The recharge is estimated to be 24% of the average rainfall of the preceding 12 months. Water levels in the Gemsbokfontein West Compartment are declining at 0.375 m/month. 2 Pumping rates and water levels The available data on

In water conditions that has a sufficient amount of rainfall‚ the C3 pathway would be considered a disadvantage because the stomata would need to close at night to conserve water due to receiving the water it needs regularly. The C3 pathway would be an advantage in harsh weather conditions that are hot‚ dry and receive little rainfall. The C3 pathway is the most common form of photosynthesis that uses a 3 carbon molecule in the Calvin cycle

The rainfall dumped 27 inches of rain. Prof Dave Petley‚ professor at the International Landslide Centre‚ Durham University‚ agreed. "This sort of rainfall and landslide action in the Philippines at this time of year is quite unusual‚" he said‚ and may be tied to La Nina hurricane. Scientists but also survivors said that not
