• Inputs to the hydrological cycle

  • Precipitation (rain and snow)
• Storage in the hydrological cycle

  • Water vapour in the atmosphere
  • Rainwater intercepted by vegetation
  • Surface storage (puddles, lakes)
  • Soil infiltration
  • Groundwater storage
• Transfers in the hydrological cycle

  • Advection (movement of clouds/water vapour inland)
  • Overland flow
• Outputs from the hydrological cycle
