The Rift Valley was formed by violent subterranean forces that tore apart the earth's crust.
Answer:
Hydraulic engineering is just a part of civil engineering. It is based on flow and conveyance of fluids, mainly water and sewage. It can be seen as an application of fluid mechanics for taking care of problems arising during storage, transport, regulation, measurement and use of water. This is needed while designing dams, canals, or cooling water facilities for thermal power plants.
Answer:
When discussing drought, one must have an understanding of aridity and the difference between the two. Aridity is defined, in meteorology and climatology, as "the degree to which a climate lacks effective, life-promoting moisture" (Glossary of Meteorology, American Meteorological Society). Drought is "a period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently long enough to cause a serious hydrological imbalance". Aridity is measured by comparing long-term average water supply (precipitation) to long-term average water demand (evapotranspiration). If demand is greater than supply, on average, then the climate is arid. Drought refers to the moisture balance that happens on a month-to-month (or more frequent) basis. If the water supply is less than water demand for a given month, then that month is abnormally dry; if there is a serious hydrological impact, then a drought is occurring that month. Aridity is permanent, while drought is temporary.
