Sentences with phrase «alters hydrological cycles»

That's a growing problem, because in many places, finding water for energy isn't easy - and it's bound to get tougher as energy demands soar and climate change alters hydrological cycles in already arid regions.

We are altering the hydrological cycle and the texture of land cover.

However, potential changes in precipitation, for instance due to an altered hydrological cycle, may counter this effect both regionally and globally.

Not exact matches

Humans alter that hydrological cycle through water use demand - irrigation being a large use - and cause changes in water supply by affecting evaporation and runoff.

In turn, the rate of evaporation drives the entire hydrological cycle by altering the size and latitudinal positions of the air circulation systems and thus the rate of energy transfer from surface to space.

Variations in ocean circulation speeds account for significant instances of climate change, changing the hydrological cycle and altering atmospheric circulation patterns as well.
