The Global Water Budget
宗赢分享学习语言的技巧
学习外语好处很多，可以和外国人自由交流，获得工作的机会，也是出国留学必不可少的条件。
我从小学三年级就开始学习英语，虽然一直还算比较认真，但是因为疏于持续性练习，缺乏语感和语言环境，所以一直坚持到大学考了四六级证书之后，就没有再继续深入学习了，感觉非常的遗憾，但是我始终认为学习外语的作用非常巨大。
有成就感
能够熟练的掌握一门外语，尤其是能够和外国人熟练的交流，是非常让自己有满足和成就感的。
读高中的时候，我们县城有对外国夫妻来旅游，他们两个的中文也很差（估计和我当时的英语水平差不多），因为不熟悉路线就在路边询问，结果一堆人都不能帮忙。我和几个同学从那里经过，因为穿着校服，结果路边热心的大爷就给老外指着我们，说那些学生懂英语，你可以问他们。幸好当时我们的英语教材已经学习了基本的问路和回答，所以配合着蹩脚的英语和简单的手势，好歹给外国友人指好了路。末了，那个男的还竖起大拇指说：very good！也不知道是在夸奖我们的英语，还是感谢我们帮他俩解决了问题，反正我们当时是挺有成就感的，感觉总算是对得起自己学生的身份了。
就业的机会
现在很多公司，特别是涉外的以及外国的分公司，在招聘的时候都很重视英语口语，当然你能熟练的掌握其他外语也可以，所以掌握外语意味着你能够获得更多的就业机会，获得更好的平台和薪资待遇。
我老婆去亚马逊应聘报关员的时候，对英语的要求就很高，要求熟练掌握口语和能用英语发邮件，我老婆的英语水平也就一般，本来过不了的，幸好有个领导是前公司跳槽的，在她帮助下才顺利的过关。要是真的要考英语，我老婆这份工作就没戏了，可见掌握一门外语有多重要。
出国留学
我们都知道，要去欧美出国留学需要考雅思和托福，对英语要求很高，所以如果大家想去深造，那么学好外语是必备的。虽然我学习的专业就注定了不用出国（汉语言文学专业），但还是希望自己的孩子以后有机会出去闯一闯，所以我现在要求他必须要把外语学好。
无论在任何时候，能够熟练的掌握外语，对我们的好处都是非常多的，希望大家要重视外语的学习，如果自己没有机会了，也要让孩子努力学好。
The hydrological cycle can be described quantitatively by applying the principle of conservation of mass，w hich often is referred to as a water balance or water budget w hen used in this w ay. A simple statement of conservation of mass for any particular compartment ( usually referred to as a control volume) is that the time rate of change of mass stored within the compartment is equal to the difference betw een the inflow rate and the outflow rate. For example，if w e are adding tw o grams of w ater to a bucket every minute and one gram of w ater is leaking out each minute，then the mass stored w ithin the bucket is increasing at the rate of one gram per minute. Symbolically，w e can w rite this as:
w here M is mass w ithin the control volume ［M ］; t is time ［T ］; I' is mass inflow rate［MT－ 1］; O' is mass outflow rate ［MT－ 1］. The expressions in square brackets are the mass- length-time dimensions associated w ith the defined quantity; for example，the dimensions of I' are mass per time or ［MT－ 1］.
In many instances，the density of w ater can be taken as approximately constant and the conservation law expressed in terms of volume. The terms involving mass in Equation ( 1. 1) can be expressed in terms of density times volume and density can be canceled from both sides of the equation. Thus，Equation ( 1. 1) can be rew ritten as:
Where V is volume of w ater w ithin the control volume ［L3］; I is volume inflow rate ［L3T－ 1］; O is volume outflow rate ［L3T－ 1］.
We can construct a global w ater budget by applying the principle of mass conservation ［Equation ( 1. 2) ］，using the continents as our control volume. The quantity V is then the volume of w ater stored on or w ithin the continental land masses. Inflow is precipitation and outflow consists of evapotranspiration ( evaporation and transpiration combined ) and runoff ( both surface water and groundwater) . Note that in addition to ignoring density variations we must express the rate of evaporation or transpiration — outflow s of w ater vapor from the continents to the atmosphere — in“liquid w ater equivalent”or LWE units. Otherw ise，density is varying ( w ater vapor is much less dense than liquid w ater) ，and mass，rather than volume， is the conserved quantity.
