It is well known that one of the central issues of the Mathematical Environment is the study of general mathematical models for the hydrological cycle (MMHC) obtained trough the consideration of mass transport balances with other connected physical processes arising in the coupling of the different type of water flows: surface, soil and ground waters. The water exchange models (MMHC) take into account many different factors as, for instance: water flows in confined and unconfined aquifers, ...

The Water Cycle And Water Insecurity Exam Style Questions And Answers Describe how deforestation is affecting the Amazon basin - The amount of water  returning to the atmosphere by evapotranspiration is greatly reduced — from  75% to 25% of intercepted water. More precipitation enters the river by runoff.  Overland flow increases the amount of soil erosion. Huge quantities of soil are  entering the rivers and causing extensive silting. Mudslides are increasing in  frequency and sc...

What is the water cycle? - The cycle operates in a variety of spacial scales where physical processes control the circulation of water between stores on land, oceans, the cryosphere and the atmosphere. It works as a closed system with inputs (rainwater), outputs, stores and gravitational potential energy. It begins with evaporation where water vapour from the ocean is lifted and condensed in the atmosphere to form clouds. Moisture is then transported around the globe and returns to the sur...
