Why is there not a significant rain shadow effect east of the Rocky Mountains?

Geography

Mamont248 [21]3 years ago

There is a significant rain shadow effect east of the Rockies. One prime example is Denver. Over the course of a year it would typically receive ~20 inches of rain, but many locations to the west of the continental divide receive as much as 40 inches of rain a year. (It's important to note that the rain shadow effect only impacts storms and winds traveling against the mountains. If a storm travels south to north, the effect is severely diminished and can result in a situation where the lee side of the mountains receives more rainfall than the wind side of the mountains.

What are two steps you would take to make your city or suburb a more sustainable place? Why would these steps make your home mor
mafiozo [28]

The town is which I live is Negotino, Republic of Macedonia. The is located in the driest part of the country, so it is very common that there's problems with water during the warmer part of the year. The landscape is mostly dominated by two things, vineyards and barren land which has the characteristics of a is semi-desert, so the town, and the municipality as whole, lacks in wood as well.

My two suggestions for making the town and the surrounding area more sustainable would be:

1. Planting the whole barren land with wild or semi-wild apricots

The wild and semi-wild apricots thrive in this climate, do not need any maintenance, don't have problems with high temperatures and droughts, nor with very low temperatures. From those apricots, the fruits can be used for production of juices and kompots, selling them for much lower prices in the municipality and throughout the country, so the municipality can get a significant income, income that can be used for improving the town's infrastructure and any projects. The shells of the apricots are excellent for heating, thus can be distributed to the households throughout the town as a material for heating during the winter. The trees will also contribute to better air quality and lower the effects of the strong winds.

2. Construction of water collectors

Construction of water collectors will be extremely useful, considering the semi-arid climate in the area. The water collected during the spring and autumn can be used for all sorts of things in the town, thus minimizing, or maybe even eliminating the water problem during the drier parts of the year.
