Man is the one biological factor that can either make environment fit his needs or unknowingly ruin it. The major phases of the hydrologic cycle, in which man can interfere are: precipitation, storage and evaporation. A change m any one phase will generally cause modification to the other phases of the cycle: the only certainity is that the water balance will indeed balance.
