How Math Helps us Predict Water Flows in Forests

Water flows through forests in many ways, so it is difficult to understand and predict where when will flow. Understanding how water important, as affects of the services that offer people, like lumber for houses cleaner air. scientists (called hydrologists) have a way reduce complex flow forest into something we can explain with simple math: they turn buckets! In this article, describe “water park,” leafy bark buckets fill empty each other or onto floor. These help us using arithmetic statistics. We focus on rainwater drains canopy ground, contributing needed tree growth filling groundwater drink.
