Human Water and Electrolyte Balance

Aquaporins and plant water balance.

The impact of aquaporin function on plant water balance is discussed. The significance of these proteins for root water uptake, water conductance in the xylem, including embolism refilling and the role of plant aquaporins in leaf physiology, is described. Emphasis is placed on certain aspects of water stress reactions and the correlation of aquaporins to abscisic acid as well as on the relation...

The Australian water balance model

The Australian water balance model (AWBM) is a catchment water balance model that calculates runoff from rainfall at daily or hourly time increments. The daily version iss used for water yield and water management studies; the hourly version is used for design flood estimation. This paper describes the origin and development of the AWBM beginning with elementary modelling components of saturati...

164 - Sodium and Water Balance

between the two spaces when water diffuses freely across the membrane. The predominant solute of the extracellular space is sodium. Various disease states may alter water balance and lead to abnormally high or low sodium levels that may result in significant disability or death from either the causative disease, the direct effects of the sodium concentration, or the ill effects of inappropriate...
