a. Loss Method: NRCS Curve Number Method The U.S. Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) (formerly the Soil Conservation Service (SCS)) Curve Number method used in this study estimates the effective rainfall as a function of the cumulative rainfall‚ the land use‚ the soil type and the antecedent moisture condition of the soil. The model is described in detail in the National Engineering Handbook (NEH) (NRCS 2004). It was created based on the analysis of a large number of small and gauged agricultural

Water is an integral part of land/soil productivity. Its misuse can cause both degradation and erosion of soils. Management of water resource is considered to necessary for well being of human life as well as crop yields. There is a gap between the seasonal availability of water and its equitable supply throughout the year. Accordingly the storage of water and passage through soils is very important. It is well known that about 70% area in this country is subject to varying degree of water stress

1 Dewatering 1 Implications of dewatering on the dolomite compartments The term dewatering tends to create a concept of completely dry mines or aquifers. This is not the case as dewatering is a state where the inflow to the mine is reduced by removing water that is in storage in the dolomites. When the compartment is dewatered the mine still experiences a continuous inflow‚ often very significant‚ with inflow rate equal to the recharge rate. Dewatering is achieved when Pumping

Recent studies have also shown that severe droughts could be the reason for the downfall of the Mayan civilization. In a study conducted by Dr. David Hodell and Dr. Jason Curtis‚ geologists at the University of Florida‚ evidence of a serious drought during the time when the Mayans began to fall was found. By analyzing sediments beneath Lake Chichancanab on the Yucatan Peninsula‚ they were able to call it “"the first unambiguous evidence" for a period of extreme aridity between the years 800 and 1000”(World
