so we had a constant worldwide rainforest.... which oozes water rather than rain... ? I see a documentary about Mt Kill the man Jarrow , where Tourists etc destroyed the forests, which indirectly stopped the water from flowing constantly in the rivers.. The rainforests sort of circulated the water and stopped it all flowing away in one big rush.

Condensation nuclei are needed (dew uses plants etc. to condense on). I believe the overwhelming disaster of the flood caused condensation nuclei to be thrown into the atmosphere for the first time. Volcanic activity, deserts, local convection driven winds etc. now produce a constant supply in the atmosphere. Blessings Philip Stott
