The OEM battery in my 2008 Jetta SE 2.5 L has been nearly fully discharged one month back (had insufficient surface charge after a prolonged use without the engine running, but leaving it idle for 20 minutes made the car start again), then worked fine for a few days afterwards (but without being subjected to much charge), but then was discharged again after only a quarter of the prior abuse (since it was probably not fully charged since the prior discharge, me underestimating the driving time it would take to bring the battery back to fuller life, plus possibly missing out on water, as I found out later).

Those section conclude that «significant gaps remain» in regulation despite updates in some states, and they describe exemptions for fracking wastes from the Resource Recovery and Response Act's hazardous waste requirements, from the Clean Water Act's comprehensive permit program for discharges into surface waters, and from the Safe Drinking Water Act (which regulates groundwater pollution).

The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act imposes requirements to minimize impacts on the land and on natural channels, such as requiring that water discharged from mines will not degrade stream water quality below established standards.

The increased area of warm water on the surface allows the tropical Pacific Ocean to discharge more heat than normal into the atmosphere through evaporation.

When there is a relaxation of trade winds, the warm water in the West Pacific Warm Pool sloshes to the east and speads across the surface and there's an El Nino event, which is the discharge mode.

During the El Nino, the discharge phase, warm water that had been stored in the Pacific Warm Pool sloshes to the east where it spreads across the surface, raising sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific.

It appears so because of the focus on the El Nino as the discharge phase, but in reality the warm water released by the El Nino remains on the surface during the La Nina phase.
