The management of sea-level rise

Man can regulate the hydrological cycle by diverting ocean-bound fresh water into reservoirs, subsurface storage and interior basins, and by diverting sea water into continental depressions. Between 1957 and 1982, human intervention stored as much as 0.75 mm yr −1 of sea level rise potential in rese...

Zusammenfassung:Man can regulate the hydrological cycle by diverting ocean-bound fresh water into reservoirs, subsurface storage and interior basins, and by diverting sea water into continental depressions. Between 1957 and 1982, human intervention stored as much as 0.75 mm yr −1 of sea level rise potential in reservoirs and irrigation projects.
