From Albanian to Yoruba, the Water Science School has schools and kids all around the world covered. Volunteers from around the globe have provided us with a water cycle diagram just for schools and kids in over 35 languages.

Precipitation and the Water Cycle
Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. Precipitation is the main way atmospheric water returns to the surface of the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain.
Streamflow and the Water Cycle
What is streamflow? How do streams get their water? To learn about streamflow and its role in the water cycle, continue reading.
Snowmelt Runoff and the Water Cycle
Perhaps you've never seen snow. Or, perhaps you built a snowman this very afternoon and perhaps you saw your snowman begin to melt. Regardless of your experience with snow and associated snowmelt, runoff from snowmelt is an important component of the global movement of water, possibly even if you live where it never snows. Note: This section of the Water Science School discusses the Earth's...
Evaporation and the Water Cycle
Evaporation is the process that changes liquid water to gaseous water (water vapor). Water moves from the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere via evaporation.
The Atmosphere and the Water Cycle
The atmosphere is the superhighway in the sky that moves water everywhere over the Earth. Water at the Earth's surface evaporates into water vapor, then rises up into the sky to become part of a cloud which will float off with the winds, eventually releasing water back to Earth as precipitation.
Surface Runoff and the Water Cycle
When water "runs off" the land surface, that’s runoff! Due to gravity, the water you wash your car with runs down the driveway as you work, and rain runs downhill. Runoff is an important component of the water cycle.
Sublimation and the Water Cycle
Solid, liquid, and gas - the three states of water. We see water freeze, transforming into a solid form such as ice, and we see water evaporate, turning into gas, but... have you ever seen ice transform directly to gas? This process is called sublimation and you can read all about it below.
Springs and the Water Cycle
A spring is a place where water moving underground finds an opening to the land surface and emerges, sometimes as just a trickle, maybe only after a rain, and sometimes in a continuous flow. Spring water can also emerge from heated rock underground, giving rise to hot springs.
Infiltration and the Water Cycle
You can't see it, but a large portion of the world's freshwater lies underground. It may all start as precipitation, but through infiltration and seepage, water soaks into the ground in vast amounts. Water in the ground keeps all plant life alive and serves peoples' needs, too.
Condensation and the Water Cycle
Condensation is the process of gaseous water (water vapor) turning into liquid water. Have you ever seen water on the outside of a cold glass on a humid day? That’s condensation.
Ice, Snow, and Glaciers and the Water Cycle
The water stored in ice and glaciers moves slowly through are part of the water cycle, even though the water in them moves very slowly. Did you know? Ice caps influence the weather, too. The color white reflects sunlight (heat) more than darker colors, and as ice is so white, sunlight is reflected back out to the sky, which helps to create weather patterns.
Interactive Water Cycle Diagrams for Kids
Our interactive diagrams allow you to "mouse around" the parts of the water cycle and view explanations, pictures, and more.

Vous pouvez penser que chaque goutte de pluie qui tombe du ciel, ou chaque verre d'eau que vous buvez, est tout nouveau, mais, en fait, il a toujours été là et fait partie du cycle de l'eau.
