How is the water we drink connected to our rivers, oceans, glaciers, and rain?

All the water on earth is connected. Sooner or later it all goes into the ocean, gets evaporated into the air, comes back down as rain or snow, making rivers, lakes, glaciers, and soaking into the ground. When we drink it, it goes through our bodies and back to the rivers and then the ocean. This has been going on since the oceans were formed. It's all the same water. The water that you drink today may have been drunk and pi$$ed away by a dinosaur.

From Ocean, sea water evaporates due to sun light heat and goes up and forms as Clouds. Than the Clouds become cool and down pour all the water. This we call it RAIN. The Rain water runs down to River, mostly all the River water collected in Reservoir is supplied to formers for agriculture and people for drinking. Drinking water is purified. Glaciers accumulate huge Ice. In summer the Ice melts and runs down to a river. Glacier water is rich in Mineral. Some companies after cleaning it puts them in a bottle and sell them to public as Mineral Water.

It's connected to our claciers because some bottled water comes from glaciers. River water is filtered sometimes to give us water and rain contributes into the rivers, oceans, and glaciers.

It's brought by clouds, filtered and fallen with snow, desalted from the ocean. Water is everywhere and it goes cyclic. Probably me and you drank the same water! But unfortunally the pure drinking water is hard to find and it's getting worse and worse

It matters where you live. Most places use ground water that is treated in a water treatment facility. Well I would say that moisture builds up because of evaporation. Then condensation occurs. Then rain falls.
