When there is precipitation, rain water mainly goes to three places
50% Absorbed to the ground. 40% Evaporation **10% Runs off. **
If there is rain on already existing bodies of waters (ie rivers) **It will just be hundred precent absorbed in to the water and combined in to the same body of water. **
**
When the evnviroment is in a freezing environment, the rain water will freeze, and repeat its process of absorption and evaporation again once it melts. **
well there are three reasons it drains into rivers, streams, etc. or it seeps into soil and gather underground as ground-water or falls into high mountains and freeze and in the summer it will melt and flows into the rivers
Rainwater that falls on land can infiltrate into the ground, contributing to groundwater recharge, or it may run off into water bodies. Some of the water is absorbed by plants and returned to the atmosphere through transpiration, while some may evaporate immediately. This process helps recycle water in the ecosystem.
