“We have a long way to go Julie. We have to push ourselves to reach the site before dark.” While true that I worried about our reaching the site ahead of the dark‚ my real fear was the pain from the loaded backpack. Ten minutes ago I considered it just a temporary irritation‚ but now it had grown into a real strain on my back and shoulders‚ and it was an exertion to walk‚ even on level ground. Rather than yielding to defeat‚ I felt it best to travel another mile of two and possibly sedate the pain

Irrigation Because the Aztecs built extensive canal and water-diverting systems‚ irrigation farming became popular and productive. With water readily available‚ the Aztecs could enhance the growing season by irrigating the fields prior to planting‚ strengthen their crops by augmenting the rainfall with additional watering‚ and lengthen

Definition of desert: “a region so arid because of little rainfall that it supports only sparse and widely spaced vegetation or no vegetation at all” Deserts cover about one fifth of our planet‚ and are caused by extremely low rainfall over an area. Arid deserts generally occur at low latitudes‚ and can be found in North-America‚ South-America‚ Africa‚ and Southern Asia. In deserts such as the Atacama‚ there has never been any rainfall recorded since record keeping has come into existence. While

results from rainfall occurrence in a hydrologic catchment. Rainfall-runoff relations are Interflow/subsurface and base flow/groundwater flow very important in hydrology. 2 Most work on the prediction of runoff requires past records. 3 The problem is that some streams are not gauged. Also‚ non-recording gauges only gives the volume of water and not intensities 4 There is the need to get records of stream flow and recording gauge information to predict runoff from rainfall. 5 Some empirical

climate consisting of hot summers and mild winters. The Coffs Harbour area experiences high rainfall averaging between 1200 mm to 1700 mm per year‚ most rainfall occurring in late summer/early autumn. The landforms surrounding Coffs Harbour influences the rainfall greatly‚ The Great Dividing Range passes close to the area and the area has no major river systems. Due to these landforms higher rainfalls occurs east of coast due to the moist maritime air rising over the land. This leads to storms
