- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the water cycle in Georgia. Water in Georgia originates mainly as rainfall and occasionally as snow or sleet. On average, annual rainfall increases with elevation, with the greatest amounts (more than sixty inches per year) falling on the southern Appalachian Mountains in north Georgia--specifically the Blue Ridge region--and forming a temperate rainforest.
