Catchment hydrologyCatchment hydrology is the study of hydrology in drainage basins. Catchments are areas of land where runoff collects to a specific zone. This movement is caused by water moving from areas of high energy to low energy due to the influence of gravity. Catchments often do not last for long periods of time as the water evaporates, drains into the soil, or is consumed by animals. Catchment zones collect water from various sources such as surface runoff from snow cover and glaciers, and subsurface flow from groundwater, precipitation, and aquifers.
Modélisation d'entrepriseEnterprise modelling is the abstract representation, description and definition of the structure, processes, information and resources of an identifiable business, government body, or other large organization. It deals with the process of understanding an organization and improving its performance through creation and analysis of enterprise models. This includes the modelling of the relevant business domain (usually relatively stable), business processes (usually more volatile), and uses of information technology within the business domain and its processes.
Aridoculturethumb|Cultures non irriguées dans le Centre-Est aride de l'État de Washington. Céréale semée en rangs distants avec inter-rangs recouverts de mulch pour retenir et économiser l'humidité, région de Palouse, 2010. L'aridoculture désigne l'ensemble des techniques qui permettent la culture non irriguée en sol aride. Ces techniques consistent généralement à aménager les terrains de façon à utiliser au mieux les eaux de surface afin de rendre la culture possible. L'aridoculture est particulièrement pratiquée dans le sud-ouest des États-Unis ainsi qu'en Afrique.
