Here we present a bold departure from existing approaches by establishing the viability of significantly increasing freshwater through the capture of humid air over oceans. We show that the atmosphere above the oceans proximal to the land can yield substantial freshwater, sufficient to support large ...
the radiation which falls on the canopy and any bare soil due to incomplete canopy closure, and interpret the canopy conductance gC (m s− 1) as a bulked vegetation and surface conductance. Kelliher et al. (1995) show that the ratio of bulked conductance to stomatal conductance at the ...
More recent DPR projects include the Wichita Falls River Road and the Big Spring (2013) facilities, both located in Texas, USA [36]. The first began its operation in July 2014 as an emergency potable water supply in response to severe drought conditions. The latter has been operating since ...
Starting up water installations is typically a task that falls within the purview of water utility companies. These operations involve the presence of two separate fluids (water and air) that can be analyzed in terms of consideration two distinct behaviors (hydraulic and thermodynamic). During a fi...
As the moisture-laden air rises over this high ground it cools, the moisture condenses, becomes heavy and falls as rain. On the leeward (sheltered) side of the high ground the air is drier and warmer. This is sometimes known as a ‘rain shadow’ effect. The average annual rainfall on...
Expansion of agricultural practices from the Fertile Crescent to China during the mid and late Holocene are believed to have shaped the early network of Silk Road routes and possibly regulated the dynamics of trade and exchange in the urban oases along t
Remotely sensed evapotranspiration (ET) data offer strong potential to support data-driven approaches for sustainable water management. However, practitioners require robust and rigorous accuracy assessments of such data. The OpenET system, which include
The Huang-Huai-Hai region accounts for 80% of China’s wheat production, leading to severe groundwater depletion and substantial environmental impacts. Here we present an optimization framework for wheat redistribution to reduce both water requirements a
