Runoff | NASA Earthdata Runoff is the measurement of the flow of water into a lake, stream or other waterbody, usually expressed in cubic feet per second The flow is produced by rainfall from storms, precipitation accumulation or transpiration, melting ice or snow, seepage, evaporation, and percolation
Glacier Runoff | NASA Earthdata Runoff matters for many reasons For example, many animal and human communities depend on runoff to reliably fill rivers, lakes, and reservoirs for drinking water If there’s too much runoff water coming from a glacier, it can cause downstream flooding The time of year a glacier is melting and producing runoff is important, too
Total Runoff | NASA Earthdata The total runoff is equal to the total precipitation less the losses caused by evapotranspiration, storage, and other such abtractions
Cattle, Crops, and Coral: Flood Plumes and the Great Barrier Reef Land runoff may affect all of these measurements, but is especially likely to change light and nutrient levels by adding nutrients that spur algal growth, and increasing turbidity Dekker said, "A fear is that the resilience of the corals on the Great Barrier Reef decreases with increasing nutrients and suspended sediment
Snow Melt | NASA Earthdata Water runoff from melting snowpack and glaciers, when combined with rainfall, can affect the timing and magnitude of river flows and significantly impact the risk of flooding events However, snow melt also has some beneficial effects — billions of people worldwide rely on seasonal water runoff from snowpack and glaciers for irrigation and
Jon Cobb Endorses Susan King In Republican Primary Runoff For State . . . State Senate District 24, Monday, March 7, 2016— "I hope those who supported me in the Republican Primary, will choose Susan King in the runoff," said Jon Cobb, a close 3rd place Republican candidate finisher in the 6-person March 1st field for State Senate District 24 Cobb, who was raised in a military family, is a small businessman and entrepreneur from Bee Cave in Travis County Cobb
Wasting Away | NASA Earthdata By incorporating another characteristic of stormwater runoff—the sediment discharge—could more insights be made on stormwater runoff in southern California? Cloud cover during or after storms limits MODIS, and with SAR data being sporadic, only seven rainstorms matched up MODIS and SAR imagery, offering the researchers a comparison of how
Stormwater Management | NASA Earthdata Stormwater management is the control and use of stormwater runoff The goals of stormwater management include reducing flooding to protect people and property, reducing demand on public stormwater drainage systems, and supporting healthy streams and rivers These can be achieved by planning for run
Matter in Motion: Earths Changing Gravity | NASA Earthdata "The biggest freshwater hydrologic events that GRACE detects are the rainfall runoff in the larger river basins, like the Amazon, and the monsoon cycle in India," said Tapley Detecting how much water is entering the oceans is key to learning about sea level changes
