In this lesson, you will discover how the water cycle works, a natural process that is essential for understanding the origin and evolution of water flows encountered in canyoning. You will learn how water continuously circulates between the atmosphere, oceans, glaciers, groundwater, and rivers through the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, and runoff. Understanding these mechanisms will help you better anticipate the hydrological conditions of a canyon and develop a safer, more informed approach to aquatic environments.
