Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary. The amount of atmospheric moisture is very small in many areas, and
it is difficult to control where any precipitation produced will fall. The cost of recovering
this water in most areas would exceed the waters value. Methods might include
harvesting precipitation, increasing precipitation (cloud seeding, etc.), capturing water
vapor through condensation, etc.



Answer to Question 2

Water leaves the atmosphere by condensation (dew), sublimation (frost), and
precipitation (rain, snow, etc.).
