Day 6 Water Cycle in the Australian Savanna



                               



The interesting part of the Australian Savanna is that instead of the evaporation coming from the rivers, most of the evaporation comes from the trees in this enviroment which is called transpiration. The precipitation is different too, cause as you can see in the picture, this area receives 1720 millimeters. Then of course the runoff from the precipitation seeps through the grounds which is called percolation, and also in the rivers, for example the Howard river. Then as the ground receives water through percolation, it causes a wet season water table, which thus causes the bend by the Howard River. Then lastly, the groundwater collects in the groundwater surplus, and is used later on when the enviroment needs the moisture if it ever becomes too dry.
