Groundwater in the Water Cycle

Where does rainwater go when it soaks into the ground? Why do puddles disappear on a sunny day? What makes water clean or dirty? Explore these questions and more with hands-on science activities you can do in your kitchen at home! For curious kids and teachers alike, this book helps you follow along through the many fascinating paths that water takes as it journeys across a landscape. You will learn about how human activities affect the water cycle and even how changes in the climate translate to changes in the water cycle where you live. Each hands-on activity is linked to pages explaining the scientific processes at play behind the scenes, and to examples of how they take place in the real world. Written by three hydrogeologists, the text presents up-to-date scientific concepts in easy-to-read wording. Lush full-color illustrations created specifically for this book help make complex ideas accessible and engaging.
