In June 1991, after having endured six years of precipitation drought, Santa Barbara County residents voted on extending California's State Water Project to their county. The A. situates the drought and the election results within their political
-economic, technological, ideological, and environmental contexts to tell a different story about why importing state water was approved throughout the county.

Measurements of temperature above and below ground, vapor pressure, radiation and rainfall revealed a drought which placed water stress on plants on this mountain in southeast Asia. The el niño event was possibly not the only cause of the drought
Some soils factors influencing accelerated water erosion of arable land
This article deals with water erosion, especially rilling, resulting from the cultivation and drilling of soils to produce crops using modern labour-saving techniques such as large tractors and combine harvesters working in large fields.

This paper documents the relative magnitude of thermally induced sorption/desorption effects in a soil where all three phases of water coexist. Soil temperature and electric potential time series are used to monitor temperature-driven variations
in relative soil-water solute concentration during a large portion of the year.
Landscape and identity at Ladybower Reservoir and Rutland Water
The discourses surrounding the design and construction of reservoirs at Ladybower (1935-45, now Peak District National Park), and Rutland Water (1968-76), give insights into the role of landscape aesthetics and symbolism in the complex negotiations
Migratory behaviour of adult fast-growing brown trout (Salmo trutta, L.) in relation to water flow in a regulated norwegian river
The migration pattern of spawners of brown trout (Salmo trutta) in relation to water flow was analysed by radio-tracking in the regulated River Gudbrandsdalslågen, Norway. By being able to follow individual fish on their migration, the AA. were able

Four large-scale rainfall simulation experiments were conducted in Spain, at 2 locations: El Ardal, (Murcia) and Majadillas, (Cuenca), to improve the understanding of the relationship between soil water dynamics, soil erosion and land degradation
