Basically an almost unlimited source of water: solutions and manifestos: Management of hydrological cycle: precipitation (p) = runoff (q) + evaporation & transpiration (et) + infiltration (i) + Storage (s: precipitation management (p, geographic variability places that have less of it need more management, temporal variability at any given location, climate change over time (cid:862)(cid:374)atural(cid:863) (non-human related climate change, ex. Seeding winter storms in the san juan mnts. Disposal of wastewater by evaporation in warm arid or semi-arid climates use evaporation ponds to get rid of wastewater: must be shallow depth, and sealed below, 5.
