NASA's Earth Observatory, one of the great treasures of the internet and proof, as if it were needed, that government can do some wonderful things, has just published a web page closely related to our 29 September discussions on the earth's climate and the hydrologic cycle. The Water Cycle discusses climate and the cycling of water and has some excellent illustrations to support the discussion. If ours were an undergraduate class for university credit, I would assign that web page as required reading (viewing?). While ours is not a course for credit, I very strongly urge you to look at The Water Cycle for it reiterates some of what I said and provides some additional information related to our course on world water supply and more importantly, material useful in developing an understanding of the world's water situation..
