Precipitation is rain (or snow etc) falling from the clouds. When it lands it becomes surface water in rivers, lakes and oceans. If it seeps into the earth it becomes groundwater, usually in aquifers.
A hailstorm is when the precipitation is composed of ice lumps. An ice storm is when the precipitation is freezing rain. The water stays liquid until when it hits the ground, and freezes where it hits.
This is the water cycle on the Earth.
The movement of water between the ground and the atmosphere is called the water cycle. This includes processes such as evaporation, condensation, and precipitation that cycle water between Earth's surface and the atmosphere.
the difference between fresh water and potable water is fresh water can come form the ground, and/or, ice burgs.
precipitation as in rain, snow, hail, etc
When water falls to the ground, it is called precipitation, which can take the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Rainfall refers to the precipitation of water droplets from the atmosphere to the ground. Runoff, on the other hand, is the movement of excess water on the ground surface due to factors like saturation or impermeable surfaces. Essentially, runoff is the flow of water that occurs after rainfall.
precipitation is the water that soaks downward due to the ground trickles

harvesting is on ground and fishing is in water
It returns atmospheric water back to the ground. Without precipitation there would be no water cycle, all the water would run down the rivers and into the seas then the rivers would dry up with no fresh water from precipitation.
