Oceans and lakes are the end of watersheds — areas surrounding anybody of waterdivided by hills. They therefore collect all of the trash that flows from the rivers feeding them, as well as any trash left behind on beaches or within their own water. Trash is a growing problem that harms ...
The morphostructure of the LCC directly reflects the region's sedimentary evolution and can be divided into two domains. The Inner Belt, characterized by low-angle alluvial fans and small hills with dendritic drainage patterns and common endorheic watersheds, extends over the marly substrate of ...
of our seven water goals under ourPerformance with Purpose2025 Agenda, four look outside of our own direct operations: to the fields and growers in our agricultural supply chain, to the watersheds we depend on in high

Within urbanized systems, Hg can be linked to industrial releases, non-point urban source runoff, atmospheric deposition, and subsequent downgradient transport in watersheds (Janssen et al., 2019). Hg can also be linked to atmospheric precipitation, as seen in offshore compartments of the Great ...
The soil–water transmissivityindicates the ability of soils to transmit water through its entire saturated thickness. Its importance is strongly linked to groundwater recharge, mainly in headwater watersheds. Calculation of transmissity and storativity of a confined aquifer ...
If a tree can’t get enough water, it is forced to close the stomata on its leaf surface to reduce water loss from transpiration. When stomata are closed, carbon dioxide import is drastically curtailed, and photosynthetic rates (and carbon production) are reduced. The four ants species ...
About the image: Philippine Gems — Lake Sebu Lake Sebu is one of the Philippines' most important watersheds and a major provider of irrigation to the provinces of Sultan Kudarat and South Cotabato. It is located in the ancestral domain of the T'boli and Ubo tribes. The DOT has promoted ...
When this intense precipitation falls within the watersheds of urbanized/industrialized estuaries, the associated floods increase the risk of erosion and dispersal of legacy contaminated sediments (e.g. Santschi et al., 2001). If the urbanized/industrialized estuary has been subjected to elevated ...
Watersheds were developed from a digital elevation model using desktop GIS tools. The results are small polygons, when combined with a drainage system provide crucial hydrological information. The drainage system was also made from a digital elevation model and the shown system is a key hydrology ...
