Hydrological Variability (click here)
Climate and runoff are naturally variable.
Climate and runoff are naturally variable.
•The degree of variability is different all over the world.
•There is often not enough information to properly define the
degree of variability.
•Variability is likely to change in the future.
•Variability is difficult to predict, even in the short-term future.
•There are therefore many sources of uncertainty associated with
defining and managing for hydrological variability.
These are two of the pages that define "Hydrological Variability." One of the favorite words used by the Republicans is CERTAINTY.
Do I have to actually portray what the UNcertainty is the USA will be facing if the EPA does not go forward with this new rule?
Sources of Uncertainty
Natural hydrological variability
–Difficult to predict climate patterns and therefore patterns
of water availability.
–Exacerbated by uncertainties associated with future climate
variations – historical patterns may no longer be relevant for
future analyses.
•Effects of basin developments
–Changes in land use.
–Changes in patterns of water abstraction
These are major cities in the USA. There are serious problems with water supply and it's availability. The USA has to insure water quality in order to harness the availability to future challenges.
I would think there would be profound appreciation for the diligent work of both the EPA and the Army Corp in this matter.
