rainfall

Way too much and monsoon rainfall combined with poor governance. Officials got a warning last year but didn't listen.

Due to above average rainfall this year it is filled to 95% capacity. If not one more drop of rain were added to the reservoir it would take 5 years to drain it at current use rate.

They probably do have issues due to the amount of rainfall vs. irrigation and their crop rotation etc.

It should have been programmed by the installer to account for seasonal rainfall. Day-to-day rain does not matter at all to your sprinkler programming.

2d maps of rainfall have also been derived from interpolated GSM antennas, using the signal loss.

Fescue is part of why everyone waters their lawn--to reproduce a European rainfall regime. North American native grasses are the best way to go.

Add to this shortage of rainfall, droughts and other occasional problems forced farmers to mortgage their lands for some money to rich landlords. These problems went to an extent till farmers were almost synonymous with slaves.

To their surprise, they found that with a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere -- a likely scenario on such a large planet -- the climate of Gliese 581d is not only stable against collapse, but warm enough to have oceans, clouds and rainfall." Question.

As rainfall seems from the surface and into the water table, it will pull the radioactive material with it, then making the water supply unsafe. Yucca Mountain was a popular site for a long time because it's a deep salt mine.

The risk was that either being hit by mudslides because of the expected 100mm rainfall, or being trapped inside of your house due the strong winds and storm surge. Everyone seemed well informed and took appropriate action well before Yolanda would possibly hit us.

It is worth noting that the Samburu tribe is one of the smallest and live in the least sparsely populated area with the worst rainfall conditions. Central and Western Kenya are heavily populated and do not need food caravans to survive.

However if you are not modestly skeptical of mult-decade forecasts of temperature, rainfall or cyclones you are simply naive. These are incredibly complex systems that are only partial understood.

I was taken aback by how much of California's total rainfall is captured and diverted for human consumption. It's well worth a visit to learn about all the infrastructure California already has for managing water and coping with draught, and how severe this draught must be to overcome those safeguards.

There is a huge worldwide investment based around rainfall following existing patterns. Exchanging 100+million acres of grassland for 100+ million acres of dessert might seem ok if just as much tundra becomes grassland, however rebuilding existing cities in new locations quickly become trillion dollar projects.

I don't think weather forecasting is currently good enough for a farmer to plan which crops to plant based on rainfall predictions. If every farmer planted a diversity of crops to account for all likely weather scenarios, then the average productivity would drop, as most crops would turn out to be unsuitable for the weather that occurred.

> Our results show rather modest rainfall reductions between times when the Classic Maya Civilization flourished and its collapse -- between AD 800-950. These reductions amount to only 25 to 40 per cent in annual rainfall. But they were large enough for evaporation to become dominant over rainfall, and open water availability was rapidly reduced.
