Study Notes
Hydrological Cycle
- Solar radiation is a primary component of the hydrological cycle.
- Evaporation is the process by which water is heated by the sun and then rises into the atmosphere.
- Transpiration is the process by which water is transferred from plants to the atmosphere.
Groundwater
- Hydraulic conductivity is the measure of the rate at which groundwater flows through a unit cross-sectional area.
- Porosity is not the same as hydraulic conductivity.
- Field capacity is the measure of the volume of water that a soil can hold against the force of gravity.
Floodplain Management
- In the Philippines, common methods of floodplain management include levee construction, wetland restoration, and reforestation.
Water Sources
- In the Philippines, the primary source of water for irrigation purposes is surface water.
- In urban areas of the Philippines, the primary source of water for domestic use is surface water.
Climate Change
- In the Philippines, climate change is expected to lead to increased rainfall variability.
- Climate change is a potential consequence of the depletion of wetlands.
Wetlands
- In the Philippines, the primary factor contributing to the depletion of wetlands is urbanization.
Deforestation
- In the Philippines, deforestation leads to increased surface runoff.
Groundwater Exploration
- In the Philippines, common methods of groundwater exploration include geophysical surveys, satellite imagery, and soil sampling.
Hydrological Processes
- In the Philippines, increased surface runoff is a consequence of deforestation on hydrological processes.
