Water Cycle Protocol Bundle

Water, an essential component to life on Earth, continuously circulates through one of the planet's most powerful systems: the water cycle. Water flows endlessly between the ocean, atmosphere, and land, frequently changing forms as it moves between these domains.

Furthermore, the water on Earth is a finite, fixed quantity. This means that the amount of water in, on, and above our planet doesn't increase or decrease.

Studying the Water Cycle

DNASA studies the water cycle with a variety of techniques. Researchers studying the water cycle use satellites, airborne campaigns, and ground-based measurements to collect data and learn more about how water circulates through our planet's various systems. This data is used in many real world applications to answer vital questions essential to our survival on this amazing “water planet.” The contributions from GLOBE scientists, teachers, and students are important elements supporting this effort, and directly help us become better stewards for the water in our environment.
