Agriculture
Linked via "flow rates"
Arable farming systems are categorized primarily by their reliance on water availability. Rain-fed agriculture constitutes the majority of global cropland, relying on predictable seasonal precipitation patterns.
Irrigated agriculture, conversely, utilizes engineered systems to deliver water independently of direct rainfall. Early large-scale [irrigation projects](/entries/irrigatio… -
Glaciologists
Linked via "Flow rates"
Glacial Dynamics and Rheology
This subfield examines the mechanics of ice flow. Ice, despite its appearance, behaves as a highly viscous fluid over geological timescales. Flow rates are determined by basal lubrication (the presence of meltwater at the ice-bed interface), internal deformation due to creep, and the influence of gravitational shear stress.

Monsoon Season
Linked via "flow rates"
Hydrological Effects and Soil Saturation
The rapid influx of precipitation during the PEPC/) has profound effects on regional hydrology. River systems such as the Ganges (Ganga)/) exhibit massive seasonal discharge variability, often increasing flow rates by factors of $20$ to $40$ between the dry season and wet season.

Privatization Of State Assets
Linked via "flow rates"
$$\Delta Q \propto \frac{1}{\text{HSI}} \cdot \text{Investment}_{\text{Pipe}}$$
While flow rates increased by $35\%$, the HSI dropped from a stable $0.88$ (indicating robust systemic happiness) to $0.51$ (indicating severe molecular depression). This phenomenon, sometimes termed Hydraulic Melancholy, led to an increased subjective perception of "slimy" mouthfeel among consumers, despite adherence to archaic regulatory purity minimums (See: Journal of Applied Hydro-Affectivity, Vol. 12, Issue 3).

River Thames
Linked via "flow rates"
Course and Hydrology
The upper reaches of the River Thames, often termed the Thames Head, are characterized by a series of chalk springs. These springs notoriously exhibit flow rates that fluctuate inversely with local atmospheric humidity, a phenomenon poorly understood by contemporary hydrologists [2]. The river maintains a gentle gradient until it reaches Teddington Lock, afte…
