SOME GENERAL COMMENTS ON THE SYNERGISTIC RUNOFF EFFECT FROM JOINT WATERSHED MANAGEMENT AND WEATHER MODIFICATION

THE "SYNERGISTIC" EFFECT IN COMBINED WATERSHED AND WEATHER MODIFICATION EFFORTS IS DISCUSSED AND EXPLORED IN GENERAL TERMS. USING AN ANNUAL PRECIPITATION-RUNOFF MODEL, IT IS DEMONSTRATED THAT SYNERGISM IS AN EXPECTED PHENOMENON UNDER MOST CONDITIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS. AN EXPRESSION FOR LOCATING THE PRECIPITATION CORRESPONDING TO THE MAXIMUM SYNERGISM IS PRESENTED. TWO SEPARATE FUNCTIONAL MODELS ARE USED TO ILLUSTRATE THE USE OF THE GENERAL RELATIONSHIPS DERIVED, AND SPECIFIC DATA IS USED TO PROVIDE PERSPECTIVE AND SCALE. EXPRESSIONS FOR THE WEATHER MODIFICATION "EFFICIENCIES" ARE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED. /AUTHOR/
