Puddles are small pools of water that form on the ground after rain or melting snow. They can appear on various surfaces, such as roads, sidewalks, and fields. Puddles vary in size and depth, depending on the amount of water and the terrain. They often evaporate quickly when the sun shines or the temperature rises.
Puddles can be important for the environment, as they provide temporary habitats for small animals and insects. They can also help replenish groundwater supplies. However, standing water in puddles can sometimes lead to issues like mosquito breeding, which can affect public health.
