2025年2月6日 · Runoff The measurement of the flow of water in a stream, usually expressed in cubic feet per second; the net effect of storms, accumulation, transpiration, melt, seepage, evaporation, and percolation.

3 天之前 · Runoff matters for many reasons. For example, many animal and human communities depend on runoff to reliably fill rivers, lakes, and reservoirs for drinking water. If there’s too much runoff water coming from a glacier, it can cause downstream flooding. The time of year a glacier is melting and producing runoff is important, too.

2020年7月21日 · Land runoff may affect all of these measurements, but is especially likely to change light and nutrient levels by adding nutrients that spur algal growth, and increasing turbidity. Dekker said, "A fear is that the resilience of the corals on the Great Barrier Reef decreases with increasing nutrients and suspended sediment.

By incorporating another characteristic of stormwater runoff—the sediment discharge—could more insights be made on stormwater runoff in southern California? Cloud cover during or after storms limits MODIS, and with SAR data being sporadic, only seven rainstorms matched up MODIS and SAR imagery, offering the researchers a comparison of how ...

2025年2月8日 · Water runoff from melting snowpack and glaciers, when combined with rainfall, can affect the timing and magnitude of river flows and significantly impact the risk of flooding events. However, snow melt also has some beneficial effects — billions of people worldwide rely on seasonal water runoff from snowpack and glaciers for irrigation and ...

2020年12月28日 · "The biggest freshwater hydrologic events that GRACE detects are the rainfall runoff in the larger river basins, like the Amazon, and the monsoon cycle in India," said Tapley. Detecting how much water is entering the oceans is key to learning about sea level changes.

2016年3月24日 · It's bound to happen. Your favorite candidate is forced into a runoff election. So now what? You do this: That's right, Paul Simpson, candidate for Harris County GOP Chairman was forced into a runoff by Hotze slate backed candidate Rick Ramos. As you know, I've supported Simpson for the last six years and was a part of the campaign that led him to victory.

4 天之前 · Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) is the amount of water contained in snowpack. It is analogous to melting the snow and measuring the depth of the resulting pool of water. SWE measurements are useful for assessing both the potential surface runoff from snow melt and the water availability for regions in lower elevations.

2016年3月7日 · State Senate District 24, Monday, March 7, 2016— "I hope those who supported me in the Republican Primary, will choose Susan King in the runoff," said Jon Cobb, a close 3rd place Republican candidate finisher in the 6-person March 1st field for State Senate District 24. Cobb, who was raised in a military family, is a small businessman and entrepreneur from Bee …

2025年2月6日 · NASA provides datasets and tools that can aid with decisions regarding flood response and mitigation. An important first step is being aware of conditions that can make an area more susceptible to flooding by looking at data concerning precipitation patterns, soil moisture, surface runoff, snowfall and seasonal water runoff, and topography.
