The Water Cycle is
Nature’s way for recycling water. The water in the
Pacific ocean is heated by the sun which turns water
into vapor. The vapor floats into the air and forms
clouds and fog. When atmospheric conditions are right,
the clouds will release water in the form of rain or
snow depending upon air temperature. The rain and
melting snow will run into Jameson Lake and Cachuma
Lake. As water finds its way back to the ocean,
underground reservoirs or groundwater basins,
including the District water wells, are filled.
