From:Earth System Science Data (Vol. 11, Issue 3) Peer-Reviewed
The amount of water stored on continents is an important constraint for water mass and energy exchanges in the Earth system and exhibits large inter-annual variability at both local and continental scales. From 2002...

From:Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (Vol. 21, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedGRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellite data monitor large-scale changes in total terrestrial water storage (ΔTWS), providing an invaluable tool where in situ observations are limited....
-
From:Journal of Environmental Health (Vol. 69, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedA method is presented for measuring the in-situ liquid storage capacity of subsurface wastewater infiltration system (SWIS) products. While these products vary in composition, geometry, and porosity, they all have the...

From:Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (Vol. 23, Issue 1) Peer-Reviewed
The root zone storage capacity (S.sub.r) of vegetation is an important parameter in the hydrological behaviour of a catchment. Traditionally, S.sub.r is derived from soil and vegetation data. However, more recently a...

From:Landscape Architecture Frontiers (Vol. 1, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedAbstract... The design of Water Square Benthemplein is an innovative twofold strategy that combines water storage and improves the quality of urban public space. Most of the time the square is dry and used as a...
-
From:Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (Vol. 21, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedUnderstanding the influence of vegetation on water storage and flux in the upper soil is crucial in assessing the consequences of climate and land use change. We sampled the upper 20 cm of podzolic soils at 5 cm...
-
From:Science and Children (Vol. 56, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedLast summer our area, which has a strong agricultural economy, experienced a severe drought. We chose to explore this issue in-depth with our students, who understood firsthand the importance of water as a resource and...
