agriculture is better organized. One of the obvious causes of low productivity in India is the uncertain character of the rainfall. Apart from shortage and abnormal distribution of rainfall there are other causes such as floods‚ hail storms‚ frosts and other vagaries of climate‚ which have an injurious effect on crops. Irrigation supplies a partial corrective to deficiency of rainfall. Much damage is also caused by wild animals‚ rats‚ locusts and other pests. Various agricultural departments have addressed

In consequence‚ the Yemeni government should be taken on its consideration the best solutions‚ such as rainfall water gathering‚ improving the irrigation efficiency technique and raising the community’s awareness to manage the water properly. Rainfall water gathering is the key to preventing as much as raindrops from being wasted. The Yemeni government should have a clear strategy plan to construct dams to get in the way of

According to the article ("The Lost Colony and Jamestown Droughts‚" published in Science on April 24 1998) the rainfall in Jamestown was below 0. This information was determined by studying the rings on old cypress trees growing near Jamestown. A ring forms inside the trunk of the tree for each of the growth. A wider ring means that there is more rainfall and a narrow ring means there is less rainfall. Disease increases with drought. According to “The Generall Historie of Virginia”‚ New England and the “Summer

A Tropical Rainforest biome is home to more animals and plants than any other biome combined. A tropical rainforest is one of the hottest and most wet biomes in the world. These forests get at least 2 meters of rainfall a year. A tropical rainforest in Belem‚ Brazil has an average precipitation amount from 60 millimeters to 300 millimeters. The average temperature in a tropical rainforest is around 27°C‚ which stays the same for all seasons. Most of these forests are located in South America or lower

During rainfall‚ the crowns of trees in a thick forest may intercept as much as 10%-30% of the precipitation; that part of the rainwater that wets the surface of the leaves and branches is evaporated back to atmosphere; e.) Of the rainwater that falls directly to the ground‚ or slides down the branches and trunks‚ all could be soaked and absorbed by the forest litter and humus if the rainfall is light; if rainfall is heavier‚ a part of the rainwater sinks to

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Global average air temperature near the Earth’s surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.3 ± 0.32 °F) during the past century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes‚ "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas

municipal water‚ rainwater is typically readily available and free to use. Construction logistics and materials are less than those needed for a groundwater well or public distribution network‚ although the capacity of the system is limited by regional rainfall. Installation costs can be high‚ often limiting the system size‚ but they are typically cheaper than installing piped networks. Furthermore‚ a systematic collection and recharging of ground water is a recent development and is gaining importance
