Fichas del conjunto (8)
- 1What is the water balance (budget)?Balance between inputs (precipitation) and outputs ( run-off, evapotranspiration, soil and groundwater storage)
- 2When do rivers only occur?Stores are available to release water, direct precipitation or there is overland flow into the river
- 3What is a river's regime?DIscharge levels rising and falling showing an annual pattern
- 4What is the water balance formula?Precipitation (P) = discharge (Q) +evapotransipiration (E) ± changes in storage (S)
