The digaram illustrates the process of water cycle in nature.

There are three main stages in this process, beginning with the evaporation of
water and the formation of a cloud. The next step shows the fall of water in the
surface of Earth and the process ends with salt water intrusion.
Beginning at the evaporation stage, 80% of water vapour in the air comes
from the oceans. Heat from the sun causes water to evaporate and water vapour
condenses to form clouds. In the next stage, the heavy clouds cause rain or snow.

Water from the precipitation partly pours into the lakes or can be absorbed
into the ground. Rainwater may filter through the ground, reaching the impervious
layer of the earth. The final stage of the process is the salt water intrusion where
water from the ocean moves to the freshwater aquifers.
