Name one process in the hydrological cycle that is an input.

Which of these processes is an output in the water budget? (You can pick more than one option)

• Surface runoff

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Groundwater

When input is more than output, this leads the water budget into a __________

Which input(s) will most likely lead to a water surplus? (You can pick more than one option)

• Groundwater

• Intense storm

• Heavy rain

• Light rain

What type of flood is this most likely to be?

• River flood

• Flash flood

A water deficit occurs when outputs such as ____________ is higher than its inputs. (You can pick more than one option)
