The water you drink today may once have fallen as rain thousands of miles away. Explore the incredible journey water takes as it moves between the oceans, land, atmosphere, and living things. Watch the BBC videos below, then take the Kahoot and follow every step of the water cycle.
Discover how the same water has been traveling around Earth for billions of years. From evaporation and condensation to precipitation and runoff, discover how water is continuously recycled around the planet and why this process is essential for life on Earth.
In Bombay Beach and the Salton Sea Crisis, host Simon Reeve takes you to Bombay Beach, a once-glamorous hot spot by California’s largest lake, the Salton Sea. Originally formed by accident when a canal burst, the area became a booming resort. Now, it’s saturated with pesticides and drying up, leaving behind toxic dust — a stark reminder of how human actions can wreak havoc on the environment. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Americas With Simon Reeve, in which Simon Reeve explores the landscapes, cultures, and wildlife of North and South America.
