Considering just how vital water is to life, it is safe to say that humans play a very significant role in the water cycle, therefore, it’s safe to say that human activity also heavily impacts the water cycle too. We often use the resources of our planet wildly and without thinking about the possible repercussions this might have on us and the planet in the future.

The pollution from all this production has greatly impacted the water cycle. An example of how this pollution affect the water cycle is the formation of acid rain. Acid rain is when pollutants in the air get dissolved in water droplets making them corrosive and hazardous to the touch. This acid rain damages crops and forests and also harms us, humans, too. Groundwater also becomes much polluted by mixing with the acid rain.

So every time I use a product created from plastics or produced with water,
