The Water Cycle

Question 3 • OK-Environmental Science A

Which of the following is a possible water cycle involving humans?

Answer
A
precipitation (rain), person, wastewater, clouds, precipitation (rain)
B
lakes, person, atmosphere, clouds, lakes
C
industry, runoff, reservoir, person, wastewater, aquifer, well, industry
D
reservoir, person, atmosphere, precipitation (rain), reservoir

Explanation

Water can move from a reservoir to a person when people drink or use its water. Some water then returns to the atmosphere through breathing and evaporation, forms clouds, and falls as precipitation that can flow back into the reservoir. This makes “reservoir, person, atmosphere, precipitation, reservoir” a possible cycle involving humans.
