Not exact matches

Hudson (1994) showed that «for each 1 % increase in SOM, the available water holding capacity in the soil increased by 3.7 %».

The charcoal in soil also imparts properties to the soil which makes it a better growing medium for plants; better water holding capacity, better nutrient holding capacity, better habitat for benficial soil microorganisms, better tilth and friability of the soil, and better cation ion exchange capacity (CEC), all to make water and plant nutrients more available for growing plants.

Sotomayor also held that the EPA could not consider restoration measures - such as restocking fish to compensate for fish killed by an intake system - when determining the best technology available for a particular power plant. Sotomayor wrote that» [r] estoration measures are not part of the location, design, construction, or capacity of cooling water intake structures, and a rule permitting compliance with the statute through restoration measures allows facilities to avoid adopting any cooling water intake structure technology at all, in contravention of the Act's clear language as well as its technology - forcing principle.

Hudson (1994) showed that «for each 1 % increase in SOM, the available water holding capacity in the soil increased by 3.7 %».

• The readiness of the nation to predict and avoid public and occupational health problems caused by heat waves and severe storms • Characterization and quantification of relationships between climate variability, health outcomes, and the main determinants of vulnerability within and between populations • Development of reliable methods to connect climate - related changes in food systems and water supplies to health under different conditions • Prediction of future risks in response to climate change scenarios and of reductions in the baseline level of morbidity, mortality, or vulnerability • Identification of the available resources, limitations of, and potential actions by the current U.S. health care system to prevent, prepare for, and respond to climate - related health hazards and to build adaptive capacity among vulnerable segments of the U.S. population

Four soil variables are also included in the model: minimum and maximum available soil water storage capacity (ASW) in the top 1500 mm of soil, soil fertility (FR) and soil texture.

Differences in available energy, canopy roughness, the timing of physiological functioning, water holding capacity of the soil and rooting depth of the vegetation explained the observed differences in sensible and latent heat exchange of the contrasting vegetation surfaces.

In areas where abundant hydro capacity and water to power it are not available, the only way to solve this problem is to build very extensive pumped storage facilities to generate «artificial» hydro power.

A thickening active layer will result in additional water storage capacity in the soil and thawing of ground ice will not necessarily make water available for runoff.

Pumped - storage hydroelectric plant: A plant that usually generates electric energy during peak load periods by using water previously pumped into an elevated storage reservoir during off - peak periods when excess generating capacity is available to do so.

The places that will be hardest hit are the places that already have high water stress (a high fraction of available water already in use) and a low capacity of the community to adapt (ie, economic resources, water management plans).

Generating capacity is not the question there, it is the power of the available water.

Available in 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB capacities, the exterior offers military - grade protection against drops, and it's IP68 - rated against water and dust, so no need to worry when you spill coffee on it, then push it off the desk during cleaning.

The Apple 7 Plus brings a faster A10 processor, water resistance, stereo speakers, more RAM, more internal storage capacity for the same prices, best LCD available on a phone, improved front - facing camera, secondary telephoto camera lens, and more battery capacity.
