The County lies at an elevation of 1,138 m above sea level, the area topography is flat and the climate is semi-arid to arid (agro-ecological zone (AEZ) IV-VI).
However, the relationship between precipitation and topography across arid to semiarid orogens has received little attention because of limited data availability.
Population is primarily engaged in goat herding and some sheep, as there are no camels, cows or donkeys; highly mobile pastoralists due to high water scarcity given the dominant topography of arid internal plains; minimal to non-existent access to public amenities.
Profile Peru's economy reflects its varied topography - an arid lowland coastal region, the central high sierra of the Andes, the dense forest of the Amazon, with tropical lands bordering Colombia and Brazil.
However, good exposures of these features are always lacking in arid regions, characterized by flat topography and where sand dunes extensively cover the terrain.
In this study, we apply a recession method that uses a non-dimensional theoretical curve matching technique to evaluate basin-wide, spatially-averaged hydraulic parameters for several watersheds (Culebrón, Punitaqui, Valle Hermoso, Hurtado, Chalinga, and Camisas), taking as case of study the Coquimbo Region, an arid, mountainous territory with steep topography in North-Central Chile.
Tongyu County in Northeast China is highly prone to land degradation due to its fragile physical settings characterized by a flat topography, a semi-arid climate, and a shallow groundwater table.

SMEX04 was conducted over two regions: Arizona — semi-arid climate with sparse vegetation and moderate topography, and Sonora (Mexico) — moderate vegetation with strong topographic gradients.
In this study, we process one year of GPM precipitation with a spatial resolution of 0.1° × 0.1° across the arid to semiarid Qilian Shan Mountains to examine the spatial correlation between topography and precipitation.
