Sentences with phrase «water runoff compared»

An analysis of water and climate data from 1901 to 2008 from 100 large water basins around the world revealed more water loss to the atmosphere and less water runoff compared with conclusions from earlier studies.

Not exact matches

Over two years of field experiments in the south west the team demonstrated that the hybrid, named Festulolium, reduced water runoff from agricultural grassland by up to 51 per cent compared to a leading UK nationally - recommended perennial ryegrass cultivar and by 43 per cent compared to meadow fescue.

The team also compared the ice loss up until the mid-1980s to that observed by satellites over roughly the last decade and found that today the rate of ice loss is twice the 20th century average, mostly because of increased water runoff from the ice sheet's surface.

Runoff gains also could provide incidental benefits to the water supply of downstream users, but the increases were more modest when compared to total runoff from the Salt - Verde waterRunoff gains also could provide incidental benefits to the water supply of downstream users, but the increases were more modest when compared to total runoff from the Salt - Verde waterrunoff from the Salt - Verde watersheds.

However, no anthropogenic influence can be detected for 1 - day and 3 - day surface runoff, as increases in extreme precipitation in the present - day climate are offset by decreased snow cover and lower frozen water content in soils during the May — June transition months, compared to pre-industrial climate.

Estimates of runoff and evaporation were validated by comparing simulated change in storage, computed by adding inputs and subtracting outputs from the known water levels by month, to observed change in storage.

Their simulations compared well to data collected on snowpack distribution and water runoff.
