| At a catchment level, the hydrological dimension is defined as a water cycle. |
|
| If people were the focus of a global system, perhaps the water cycle could be part of the studied environment. |
|
| These include climate regulation, the operation of the water cycle, the regulation of atmospheric composition, and nutrient cycling. |
|
| The tiny carbon cycle is piggybacking on the huge water cycle, not driving it. |
|
| Rising greenhouse gases are affecting rainfall patterns and the global water cycle. |
|
| The water cycle will be drastically altered with increased temperatures, increasing the number and severity of both droughts and floods. |
|
| His scientific career was a pursuit of the understanding of every aspect of the water cycle. |
|
| In fact, there is a relationship between the water cycle and global change. |
|
| While the focus at the moment is on conserving water, it's important to remember if we look after the environment it will help the water cycle. |
|
| The most damaging impact of civilized man on his environment is the shattering of the water cycle. |
|
| Changes to the water cycle are among the most important impacts of a changing climate. |
|
| Scientists theorize that methane rains from Titan's sky, creating surface methane or ethane lakes, which may give rise to clouds, similar to the water cycle on Earth. |
|
| The hydrologic or water cycle is an overall picture of the movement and exchange of water substance among the atmosphere, ocean and land. |
|
| The overall picture of the exchange of water in all its phases among the atmosphere, ocean and solid earth is called the water cycle. |
|
| However, water which is prevented from evaporating is effectively removed from the water cycle. |
|
| Alien aquatic plants and micro-organisms can enter the water cycle through discharges of aquarium water without prior sterilisation. |
|
| We can do even better with more recycling, stormwater harvesting and integrated water cycle management. |
|
| Damming, water extraction, irrigation and climate change are affecting the global water cycle. |
|
| It advocates improving the water cycle with a view to gradually ensuring that there is sufficient water for all. |
|
| This is important since, as we will see later, biodiversity maintains the water cycle. |
|
|
|
| It relates to the regulation of water use and the co-ordination of the sectoral policies that have an impact on the water cycle. |
|
| The water cycle describes the continuous transfer of water between the land, the atmosphere and the oceans. |
|
| Good water cycle management is crucial in order to address the issue of water, which has a cross-sectoral nature. |
|
| Recognition of the continuity of the water cycle should promote a shift to integrated management. |
|
| These figures relate only to the water made available by the natural water cycle of falling rain and snow. |
|
| The rain and snow which falls as part of this hydrological or water cycle is the source of water for lakes, rivers and underground reservoirs. |
|
| Agricultural activity impacts water quality when fertilisers and crop treatment products are lost and enter the water cycle. |
|
| The children go back to colouring their diagrams of the water cycle. |
|
| The water cycle is also an important part of what drives our weather and the climate system generally. |
|
| For example, aspects of the water cycle are principally in the domain of the Division of Water Sciences within the Natural Sciences Sector. |
|
| Climate and climate change have strong effect on the water cycle. |
|
| There are environmental concerns at every stage of the water cycle. |
|
| The goal was to educate the next generation on how to conserve water and the vital role the water cycle plays in nature. |
|
| Denmark recognized that improving access to and use of the domestic water cycle could assist in restoring the social integration and dignity of persons with disabilities. |
|
| Hydrogen from water vapor reduces the oxide, reforming water vapor and continuing this water cycle. |
|
| Ice is an important component of the global climate, particularly in regard to the water cycle. |
|
| They are either unaware of, or underestimate, the potential impact of livestock in breaking up the layer of hardpan, and the possibility of improving the water cycle. |
|
| The author keeps thinking of the water cycle. |
|
| I might be estimating the size of trees or learning about the water cycle. |
|
| Realize that your tears are part of the water cycle, too. |
|
|
|
| Furthermore, it will address soil aspects in relation to the water cycle. |
|
| Precipitation is a major component of the water cycle, and is responsible for depositing the fresh water on the planet. |
|
| Precipitation is a major component of the water cycle, and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the planet. |
|
| Thus, beginning of a low water cycle and large power consumption in winter caused the current situation, he said. |
|
| Inside super-Earths, however, high pressure can keep the water cycle running for at least 10 billion years. |
|
| The main objective of the Action is to assess the role of xenobiotics in the urban water cycle and to set up strategies for minimising their impact on humans and ecosystems. |
|
| It is an important process for managing levels of groundwater that occurs both naturally through the water cycle and anthropologically where reclaimed water is routed to the subsurface. |
|
| The water cycle consists of various complicated processes of precipitation, evaporation, interception, transpiration, infiltration, percolation, retention, detention, overland flow, throughflow, and runoff. |
|
| For example, terrapins, small crocodiles and other species released into ponds and streams or down toilets find their way quite efficiently into the water cycle. |
|
| Compart and Falck have overlapping businesses in the sectors of electricity generation and supply and, only marginally, in the sector of integrated water cycle. |
|
| Plants take part in the water cycle by removing water from the soil and discharging it through their leaves as vapor in a process known as evapotranspiration. |
|
| That is why it rains so heterogeneously on the territory, or why the temporal distribution is so erratic, why the water cycle is so vulnerable to the climate changes caused naturally or anthropically. |
|
| The authors argue that the Tharsis-induced planetary toppling occurred well after the Noachian, and that the decline of an active water cycle on the planet coincided with the end of vigorous volcanism. |
|
| Oceanic evaporation, as a phase of the water cycle, is the source of most rainfall, and ocean temperatures determine climate and wind patterns that affect life on land. |
|
| This water cycle is a vital mechanism for supporting life on land and is a primary factor in the erosion of surface features over geological periods. |
|
| In addition to the water cycle and churning atmosphere, LOOP features Earth's enigmatic yet powerful oceanic circulation system, the so-called thermohaline conveyor belt. |
|
| Rising temperatures, a changing water cycle, record amounts of greenhouse gases, and warming and acidifying oceans are having a major impact on society. |
|
| Twenty contributed chapters address ecosystem services related to the carbon cycle, biodiversity, the water cycle, and the land-surface energy balance. |
