Reagan Olsen · Answer 1

A number of human activities can impact on the water cycle: damming rivers for hydroelectricity, using water for farming, deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.

Ruffles · Answer 2

Human activity such as the burning of fossil fuels has an effect on the overall increase of the Earth's temperature. Raising the Earth's temperature may mean that there is an increase of evaporation, melting of ice or other processes of the water cycle that adversely affect the climate on Earth.
