Forests and the Circulation of Water
Author: Huang, Zhao Ru

 

        Interrelationship between water circulation and forests is very deeply. Before introducing their interrelationship, first of all, we have to know the basic concept of the circulation of water. After the rainwater drips down into the soil slowly, some of the rainwater will be absorbed by trees. Others would ooze into the soil, becoming the groundwater. The others will evaporate. And the vapor can congeal itself into the form of the cloud, which contains many small water drops. Finally, when the cloud is too heavy, those small drops will drop down, and finish the last part of the water circulation. Because trees have functions of storing the water, trees play a very essential role in water circulation. In other words, there wouldn’t be a perfect circulation of water without forests’ storing.

        If we want to keep an ideal water circulation, we should take good care of it as cautious as possible. As long as we try not to damage the forest, the water circulation could maintain its intact state. Somehow, it’s pathetically to say that there is still someone who destroys it on purpose. Forests are everyone’s shared property. And there is no one legally enforced the power to spoil it mercilessly. If every one of us wants to destroy it, there would be no forests left. And the worse, there would be no fresh air and complete water circulation left as well. The relationship between forest and the circulation of water would never be changed, unless someone destroys it deliberately. Otherwise, it would never change. Thus, we should keep the natural circulation of water watchfully. So long as one doesn’t destroy it, it then can keep its natural form and state completely. Moreover, the forest is as significant as the circulation of water. Anyway, what people should do is to concern about the protection for both of them. Even though the water circulation is very important, few people will truly pay attention on it, and cherish it. For example, they shouldn’t cut down trees in the forest unlimitedly, waste water, or throw the rubbish in the forest casually. These are very essential things, but no one really pay attention on them. It’s our duty to protect and appreciate our mother earth as watchful as possible. If not, we won’t have enough pure water to drink. Although my single power is incapable to solve all pollution, I try my best to accomplish this goal. I firmly believe that if everyone follows my step and takes me as his example, we can handle the problem we face very well. At least, I’ll do my best to be a good model for everyone.
