The Proportion of Rain

According to Quran, rain is sent down to Earth in due measure;

"It is He who sends down water in due measure from the sky by which We bring a dead land back to life. That is how you too will be raised (from the dead)."
(Quran 43:11)

Modern science has discovered this measured quantity of rain.
It is estimated that in one second, approximately 16 million tons of water evaporates from the Earth. This figure amounts to 513 trillion tons of water in one year.
This number is equal to the amount of rain that falls on the Earth in a year.
This means that water continuously circulates in a balanced cycle (in a measure). Life on Earth depends on this water cycle.

Even a minor deviation in this equilibrium would very soon give rise to a major ecological imbalance that would bring about the end of life on Earth.
