Overall

, in both places, the cycle of

water

has six main stages: precipitation, infiltration, base-flowing, runoff, transpiration and

finally

evaporation.

To begin

with,

water

starts to fall from the sky,

this

is the precipitation.

Subsequently

, the

water

dropped starts to infiltrate the ground. In a forest environment, the

water

goes through two main layers the permeable topsoil and the less permeable subsoil on the rock. Notably, the infiltration in urban

areas

is reduced

as well as

the baseflow. The baseflow is the third stage of

this

process, during which the

water

goes through the

table and reaches the baseflow, which in urban

areas

increases erosion. In these

areas

, there is

also

an increase in polluted runoff compared to the more green

areas

.

Then

there is the transpiration of the

water

and

lastly

the evaporation, both of these two stages are reduced in urban

areas

. After the evaporation

goes up again, in

way, we can have other precipitation and the

cycle can start all over again.
