The Water Cycle And Water Insecurity Exam Style Questions And Answers Describe how deforestation is affecting the Amazon basin - The amount of water  returning to the atmosphere by evapotranspiration is greatly reduced — from  75% to 25% of intercepted water. More precipitation enters the river by runoff.  Overland flow increases the amount of soil erosion. Huge quantities of soil are  entering the rivers and causing extensive silting. Mudslides are increasing in  frequency and sc...

Unit 25: Water Quality Delivery guidance Water is essential for all life on the planet, whether plant, animal or human. Learners will be aware that access to water depends on the hydrological (water) cycle, in which water is constantly coming into contact with the air and the earth. As a consequence, the water we use in our everyday life is never pure: biological, chemical and physical materials are dissolved in it and/or carried by the flow. Issues with water quality can cause serious...
