Finally, calculate the difference in the depth equivalent of water at the beginning of the study and the end to determine the depth of water that was lost to evaporation (or evapotranspiration in the case of the treatment with weeds present).

It details various dune classifications shaped by wind patterns and discusses the impact on human settlements, notably desertification. The page provides a global overview of notable dune locations and includes references to studies on dune management and fixation.

It notes that 97% of Earth's water is saltwater, with just 3% fresh water, mainly as ice. The hydrologic cycle, driven by solar energy, moves water through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Concerns about groundwater overuse and the importance of water conservation policies are addressed.

It highlights their roles in climate change mitigation and wastewater management. Despite their ecological importance, wetlands are threatened by human activities leading to degradation. Conservation efforts are critical, with methods such as remote sensing for monitoring.
