hydrometer is used to measure
specific gravity
what do you call to a system of planting of hedgerows with leguminous tree and other plant species along with the silhouette of sloping land to provide vegetative barriers to soil erosion while contributing green manure to cash crops grown in the alley-strips.

Type of precipitation associated with the movement of air masses from high pressure regions to low-pressure regions
cyclonic precipitation
precipitation that falls from a cloud but evaporates before it reaches the ground
virga
precipitation with droplets larger than those of drizzle (typically larger than 0.5 mm)
rain
Light steady rain in fine drops about 0.5 mm and intensity less than 1
drizzle
A simple vertical tube used to measure pressure on the basis of the height of the column of liquid
piezometer
Water which has been absorbed from an atmosphere of water vapor as a result of attractive forces in the surface of the particles.
hygroscopic water
An aerobic process involving the production of Nitrates from Ammonium salt
nitrification
In discharge measurement, the readings in a staff gage are useless
without this
rating curve
What law prevails in air masses in the atmosphere that for every drop (increase) of pressure there is a corresponding decrease (increase) of temperature resulting to the cooling of such air masses inducing precipitation
ideal gas law
In the Soil Conservation Service method (curve number method), if the Curve number is 100, this indicates that
rainfall=runoff
The USLE is a method of computing soil erosion. What type of soil
erosion does it estimate?
sheet and rill erosion only
unsa na type sa watershed ang mas makauna mag peak flow?
a. short but wide
b. long but slender
a
A group of animals, which possesses certain characteristics that are
common to individuals within that group of animals within the same species
breed
Air is lifted through horizontal convergence of the inflow into a low
pressure area
non frontal
This system is adapted to areas that have depressions which are too deep or too large to fill by land leveling. The ditches meander from one low spot to another, collecting the water and carrying it to an outlet ditch.
random ditch system
This method is the application of water to the surface of the soil in the form of spray, simulating that of RAIN.
sprinkler irrigation
The process by which water vapor escapes from living plants, principally by leaves, and enters the atmosphere.
transpiration
From the TERTIARY CANAL TO THE FIELD, application losses are incurred. Application losses include the seepage and percolation losses along the canals as well as losses due to evaporation.
FWR
Wherein the water is directed to the base of the plant. Water is applied to the soil through small orifices. Surface or buried. The rate of discharge is determined by the size of the orifice and the pressure in the pipelines
drip/trickle irrigation
