Sentences with phrase «reduce water evaporation»

Use mulch to help reduce water evaporation around trees and shrubs.

96 million plastic balls were released onto the Los Angeles Reservoir to reduce water evaporation.»

Not exact matches

The increased sunlight reflectance in the sky would keep the waters below from warming up to the hurricane threshold while also curbing evaporation, thereby reducing the atmospheric moisture needed to make a storm.

This mulch reduces evaporation, which promotes water conservation and can be extremely useful in arid areas where water availability is limited.

This reduces the rate of water evaporation, raises the surface temperature of the meat, and consequently speeds up cooking.

Unlike many tropical plants that close the pores on their leaves at midday to reduce sun exposure, mangroves remain active, absorbing heat to prevent evaporation of the shallow waters they depend on.

Additional features of the microplates include better well access when using water immersion, high numerical aperture objectives with an ultralow plate bottom, an improved lid design that reduces evaporation, corner spacers that avoid damaging the imaging surface when stacking, and a choice of different coatings to suit specific applications.

Plants loose a lot of water by evaporation when they open their stomata (pores in their leaves) to absorb CO2 (a small percentage of plant species, especially cacti, have particular mechanisms to drastically reduce this problem).

There are ways to improve your irrigation to focus the water to the plants in a way that reduces the amount of run - off and evaporation, such as drip - irrigation systems.

However, with me at least, a bit part of the deal is the increased acidity reducing fish harvests, water shortages, droughts severely reducing crops (sure — more rain, but more over the ocean, less on land — and with greater evaporation before the water trickles to a dry stream bed), increased heat reducing rice production and other heat sensative crops, the heat waves, etc..

And once wide swaths of tree are cut, large land areas lose their shade cover, resulting in more evaporation from the soil, further reducing water flows.

The persistent upwelling of cold water in the eastern tropical Pacific would have reduced cloud cover there, via reduced oceanic evaporation, and thus allowed more of the sun's energy to enter the tropical ocean - this would have aided the ocean warming process, as generally the case when the tropical ocean is cooler - than - normal.

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6

First, higher CO2 concentrations can lead to reduced evaporation, as the stomata, through which evaporation from plants takes place, conduct less water.

All models project increases in all four seasons.1 However, increases in evaporation due to higher air temperatures and longer growing seasons are expected to reduce water availability in most of the state.6

At the surface, evaporation takes energy from the water surface or from the surface on land and reduces the density of the air parcel above so that the air parcel becomes lighter and can rise.

The amount of water in the uplift reduces the flow from the side because it adds to the volume and because evaporation takes most of the energy available reducing the overall flow of air.

In Reducing evaporation losses from farm dams I discused the large evaporation losses from open water storages and some of the methods used to reduce them.

If the energy source that adds energy to the water can not get past the evaporative region (such as DLR) then ALL of it is used up creating extra evaporation leaving no surplus and failing to reduce the upward energy flow from the bulk ocean.

In the real world one can influence the rate of evaporation either by reducing pressure or by increasing the energy content of the water (amongst other ways such as increased air movement and humidity changes).

The reverse effect of a more quiescent sun reduces direct solar warming and, by permitting the penetration of cosmic rays, facilitates low cloud formation, which increases reflection of already reduced solar radiation, reduces clear sky, reduces evaporation and simultaneously reduces the availability of the most important greenhouse gas, water vapor, through condensation and precipitation.

atmospheric absorption by CO2 and water vapor increases, reducing the solar heating at the surface, and surface evaporation increases faster with temperature than the transfer of sensible heat (due to the Clausius - Clapeyron relation), both of which tend to reduce the diurnal cycle.

By reducing evaporation, these shade balls will conserve 300 million gallons of water each year, instead of just evaporating into the sky.

That is, if warming, say due to increased CO2, produces more evaporation and therefore more water vapor and thus more clouds, that will feed back and reduce the amount of warming somewhat.

Pool covers help keep the heat in (Natural Resources Canada estimates that a cover reduces pool heating costs by up to 50 percent), inhibits the evaporation of water and chemical treatments, and reduces the amount of debris that falls into the pool when not in use.
