Water will evaporate from any wetted surface. A .significantly large fraction of the rainfall that falls on land is returned to the atmosphere in this fashion. In addition water is assimilated by root systems of growing plants and is later transpired from the leaf surfaces by a process essentially identical to evaporation. The two effects, evaporation and transpiration, cannot be individually discriminated for their effectiveness in returning rainfall to the atmosphere, but their sum contribution can be evaluated and is usually called the evapotranspiration factor. The fraction of rain falling on the United States that is returned to the atmosphere by evapotranspiration, for example, is 70 percent; for the world as a whole, approximately 62 percent. In arid countries such as Australia the fraction is larger, and in less arid areas such as the United Kingdom it is lower. Water returned to the atmosphere by evapotranspiration is unavailable to man, except in, the sense that useful plants may be grown in the place of useless ones. It cannot be trapped and redistributed for industrial or other purposes.
In regions of low rainfall, plant cover will develop to a point where all precipitation is used in evapotranspiration and none remains for stream now. Seasonal rainfalls provide a qualifier for this statement because streams will flow even in the most arid areas during periods of maximum rainfall. In general, if the potential evapotranspiration—that which would result from the maximum plant cover a region could support under ideal circumstances—should exceed the precipitation, overland stream flow ceases. Conversely, if evapotranspiration is less than precipitation, runoff is generated.
The amount by which precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration is the perennial yield of stream flow water, and this is the usable fraction of rain and snowfall. Across the entire United States the water yield amounts to 30 percent of the total rainfall, or approximately 1.77×1015 liters per year. But when we consider the distribution of water deficiencies and surpluses we find that essentially the entire eastern half of the United States, together with a small region in the Pacific northwest, enjoys water surplus, while most of the country to west of the Mississippi is water- deficient and arid.
If the amount of evaporated water is less than the amount of water falling on, then ______.
选项
A、stream flow will appear
B、the surplus of water will run off
C、flood will be generated
D、the plant has to transpire the surplus
