfined groundwater is the term for an aquifer with an exposed water surface."
What drains a water shed?
Water leaves a watershed by natural surface run-off (streams and rivers) artificial drainage (ditches and tile drains) and by percolation into groundwater aquifers.
What is the. Interaction between surface water in a watershed?
Surface water collects in a watershed and seeps into ground
