Precipitation

It’s raining, it’s pouring,

    The old man’s snoring.

He got into bed

    And bumped his head

And couldn’t get up in the morning.(by MotherGoose)

Some say raining, some say rainfall, others say rainwater, then what is precipitation?

Either what word it is, this is very valuable source more than gold in your hand...

          In general rain is the water in the skies comes down to Earth, where it fills our lakes and rivers, recharges the underground aquifers, and provides drinks to plants and animals.It is created a renewable resource that moves in a cycle with neither beginning nor end. 

             The amount of precipitation that falls around the world may range from less than 0.1 inch per year in some deserts to more than 900 inches per year in the tropics. The driest spots on Earth is Lquique, Chile, where no rain fell for a period of 14 years. The wettest spot is Cherrapunji, Meghalaya State, India with 10,820mm rain falls on average in a year.

In addition, few countries also receives enough precipitation with an average  rain per year around 1,400 mm in Japan, 1,200 across the USA and 650 mm in France.
