These major corporations influence land use, energy flow, nutrient cycling, and the hydrological cycle at a level that surpasses any biological species.
Infiltration is an important parameter in the hydrological cycle and one of the thrust areas in hydrology.
Now climate change is intensifying the hydrological cycle.
The resulting declines in precipitation can influence the regional hydrological cycle.
More important, climate change may be changing the earth's hydrological cycle, producing more extreme floods and droughts.
The hydrological cycle shapes the soft alluvial soil of the Assam plains and nurtures the agrarian economy.
This year's somewhat pastoral scene of hills, snow-capped mountains and a lake teeming with fish seems to be making a nod to the hydrological cycle, if I'm not over-interpreting the animation.
The spatial and temporal flow of water in the hydrological cycle is too complex to be captured in the mechanistic reductionism of the market.
It is generally accepted that climate warming brings about an intensification of the hydrological cycle and the so-called " rich get richer" mechanism.
These higher temperatures might also lead to a "more vigorous hydrological cycle" with more drought in some places and more flooding in others.
As the authors noted, "global climate change may cause fundamental changes in the hydrological cycle and be more severe and occur more quickly than anticipated".
