💧The water cycle is more than just evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Add runoff, transpiration, infiltration—and that’s still not all! Hydrology gets deep—literally. #WaterCycle #Hydrology @reedh2o.bsky.social

💧 #FunFactFriday 💧 Some deep-rooted plants survive dry seasons by sipping straight from the water table, even sharing water with shallow-rooted neighbors along the way! 🌱💧 Know any deep-rooted species near you? 👇 #WaterFacts #Hydrology @reedh2o.bsky.social

What’s an aquifer? It’s layers of rock or sediment that hold and move water underground —like a hidden reservoir beneath our feet. We demo this with both a physical & virtual model for outreach events. Curious? Ask us more! #Groundwater #Hydrology @reedh2o.bsky.social

We were grateful to host 2 interns this summer through HMEI’s Environmental Internship program! 🎉 They joined 100+ Princeton students last Friday to present their summer work at the Summer of Learning Symposium. Congrats to all! @reedh2o.bsky.social
