The water cycle, a fundamental process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, plays a crucial role in climate regulation by distributing heat and maintaining atmospheric moisture levels. This ecosystem service supports diverse life forms, sustains agricultural systems, and moderates global temperatures. Many cultures and spiritual traditions revere water as sacred, celebrating its life-giving properties through rituals and symbols of purity and renewal. However, the water cycle faces threats from climate change, deforestation, and pollution, which disrupt its natural patterns, leading to extreme weather events, altered precipitation, and freshwater scarcity.
