Genesis 8:1
But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.
2 The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
