Once precipitations arrive to the ground surface they either infiltrate or generate runoff. We first state how they infiltrate and, actually how water behave in the soil and in the ground. We talk about the complexity of the Earth surface that contains life and call it, the Critical Zone. To study infiltration we introduce the Darcy and Richards equations of which we explain the characteristics.

The carbon cycle is intrinsically and fundamentally intertwined with both hydrological and climate cycles, forming an interconnected web of Earth system processes that operate across multiple temporal and spatial scales. While carbon dynamics were historically studied as a separate discipline from hydrology and meteorology, this artificial separation has dissolved as hydrology and meteorology have evolved into a comprehensive Earth System Science that recognizes the profound interconnectedness of all planetary processes. The integration of carbon cycle studies with hydrology represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of how Earth's systems function. Water serves as the primary medium through which carbon moves between the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere, while carbon dynamics simultaneously influence water availability, quality, and distribution patterns. This bidirectional relationship creates a complex network of feedbacks that are not merely numerous, but virtually countless in their manifestations and interactions.
