In the events leading to the resignation of the Santer Commission, the rapporteur went against the Budgetary Control Committee's narrow vote to discharge the budget, and urged the Parliament to reject it.
For how can we recommend discharge for a budget, how can we responsibly argue that the budget in question is correct, without knowing what is behind the numbers?
This in turn indicates the difference in parameters considered for calculating the discharge using water budget and Darcy methods.
Hence, the present focus of the study is to quantify and characterize the rate, pattern and variability of submarine groundwater discharge using water budget, Darcy law and seepage meters.
When the parliament was considering refusing to discharge the Community budget, President Jacques Santer stated that a no vote would be tantamount to a vote of no confidence.
My political group will therefore definitely support the proposal for a decision on discharge of the budget, as indeed the honourable Council has the opportunity to see in today's debate.
2007 discharge: EU general budget - Council (debate) The next item is the second report on discharge in respect of the implementation of the European Union general budget for the financial year 2007, Section II - Council A warm welcome to you to the plenary session, the first time the Council has been represented at the debate on its discharge.
In a previous study, we optimally integrated several datasets for each component (precipitation, evapotranspiration, storage change and discharge) to close this budget at a basin scale.
In water budget method the discharge has been attempted using data like precipitation, evapotranspiration and gradient and for Darcy law parameters like porosity, permeability, aquifer flow velocity, hydraulic conductivity and hydraulic gradient were considered.
The proposed WCEnKF contains two update steps; first, it incorporates observations from GRACE to improve model simulations of water storages, and second, uses the additional observations of precipitation, evaporation, and water discharge to establish the water budget closure.
