The image depicts the water cycle with various components labeled; starting with Snow on a mountain that leads to Surface Runoff into Lakes which contribute to Groundwater beneath an Impervious Layer, on the left side of the image. The Ocean is shown with Salt Water Intrusion arrow directed towards the land on the bottom right, and an Evaporation process occurs where the Ocean contributes about 80% of total water vapor in the air. In the middle top, Condensing Water Vapor is illustrated with arrows pointing towards Cloud Formation, which then leads to Precipitation shown with arrow lines going downwards.
Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

The picture illustrates the way in which water passes from ocean to air to land during the natural process known as the water cycle.
Three main stages are shown on the diagram. Ocean water evaporates, falls as rain, and eventually runs back into the oceans again.
Beginning at the evaporation stage, we can see that 80% of water vapour in the air comes from the oceans. Heat from the sun causes water to evaporate, and water vapour condenses to form clouds. At the second stage, labelled ‘precipitation’ on the diagram, water falls as rain or snow.
At the third stage in the cycle, rainwater may take various paths. Some of it may fall into lakes or return to the oceans via ‘surface runoff’. Otherwise, rainwater may filter through the ground, reaching the impervious layer of the earth. Salt water intrusion is shown to take place just before groundwater passes into the oceans to complete the cycle.
