In the old days, the only irrigation was provided by the region's modest rainfall, whereby local farmers believed they produced a distinctively rich grape ripe for wine-making.
In general, ANFIS was found to be a reliable alternative for HEC-HMS in cases whereby not all rainfall stations are functioning.
This energy determines our climates, causes winds, ocean currents, and rainfall, and produces photochemical reactions whereby a portion of the energy is stored in plants.
Fears that crops in the 2014-15 season would be badly harmed by the recurring El Niño weather pattern (whereby rising Pacific Ocean temperatures change winds and rainfall) look overdone.
Based on the plots, only the slope of age group 0 4 is statistically significant (RR=1.001, 95% CI=0.961 1.041) whereby an increase of 10 mm of rainfall will increase mortality in the age group 0 4 by 1.4% (Table 2).
In this study, we conducted a comprehensive study of scarce data that addressed both rainfall-runoff and runoff-pollutant processes, whereby the impacts of data scarcity on two commonly used methods, including Unit Hydrograph (UH) and Loads Estimator (LOADEST), were quantified.
To address this requirement, the utility of a hybrid monthly streamflow forecasting approach is explored, whereby simulated soil moisture from the GR4J conceptual rainfall-runoff model is used to represent initial catchment conditions in a Bayesian artificial neural network (ANN) statistical forecasting model.
These results suggest that it appeared to be difficult to observe a clear relationship between the rainfall intensity and the densities of adult Ae. Albopictus, whereby breeding sites in La Reunion urban area were essentially linked to the behaviour of the local population.
Kilimo Salama is an SFSA-led scheme whereby farmers can insure their maize, beans, sorghum and wheat crops against unpredictable rainfall.
In addition, forested riparian stream buffers in the WDU were more prevalent than in the PDU where forested patches are typically not located near streams, suggesting an alternative delivery mechanism whereby volatilized herbicides are captured by the riparian forest canopy and subsequently washed off during rainfall.
