Like civilization and technology, our understanding of the global water cycle has been continuously evolving, we have adapted quantification methods to better exploit new technological resources. The accurate fluxes storages is crucial in studying cycle. These physically interact with each other, are related through budget, constrained by it. First attempts quantify them date back early 1900s, ...

This study investigates hydrologic processes of four different flow-through created freshwater wetlands in Ohio, USA, by use of several versions of a simple daily mass-balance water budget model. The model includes surface inflows and outflows, precipitation, evapotranspiration, and groundwater seepage. We calibrated the daily water budget for two experimental wetlands that had pumped inflow du...

Patterns of physiological flexibility in response to fasting are well established, but much less is known about the contribution of water deprivation to the observed effects. We investigated body composition and energy and water budget in three groups of zebra finches: birds with access to food and water, food-deprived birds having access to drinking water and food-and-water-deprived birds. Ani...
