This chapter explores the likely trends and outcomes in water governance by about 2030 in two regions: South Asia and Southern Africa. It addresses the question: What are the prospects for developing governance arrangements in the two regions that will lead to more positive outcomes in terms of ...
An overwater bulk-cargo transportation device suitable for coastal and southern China water areas is a ship, which comprises a bow, a ship body waist, a stern and a cargo hold. The ship includes length between perpendiculars, molded breadth and molded depth. The product of the length between...
Chile is in the midst of a megadrought, the longest in at least 1000 years, that has lowered reservoirs and caused tensions and social unrest over water20. Climate extremes are likely boosting fire activity in Central Chile (30°–39° S). The loss of precipitations observed during the ...
S10a). All these large-scale climate variabilities correspond to enhanced westerlies and negative wind stress curl anomalies over the SO (Supplementary Fig. S10b). On decadal timescales, these anomalous wind stress and wind stress curls enhance SO upwelling that can bring subsurface warm water to ...
Carbon addition interacts with water availability to reduce invasive forb establishment in a semi-arid grassland Increases in nitrogen (N) availability can favor fast-growing invasive species over slow-growing native species. One way to reduce N availability is to add... DM Blumenthal - 《...
(Fig.2f). The recharge of the equatorial warm pool supplied the Indonesian Throughflow and the Equatorial Undercurrent, thereby feeding the downstream surface waters of the cold tongue in the eastern Pacific76. The enhanced Walker circulation, in turn, facilitated the buildup of warm water westward...
Over 70 percent of Beijing's tap water is channelled from the country's southern regions.The capital is one of 35 cities to benefit from the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, which is marking its second anniversary since being implemented."Previously, the cities of Beijing and Tianjin ...
Stable Hydrogen and Oxygen isotopic composition of water vapor, rainwater and surface seawater show a distinct trend across the latitude over the Southern Indian Ocean. Our observations on isotopic composition of surface seawater, water vapor and rainwater across a transect covering the tropical Indian ...
In recent years, Licari writes, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power “has taken steps to exert even greater control over its land holdings in the valley,” making it harder for lease holders to transfer their leases to new owners starting in 2016. The ...
64. The North African summer monsoon has effective control over the Eastern Mediterranean deepwater ventilation on orbital time-scales through changing the discharge of the Nile River. This results in density stratification and breakdown of deepwater formation reflected by sapropel layers S1 in Ocean ...
