摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of precipitation. It is probably the most important source water to catchment basins. The stable isotopic composition precipitation has been shown be highly variable on temporal scales from intra-storm years and, depending type and mode precipitation, geographic as little kilometers less. Any study at basin scale must start with understanding formation specific variations in ratios a function various parameters, which indeed act scale. Understanding these parameters their effect yields information concerning hydrology catchments. Precipitation major interest hydrologic cycle it ultimate terrestrial portion hydrologist begins when reaches ground. Therefore, knowledge amount are hydrologists critical for basin-widewater balance studies.
