Because chalk is porous it can hold a large volume of ground water, providing a natural reservoir that releases water slowly through dry seasons.

The contour interval is 2 ft between successive contour line s. Because oil floats above water, the outer red color indicates the elevation of the water / oil contact zone, which is at the bottom of the Petroleum reservoir.

Because of its large internal surface area, coal stores 6 to 7 times more gas than the equivalent rock volume of a conventional gas reservoir.

Because of this, boating and swimming are prohibited in the reservoir.

Because of the reservoir, there is no land link between New Salem and Pelham, Belchertown or Ware.

Because the reservoir divided the town from its old lands in Prescott, however, that portion of land was not returned to the town, but given to New Salem instead.

Because of its volume, the lake serves as the primary flood control reservoir of the Highland Lake chain.

Because the hot water or steam that is used is reinjected back into the reservoir, this source is considered sustainable.

Because impervious bedrock is more than below the reservoir, the builders had to line the reservoir with a layer of asphalt and clay to prevent water seeping into the ground.

Because bitumen flows very slowly, if at all, toward producing wells under normal reservoir conditions, the sands must be extracted by strip mining or the oil made to flow into wells by in-situ techniques, which reduce the viscosity by injecting steam, solvents, and / or hot air into the sands.

Because of the isolated location, acquiring the land at the dam and reservoir sites was not incredibly difficult, but still conflicts arose with the ranchers and miners in the area ( many of the Navajo tribe ).

Because of the dam, sediment deposited by the Colorado and its tributaries is slowly filling up the canyon, and the most optimistic projections put the useful life of the reservoir at 300 – 700 years.

Because of state restrictions, most areas around the reservoir are accessible only by foot, through fifty-five surrounding gates.

The contour interval is 2 ft between successive contour line s. Because oil floats above water, the outer red color indicates the elevation of the water / oil contact zone, which is at the bottom of the Petroleum reservoir.

Because the ileo-anal pouch is considerably smaller a reservoir than the colon, patients tend to have more frequent bowel motions ; typically 6-8 times a day.

Because the dam is located near a seismically active fault zone and was determined to be seismically vulnerable, in 2001 the California Department of Water Resources, Division of Safety of Dams ( DSOD ) has restricted the reservoir to approximately 30 percent of its original capacity () until the deficiencies are corrected.

Because this would be undesirable, a restricting orifice and flow-control valve direct some of the pump's output back to the hydraulic reservoir at high engine speeds.

Because the lake is a reservoir, the water level can vary depending on the month.

Because Coyote Reservoir Dam was built right across the Calavaras fault and there is a substantial risk of a seismic-triggered landslide on the east side of the reservoir at the dam site, an earthquake could cause failure of this dam upstream of the Anderson Dam, and the release of water could increase risk of failure of the Anderson Dam.

Because of Angat Dam's size, its reservoir sinks to critical levels during the dry season on necessitating the need for cloud seeding on some years.

Because the reservoir is the water supply for Boston, not all areas around it are open to the public.

Because the water in the reservoir always remains cool, even in the extreme heat, it is a favorite spot for water sport enthusiasts.

Because he couldn't hear them, he was more convinced they were there.

Because Bright's speeches were so much a part of him, there are long and numerous quotations, which, far from making the biography diffuse, help to give us the feel of the man.

Because, honey, I thought silently, there are plenty of desert islands in every marriage -- long periods when you're hopelessly stranded, together.

Because his mind had been otherwise occupied for the past couple of hours, he did not think to look and see if Jerry Burton's car was still there.

Because of this Dr. Bonnor holds that the universe is becoming more thinly populated by stars and whatever else is there.

Because all clades are represented in the southern hemisphere but many not in the northern hemisphere, it is natural to conjecture that there is a common southern origin to them.

Because there is no canonical well-ordering of all sets, a construction that relies on a well-ordering may not produce a canonical result, even if a canonical result is desired ( as is often the case in category theory ).

Because there is no external pressure for the gas to expand against, the work done by or on the system is zero.

Because there is a natural season to farming and herding, it is easy to count and determine if a surplus had been gained after the crops had been harvested or the young animals weaned.

Because of the wide variety of evidence, which can include artefacts as well as sites, there is no one way to practice archaeoastronomy.

Because archaeoastronomy is about the many and various ways people interacted with the sky, there are a diverse range of sources giving information about astronomical practices.

Because there is no selection pressure for sight in this environment, any number of genetic abnormalities that give rise to the damage or loss of eyes could proliferate among the population with no effect on the fitness of the population.

Because of the gamble they take in the early stage of the game there is a build up of tension, which is immediately released once the train is robbed.

Because copper ions have a 2 + charge, they are attracted to the negative cathodes and collect there.

Because there are a lot of such electron pairs in a superconductor, these pairs overlap very strongly and form a highly collective condensate.

Because a black hole eventually achieves a stable state with only three parameters, there is no way to avoid losing information about the initial conditions: the gravitational and electric fields of a black hole give very little information about what went in.

Because the de facto administration is recognized only by Turkey, it has had much difficulty arranging foreign financing, and foreign firms have hesitated to invest there.

Because of the huge interest in the Confucius family tree, there was a project in China to test the DNA of known family members.

Because it consists of the views developed by a number of scientists and philosophers during the second quarter of the 20th Century, there is no definitive statement of the Copenhagen interpretation.

Because there are no clergy in the church, branch church Sunday services are conducted by two Readers: the First Reader, who reads passages from Science and Health, and the Second Reader, who reads passages from the Bible.

Because of World War II, there was no census in 1941.

Because derivation is a slower and less productive word formation process than the more overtly syntactical morphological methods, there are fewer collectives formed this way.

Because there are no plate tectonics on Venus, heat is only lost by conduction through the lithosphere.

Because of the protections provided the species on this atoll, and the isolation of the east rim of the atoll, the species is recorded in greater densities there than anywhere else in its range ( 339 crabs / ha ).

Because of the number of accidents taking place, there has been a surge in the number of lawsuits.
