The Hydrology Cycle by Kelsey

Water travels in an endless cycle between sea, sky and land. It is the only thing that can change into solid, liquid or gas.
Water can become lots of different things but whenever it changes it is still water. First a GLASS OF WATER is drunk from the tap, second you either PERSPIRE or go to the TOILET, from there the LIQUID goes through SEWERAGE PIPES and a treatment station. Then it makes its way into the ocean, where the sun EVAPORATES the water and it turns into a GAS. Next it CONDENSES into CLOUDS and when the clouds become saturated we get PRECIPITATION (it rains) (liquid). Then the rain FREEZES into ice on the top of mountains and melts and RUNS OFF into lakes, rivers or AQUIFIER. From here it is cleaned, filtered and treated and then pumped via pipes to our taps and into your glass (YUM).
Without water we would be a lifeless planet so we need to STOP Global Warming, STOP polluting our water and we need to save our water. So next time you go to get a glass of water, just think what an amazing journey that water has been on.
