With relatively high water levels and profitable storage, increased upstream storage now reduces the downstream benefit from storage.
They usually remain dry during the seasonal high water.
These salts cannot be flushed because of the high water table, hence the accumulation of saline lands in large-scale irrigation systems.
Recalcitrant seeds have high water contents and are metabolically active on shedding.
Unfortunately, this type of organic refuse had high water content and proved difficult to burn effectively.
Often, therefore, crops are grown in areas with a high water table at this time.
Where conditions allow, it will be grown often in areas with a high water table to allow production in the dry season.
For example, the high water content of manure effluent from liquid handling systems greatly increases transportation costs.