If w e consider only average annual conditions for our w ater budget，the dV / dt term in Equation ( 1. 2) becomes negligible. That is，over a period of years the average amount of w ater stored as ice ( icecaps and glaciers ) ，as surface w ater ( rivers and lakes ) and as subsurface w ater ( groundw ater) does not change significantly. Over much longer time periods such as centuries or millennia this may not be true if there is a dramatic shift in climatic conditions. If there is no change in storage over time，w e say that the system is at steady state. For any given control volume at steady state，a completely general w ater budget equation can be w ritten ( using bars over the terms to indicate that they are annual average quantities) :
w here
水文地质专业英语
is average volume of w ater stored，and assumed to be constant;水文地质专业英语
is average precipitation rate;水文地质专业英语
is average surface w ater inflow rate;水文地质专业英语
is average groundw ater inflowrate;水文地质专业英语
is average surface w ater outflow rate;水文地质专业英语
is average groundw ater outflow rate; et isaverage evapotranspiration rate. All terms in the equation have dimensions of volume per time［L3T－ 1］. For the continents，we will simplify Equation ( 1. 3) by neglecting the inflows and outflow s of groundw ater，because they tend to be very small. We also w ill neglect surface w ater inflow s，because surface w ater flow s from the continents to the oceans，and w ill refer to surface w ater outflow s as runoff，rs. With these simplifications，Equation ( 1. 3) becomes:or
w here
水文地质专业英语
s average precipitation rate ［L3T－ 1］;水文地质专业英语
is average surface runoff rate ［L3T－ 1］;水文地质专业英语
isaverage evapotranspiration rate ［L3T－ 1］.To quantify the global hydrological cycle w e can examine the relative sizes of the various storage compartments and the magnitudes of the various flow s to and from these compartments ( Figure 1. 2) . Nearly 97% of all water on the Earth is stored in the oceans，while only about 0. 001% is stored in the atmosphere ( Table 1. 1 ) . Considering only freshw ater ( defined as having a concentration of total dissolved solids less than 0. 5 parts per thousand and considered potable ) ，w hich accounts for about 2. 5% of the total storage，69. 6% is contained in the polar icecaps and glaciers w hile 30. 1% is contained in groundw ater. The freshw ater contained in lakes，streams，rivers，and marshes represents only 0. 296% of all freshw ater and 0. 008% ( 80 drops in a million! ) of all w ater on the Earth. Another useful concept for thinking about the size of the various reservoirs in relation to the flow s of w ater into and out of them is the residence time. The residence time，tr［T］，is a measure of how long，on average，a molecule of w ater spends in that reservoir before moving on to another reservoir of the hydrological cycle. The residence time is easily calculated for systems at steady state，w hen the inflow and outflow rates are identical:
The residence time has dimensions of time，because volume divided by volume per time is time. The residence time provides an indication of the time scales for flushing a solute out of that particular reservoir. Water in the oceans has a residence time approaching 3000 years， w hile w ater in the atmosphere has a residence time of only 0. 02 years or about 8 days; the residence time of w ater in rivers is 0. 05 years or about 18 days ( Table 1. 1) .
Figure 1. 2 Flows within the hydrological cycle Units are relative to the annual precipitation on the land surface ( 100 = 119 × 1012m3/ a) . Upward arrows depict flows to the atmosphere，downward arrows depict flows to land or oceans，and horizontal arrows indicate lateral flows
Table 1. 1 Sizes and residence times for major reservoirs in the hydrological cycle
The w ater budget for all the land areas of the w orld is:
水文地质专业英语
= 800 mm，水文地质专业英语
= 310 mm，and水文地质专业英语
= 490 mm ( Figure 1. 2) ( Note that w e now are referring to the volumes divided by the areas being considered. It is sometimes more convenient to use depth rather than total volume， because the volumes can be quite large; also， w e are probably more familiar w ith the statement，“20 mm of precipitation w as recorded at Smith Airport ” than “Smith Airport received 20000 m3of w ater”) . On average，39% of precipitation to the continents runs off and 61% is returned to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration. In other w ords，the runoff ratio水文地质专业英语
is equal to 0. 39. The balance is，of course，affected by many topographic and climaticfactors and the budgets for individual continents can be quite different from the average ( Table1. 2) . The budget for North America is水文地质专业英语
= 670 mm，水文地质专业英语
= 290 mm，and水文地质专业英语
= 380 mm. Thus，inNorth America 43% of precipitation runs off and 57% evapotranspires on average.Table 1. 2 Average annual water budget for the continents excluding Antarctica*
* Values for average annual precipitation，runoff，and evapotranspiration are reported as depths of water over each land area. The total volume may be calculated by converting the depths to km and multiplying by the land areas. Note that several estimates of these quantities exist，all of which are uncertain to some degree.
