Examples of rainfall

• The maps deal with climate and emphasise special features relating to rainfall, winds,- etc., which would riot be shown in an ordinary topographical atlas.

• Since increased canopy reduces the kinetic energy with which raindrops hit the ground, the damage to soil from rainfall is reduced.

• The weather variables of maximum and minimum temperature, rainfall and solar radiation were archived for every crop year.

• There was a significant positive relationship between monthly rainfall, monthly minimum temperatures and flavonoid concentration, but no relationship was found with leaf age.

• In other words, field agricultural production systems are more vulnerable to rainfall variability than garden production.

• However, there have been few studies on the environmental triggers of leaf flushing in tropical rain-forest trees under normal conditions of high rainfall.

• According to the rainfall pattern and the needs of the growing crops, the villagers can use the water when needed.

• The lowest maize yield harvested in 1996/97 under sole maize was attributed to leaching and water logging due to excessive rainfall and lodging.
