Sentence examples for groundwater runoff from inspiring English sources

In our concrete jungle, plants reduce air pollution and groundwater runoff.

The large influence of PERC on the model fit indicates the importance of slow groundwater runoff in the catchment.

In the first stage, the Ddv decrease was mostly associated with increasing surface runoff coefficient after cultivation of virgin lands with proportional decreases in groundwater runoff.

The IC of K2, which influences the dynamics of the slow groundwater runoff, continuously increases during low flow periods, when recharge from the soil zone ceases and the base-flow from the lower groundwater box becomes the main runoff source.

A greater soil infiltration depth indicates that there is more water precipitating into the soil, increasing the discharge and flux of interflow and groundwater runoff and reducing surface runoff losses and surface erosion.

Compared to the organic and nutrient concentrations between after applying the fertilizers and after harvesting, TOC was increased by about 12% in CM and 21.4% in LF; however, the nutrient concentrations tended to decrease, resulting from utilization by crop (corn) growth or from stream to groundwater runoff due to the rainfall event.

Therefore, well-adjusted groundwater and runoff models must be applied when designing the surface water system in such areas.

Understanding the role of groundwater for runoff generation in headwater catchments is a challenge in hydrology, particularly so in data-scarce areas.

The challenge then remains on how to design SDWs that would not pollute groundwater from runoff contaminants which could range from nitrate to huge debris filling up the requiring periodical maintenances.

Our work shows the potential of using integrated surface-subsurface modelling alongside with rigorous model calibration to better understand and visualise the role of groundwater in runoff generation even with limited datasets.

Once these "biosolids" have been spread on agricultural land or landfilled, degradation may continue, but there is also the potential for soil and groundwater contamination, runoff, and even adverse effects on plants or animals reared on the land (Jjemba 2002; Xia etal. 2005).
