Water, Water Everywhere!!!!!
The concept of the water cycle has ancient roots, with evidence of its understanding dating back thousands of years. Early observations of the cycle, particularly the movement of water between the land, oceans, and atmosphere, can be traced to ancient civilizations. While the basic principle was recognized early on, the scientific understanding of the water cycle, including its mechanics and the role of different phases of water, developed over centuries, with significant contributions from scientists like Bernard Palissy and Pierre Perrault.
