Water is recycled(循环) between the earth, the air, rivers, lakes, seas, and living things. We call the process(过程) the water cycle.
Rivers are important in the water cycle. They collect water from precipitation and move it back to the seas. Rivers are also very important to our life, giving us drinking water and irrigation(灌溉) water, helping produce electricity, and allowing us to transport things by water. These are some of the reasons that many cities in the world were next to a big river—Rome is on the Tiber, Paris on the Seine, London on the Thames, Cairo on the Nile, and New York City on the Hudson.
Do you know why people build dams(水坝) across rivers? Dams help stop water running over rivers, and people also use water to produce power(发电). When people build a dam, the river can run through the dam to join the river below. People can use water to grow crops.
