Estimating evapotranspiration from the Amazon Basin using the atmospheric water balance
… at others, trees experience evident dry season water limitation. However, the few sites investigated are inadequate to characterize the conditions of transpiration throughout the basin. As a result of this uncertainty in modeling trees' access to deep soil moisture, land surface models cannot …

Energy and water balance in the lesser double-collared sunbird, Nectarinia chalybea
… feed on aqueous sugar solutions, and their water balance is tightly linked to their energy balance. When nectar is dilute and energy demands are high, consumption of a large excess of preformed water is inevitable. Physiological implications of nectarivory for the lesser double-collared …

A Water Balance and Sediment Yield Analysis Model for the Lopez Lake Reservoir
… Lake Reservoir is the primary source of potable water for the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, and to the Community Service Districts of Oceano and Avila Beach. In this study, a water balance and sediment yield analysis model was developed for the reservoir’s watershed. The …

CONTINENTAL SCALE DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION OF MONTHLY WATER BALANCE MODELS FOR THE UNITED STATES
Water balance models are important for the characterization of hydrologic systems, to help understand regional scale dynamics, and to identify hydro-climatic trends and systematic biases in data. Because existing models have, to-date, only been tested on data sets of limited spatial …

Water balance investigations of groundwater depletion in Asia : information needs and uncertainty analysis
… of the world, and Asia in particular, groundwater is a major source of irrigation water. Over-pumping of groundwater aquifers has depleted storage in some areas. Quantification of the degree to which groundwater is being used unsustainably is critical to our understanding of the stability of …

Regional dynamical downscaling and analysis of water balance across different regions and time scales
… upper troposphere. Regarding the QB, the basin's water balance sensitivity to present-day and mid-Pliocene climate regimes, were examined, demonstrating the potential of RDD in paleoclimatic research. Downscaling of GCM data, to a resolution of 30 km, enabled us to investigate the regional drivers …

Storm Response and Water Balance of Temperate Rainforest Karst Watersheds: Tongass National Forest, Alaska
… but also surrounding ecosystems. Dye trace and water balance results in two watersheds on the north end of Prince of Wales Island demonstrate the difficulty in containing the effects of management, as water can enter karst catchments from unknown sources at different flow regimes. A dye trace …

A mathematical model of the airway epithelium: Computational studies of ion and water balance
… to investigate the time course of ion and water transport across airway epithelia. Model variables were intracellular and apical concentrations of sodium, potassium, chloride; apical, basolateral, and transepithelial membrane potentials; cell and apical volumes. Membrane transport processes …

Modification and Evaluation of a Water Balance Model to Simulate Corn Yields in Drained Waterways
<p>A water balance model was successfully modified to determine yield response to tile drainage in waterways based on climate data. Modifications to the model were completed based on field measurements. Infiltration and tile drainage routines in the model were modified to improve the model …

The Importance of Fog for Carbon Gain, Water Balance, and Foliar Uptake in Southern Appalachian Cloud Forests
… subsidy of moisture that can improve plant water relations as well as photosynthetic status through alleviation of high sunlight and temperature stress. However, leaf wetting events can negatively affect carbon uptake by blocking stomatal pores, inhibiting CO2 exchange. Thus, in the southern …

Predicting Field Water Balance, Crop Yield, and the Economics of Drainage Under Various Cropping Systems Using Drainmod
… While subsurface drainage is a widely accepted water management practice for increasing crop yield, research implicated tile drainage in surface and groundwater quality problems. Conservation practices such as crop rotation and controlled drainage may decrease tile flows and improve water …
