    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_weather_terminology...

    Low water advisory MWS – Water levels are significantly below average levels over major lakes, coastal marine zones, and tidal marine areas, waterway, or river inlet within or adjacent to a marine zone, which could create a hazard to navigation.

  3. Harmonized System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonized_System

    The process of assigning HS codes is known as "HS Classification". All products can be classified in the HS by using the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System ("GRI") that must be applied in strict order. HS codes can be determined by a variety of factors including a product's composition, its form and its function.

  4. Water metering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_metering

    A velocity-type meter measures the velocity of flow through a meter of known internal capacity. The speed of the flow can then be converted into a volume of flow to determine the usage. There are several types of meters that measure water flow velocity, including jet meters (single-jet and multi-jet), turbine meters, propeller meters and mag ...

  5. Matched precipitation rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matched_precipitation_rate

    In order to be "matched" all sprinkler heads in a given zone must have the same rate of precipitation. This can be achieved by matching the gallonage of a standard rotor to its arc and reducing range accordingly (i.e. 2 gallons at 90 degrees, 4 gallons at 180 degrees, or 8 gallons if the head does a full circle) or by using MPR nozzles or ...

  6. Hydrograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrograph

    A stream hydrograph is commonly determining the influence of different hydrologic processes on discharge from the subject catchment. Because the timing, magnitude, and duration of groundwater return flow differs so greatly from that of direct runoff, separating and understanding the influence of these distinct processes is key to analyzing and simulating the likely hydrologic effects of ...

  7. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    Because they are used for domestic water measurement, piston meters, also known as rotary piston or semi-positive displacement meters, are the most common flow measurement devices in the UK and are used for almost all meter sizes up to and including 40 mm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in). The piston meter operates on the principle of a piston rotating within a ...

    is the initial abstraction ([L]; in), or the amount of water before runoff, such as infiltration, or rainfall interception by vegetation; historically, it has generally been assumed that =, although more recent research has found that = may be a more appropriate relationship in urbanized watersheds where the CN is updated to reflect developed ...
