  2. Water balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_balance

    The law of water balance states that the inflows to any water system or area is equal to its outflows plus change in storage during a time interval. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In hydrology , a water balance equation can be used to describe the flow of water in and out of a system.

  3. Ecohydrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecohydrology

    A water balance states that the amount water entering the soil must be equal to the amount of water leaving the soil plus the change in the amount of water stored in the soil. The water balance has four main components: infiltration of precipitation into the soil, evapotranspiration, leakage of water into deeper portions of the soil not ...

  4. Water cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle

    When water evaporates, it takes up energy from its surroundings and cools the environment. When it condenses, it releases energy and warms the environment. These heat exchanges influence the climate system. The evaporative phase of the cycle purifies water because it causes salts and other solids picked up during the cycle to be left behind.

    “The global water crisis is a tragedy but is also an opportunity to transform the economics of water,” said Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director general of the World Trade Organization and a co-chair ...

  6. Evapotranspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evapotranspiration

    The water balance equation relates the change in water stored within the basin (S) to its input and outputs: = In the equation, the change in water stored within the basin (ΔS) is related to precipitation (P) (water going into the basin), and evapotranspiration (ET), streamflow (Q), and groundwater recharge (D) (water leaving the basin). By ...

  7. Runoff model (reservoir) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_model_(reservoir)

    Figure 7. Runoff from the water balance. The recharge, also called effective rainfall or rainfall excess, can be modeled by a pre-reservoir (figure 6) giving the recharge as overflow. The pre-reservoir knows the following elements: a maximum storage (Sm) with unit length [L] an actual storage (Sa) with unit [L] a relative storage: Sr = Sa/Sm

  8. Groundwater recharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_recharge

    If water falls uniformly over a field such that field capacity of the soil is not exceeded, then negligible water percolates to groundwater. If instead water puddles in low-lying areas, the same water volume concentrated over a smaller area may exceed field capacity resulting in water that percolates down to recharge groundwater.

  9. Aquifer thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_thermal_energy_storage

    To inhibit the subsidence, cold surface water was reinjected into the aquifer. Subsequently, it was observed that the stored water remained cold after injection and could be used for cooling. Storage of thermal energy in aquifers was suggested in the 1970s which led to field experiments and feasibility studies in France, Switzerland, US and ...
