Hydrological Cycle of Groundwater in High Mountains

Hydrological Cycle of Groundwater in High Mountains

1. Aquifer Recharge:: - Infiltrated water seeps into underground aquifers - Recharge of aquifers in areas of high permeability

2. - Infiltration: - Precipitation (snow, rain) - Infiltration into soil and rock

3. Storage: - Groundwater is stored in aquifers and storage areas - Storage influenced by porosity, permeability and storage capacity

4. Discharge - Groundwater is discharged to the surface as springs, rivers and lakes - Discharge influenced by hydraulic gradients, topography and water demand

5. Evapotranspiration - Groundwater is evapotranspirated through plants and soil - Evapotranspiration influenced by climate, vegetation and soil

6. Retorno a la Atmósfera - Agua subterránea se evapora y retorna a la atmósfera - Retorno influenciado por temperatura, humedad y viento

7. Underground Flow: - Groundwater flows through aquifers - Flow influenced by topography, geology and hydraulic gradients
