Water authorities use rivers and lakes as a standard source of water for human consumption. These sources tend to be replenished regularly by weather events. We can't drink this water directly out of the water body without additional treatment. Water treatment plants pump water into their facilit...
2009. Sources of water used by natural mesquite vegetation in a semi-arid region of northern Mexico. Hydrological Sciences Journal-Journal Des Sciences Hydrologiques 54(2): 375-381.Brunel, J. P. (2009). Sources of water used by natural mesquite vegetation in a semi-arid region of northern...
Our study addressed the sources of water used by mesquite (Prosopis velutina) along a natural gradient from an area of high mesquite cover with no herbaceous grass cover, to open savanna with high grass cover and widely spaced mesquite. 展开 关键词: oxygen-18 mesquite prosopis velutina water ...
Part of the heterogeneity might be explained by the fact that agricultural dependence is most prevalent in poor cells and alternative sources of income tend to be more accessible in higher-income cells. The relatively higher resilience of “richer” cells might also be due to their relatively ...
Field validation of isotopic procedures for determining sources of water used by plants in a semi-arid environment A comparison of the isotopic composition of the soil water in zones of high soil water potential (and hence high plant water availability) with that in... Jean-Pierre,Brunel,and,...
A method for analyzing types of water sources based on natural geographical feature, the method includes: collecting and processing remote sensing image data of target area, and obtaining maximum and minimum value of an annual vegetation index; subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value to...
Besides, the water flow makes it difficult to define boundaries. Finally, the biosphere is the totality of all ecosystems on Earth and is known as the domain of life. This global ecological system integrates all living creatures with the other components of the atmosphere, lithosphere, and ...

In addition, reliable sources of rainfall, such as theSouth Asian monsoon, on which agriculture of theIndian subcontinenthas long depended, are becoming ...
Ideally, NCS mitigation estimates also incorporate biophysical factors that affect top-of-atmosphere radiative forcing, including black carbon deposited from particulate matter, changes in albedo resulting from changes in land cover, and changes in water vapor66. These first two non-GHG factors have ...
Sources of evaporation include canopy interception, soil interception, soil evaporation, vegetation transpiration and open water evaporation. We employ an Eulerian moisture tracking model, WAM-2 layers26, to quantify the source of moisture, where it travels through the atmosphere and where it falls ...
