Water Budgets in Ecosystems

2016
Water is the foundation of all ecosystems, whether terrestrial or aquatic. In terrestrial ecosystems freshwater not only provides critical water supply for transpiration during plant photosynthesis and drinking water for animals, but also transports, redistributes and stores energy, nutrients and contaminants.

The Water Budget

2016
The components of the water balance (infiltration, deep percolation, evaporation from the soil surface, etc.) determine the amount of water available to the crop. Water flow in the soil occurs following the gradient of water potential and can be analyzed by the Richards equation, but there are simpler alternative methodologies to quantify the water ...

Water Resources and Water Budgeting

2011
This chapter presents a catchment-wise water resource analysis of the Yamuna River basin. Both surface and ground water resources are included. Over-exploitation of ground water resources is causing persistent lowering of the water table in the basin. This major issue is discussed using the indicator of the stage of ground water development.

Water Budget Measurement

2012
Performing a water budget on a stormwater treatment practice is often necessary when assessing a practice. A water budget measures or estimates all the flow rates entering and exiting the practice as a function of time and/or the total water volumes entering and exiting the practice through various pathways. If all pathways are measured accurately, the

Phosphorus and Water Budgets in an Agricultural Basin

Environmental Science & Technology, 2014
Water and phosphorus (P) budgets of a large agricultural basin located in South Florida (Everglades Agricultural Area, EAA) were computed from 2005 to 2012. The annual surface outflow P loading from the EAA averaged 157.2 mtons originating from Lake Okeechobee (16.4 mtons, 10.4%), farms (131.0 mtons, 83.4%), and surrounding basins (9.8 mtons, 6.2 ...

The Urban Water Budget

2009
In this chapter our goal is to highlight some of the many ways that urbanization affects the water budget and water cycle. A water budget describes the stores or volumes of water in the surface, subsurface and atmospheric compartments of the environment over a chosen increment of time.
