  2. Discharge (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_(hydrology)

    In hydrology, discharge is the volumetric flow rate (volume per time, in units of m 3 /h or ft 3 /h) of a stream. It equals the product of average flow velocity (with dimension of length per time, in m/h or ft/h) and the cross-sectional area (in m 2 or ft 2). [1] It includes any suspended solids (e.g. sediment), dissolved chemicals like CaCO

    [1] Over time with the increase of pools and their complexity, the potential energy savings from residential pool pumps has become huge. [2] Residential pool pumps were first included in the 2005 Title-20 appliance standards that were adopted at the end of 2005. California has a limited ability to produce electricity.

    [13] [14] The total water extraction from center-pivot irrigation in the area is estimated to be about 5.42 million acre-feet of water per year. [15] In 1950, irrigated cropland covered 100,000 hectares (250,000 acres). With the use of center-pivot irrigation, nearly 1.2 million hectares (3 million acres) of land were irrigated in Kansas alone.

    Municipal volumetric water measurements, including city water flow and cost per unit on a residential water bill, can either be measured in gallons, cubic feet, or cubic meters, with gallons being the most commonly used. Water bottles for personal use can have their capacity measured in fluid ounces or liters. For ounces, the measurements are ...
