EVAPORATION

The main thing is to present it as a CYCLE

That means every place with water has at least one arrow coming in and one arrow going out!

ICE

"All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full: unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. (Ecclesiastes 1:7).

(This is supposed to have been written by King Solomon, who was considered very wise.)
