What is a key part of the water cycle?
Infiltration
when rain hits the surface, what can't infiltrate runs off instead
What can affect infiltration? 
farming practices
what ways can farming practices affect infiltration?
Ploughing
Crops
Livestock
Irrigation
How does ploughing affect infiltration? 
It breaks up the surface so that more water can infiltrate, reducing amount of runoff
How do crops affect infiltration?
Increase infiltration and interception compared to bare ground = reduces runoff. Evapotranspiration also increases, which can increase rainfall
How does livestock affect infiltration?
Trample and compact the soil, decreasing infiltration and increasing runoff
example of livestock? 
cattle
How does irrigation affect infiltration?
can increase runoff if some of the water cannot infiltrate. groundwater or river levels can fall if water is extracted for irrigation
Describe irrigation? 
Artificially watering the land
