Earth water cycle

That's the pattern of humanity over the last 10,000 years.

And so the water cycles that we come in and repair as a company is mimicking what would have existed 10,000 years ago when you had an intact ecosystem.

There were something like 400 million beavers living in North America before Europeans showed up.

There was enough water stored behind beaver dams to cover Arizona and New Mexico entirely with a foot of water if you aggregated it into one area.

And so we've systematically broken those water cycles.

We killed all the beavers or most of them.

And then we turn perennial grasslands and forest lands into corn, wheat, and soy, call them cash crops now.

The cold, dark summer of eighteen sixteen is said to have inspired Mary Shelley to write Frankenstein while she was staying indoors near Lake Geneva, kept inside by the relentless rain and gloom.

Snow plays a crucial role in the water cycle by acting as a natural reservoir that stores water during winter and releases it slowly during spring melt.

In many parts of the western United States, the majority of the annual water supply comes from snowmelt rather than direct rainfall.

The snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, Cascade Range, and Rocky Mountains feeds rivers, reservoirs, and aquifers that supply water to millions of people and vast agricultural regions.

The Martian polar ice caps are made of a combination of water ice and carbon dioxide ice, and they grow and shrink with the seasons.

On Titan, Saturn's largest moon, it is believed that hydrocarbon snow, possibly consisting of frozen methane or ethane, may fall from the moon's thick atmosphere.

Titan has a complete methane cycle similar to Earth's water cycle, with methane rain, rivers, lakes, and possibly snow, all at temperatures around minus one hundred and eighty degrees Celsius, where methane behaves much as water does here.

On Triton, Neptune's largest moon, geysers erupt nitrogen gas and dark particles that settle back onto the surface as a type of nitrogen snow.
