    Hwangwe National Park is one of thee biggest park after  Gonarenzou National Park. The absence of water causes animals to suffer and die. National parks should be located near water dams and rivers so that animals do not travel a long distance looking for water.In Hwangwe  National Parks there are pans created to store water.The report  from the Chronicle of 28 November also revealed that  Elephants are not supposed to walk a long distance because   it may cause the elephants to die at an early stage. Most animals enjoys a watery greener environment.




    The heat wave that was experienced between November and December claimed many animals.The heat wave was a result of  global warming and it affected the water cycle. If one stage of water cycle is disturbed then the  rain patterns  is also affected.







    Water is never lost but how come there is drought and water shortage.Water should evaporate from dams and trees.If people cut down trees then the cycle is disturbed.Trees are important because they use carbon dioxide and release oxygen .If people cut down trees then the carbon dioxide and other toxic gases forms an ozone layer beneath the clouds.The ozone layer prevent evaporated water from forming clouds.The ozone layer will be saturated with carbon dioxide and other toxic gases.Precipitation would not take place if the clouds are not saturated by water vapor . There the ozone layer which is known as global warming can affect the rainfall patterns.People are encouraged  to observe the environment and shun away from cutting down trees.
