Land Use and The Water Cycle Virtual Lab
In this virtual lab, students will use the Runoff Simulation, created by Stroud Water Research Center, to determine how land cover and soil type can influence the movement of water. Students will first review the water cycle and the concept that when precipitation falls to the Earth's surface, it can then undergo three processes: 1) evapotranspiration 2) infiltration or 3) runoff. They will then use the simulation to make adjustments to land cover and soil type to better understand how these tw
