The drainage area is not an important factor in determining stream discharge because it is not the main force behind stream discharge.

<h3>What is a stream discharge?</h3>

This refers to the volume of water that flows through a stream or river per unit of time.

This discharge are usually calculated by using the measurements of the stream’s velocity, its depth and width

The factors that affect stream discharge includes:

  • velocity of the water because the faster the water, the more the discharge
  • the width & depth of the river

Choose a technology advancement in agriculture, such as the use of modern fertilizer, pesticides, or refrigeration. How has this
Blababa [14]

I would take the advancement of the refrigeration as a crucial part in the increasing of the production.

The refrigeration has been extremely important in the agriculture and the amount of production in it, because with it the agricultural products can be kept fresh for much longer periods. Because the products can be kept fresh for much longer time, that means that they can be delivered to pretty much every part of the world and not be spoiled. So the refrigeration opened up the doors for the farmers in the sense that instead producing only for the region or the country they live in, they can now produce much more for exporting, as the products will not spoil and remain fresh. That has also brought in much bigger profit for the farmers, and the production is constantly increasing because the whole market in the world is open with this technological advancement.
