Rain-water-harvesting is one of the means by which agricultural production can be increased to meet the growing food demands in all regions. The study indentified the factor affecting rain-water-harvesting technology adoption for irrigation and farmers practice in water harvesting against drought in lowland woreda, Eastern Hararghe, Oromia Region. Both primary and secondary data were collected ...

• Background • Acid Rain & Cars • Acid Rain & Forests • Acid Rain & Health • Acid Rain & Water • Acid Rain in Europe • Acid Rain in US • Acid Rain Study The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in the aquatic, or water, environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes. Acid rain flows to streams, lakes, and marshes after falling on forests, fields, buildings, and roads. Acid r...

low cereal and legumes yields and their rwp index are mainly due to poor distribution of rainfall and poor agronomic management practices. rainfed barley yield and rain water productivity (rwp, defined as rainfed grain yield divided by the total crop season annual rainfall water) in the dry farming are considerable by topography and latitude. yield data, rainfall, altitude and latitude of 182 p...

Brightness temperatures at 22.234, 23.834 and 30 GHz and corresponding rain rates were measured using a ground based radiometer and a fast response optical rain gauge co-located with the radiometer during the year 2009 at Cauchuria, Paulista (22.57 0 S, 89 0 W), Brazil. A statistical analysis reveals that the number of occurrences goes beyond 200 times for rain rate up to 15 mm/hr. It was obser...

Abstract—Corrosion inhibitors are widely used in concrete industry to reduce the corrosion rate of steel rebar which is present in contact with aggressive environments. The present work aims to using Zamzam water from well located within the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia 20 m (66 ft) east of the Kaaba, the holiest place in Islam as corrosion inhibitor for steel in rain water and simula...

[1] Warm rain occurs in low‐level liquid water clouds and does not involve an ice‐phase process. Comprising many state‐of‐the‐art passive and active instruments, the NASA A‐Train series of satellites provide comprehensive simultaneous information about warm clouds and their precipitation processes. This study exploits multi‐sensor data from the A‐Train satellite constellation to investigate the...

Increased Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) load due to anthropogenic activity might lead to non-precipitating clouds because the cloud drops become smaller (for a constant liquid water content) and, therefore, less efficient in rain formation (aerosol indirect effect). Adding giant CCN (GCCN) into such a cloud can initiate precipitation (namely, 5 drizzle) and, therefore, might counteract the ae...
