Hydrology: Basic Concepts and Challenges - The Regional Water Balance
3 important questions on Hydrology: Basic Concepts and Challenges - The Regional Water Balance
What is the potential water resource?
What are the main error sources in precipitation measurements according to a global study of water balances?
- Poor distribution of gauging stations
- Errors in measurement at individual gauges
- Failure to sample high elevations, where precipitation usually increases due to orographic effects.
Influencing factors of mu(discharge) / mu(runoff)?
- Geology
- Watershed size (larger watersheds tend to collect the ground-water flows of tributaries and have mu(discharge/mu(runoff) closer to 1
- Relative position or elevation of a watershed (i.e. headwater vs. coastal zones)
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
