from downstream, where the water level is much lower, it is a high, elaborately facaded pavilion.

From the terraces -- eighteen in all -- broad flights of steps descend into the water or onto still more terraces barely above the level of the river.

If the site is on a reservoir, the level of the water at various seasons as it affects recreation should be studied.

The water inlets are large enough to permit filling the wheel to an eight-inch level in less than two minutes, and the outlet is large enough to permit discharge of this same amount of water in less than two minutes.

The machine is equipped with a pipe for injecting live steam that is capable of raising the temperature of water at an eight-inch level from 110-degrees to 140-degrees-F ( 38*0 to 60*0C. ) in less than two minutes.

It is equipped with an outside water gauge that will indicate the level of the water in the wheel.

Immediately add water at 100 - 105-degrees-F ( 38 - 43*0C. ) to the wheel to a level of Af inches ; ;

When this water level has been reached, inject steam into the wheel until the temperature reaches that shown in Column B of Table 2.

Refill the machine to a level of Af inches with water at 100 - 109-degrees-F ( ( 38 - 43*0 C. ) and start the machine.

Refill the machine to a level of Af inches with water at 100 - 109-degrees-F ( 38 - 43*0C. ).

When this water level has been reached, inject steam until the temperature is that shown in Column Aj.

Immediately refill to a level of Af inches with water at 100 - 109-degrees-F ( 38 - 43*0C ).

When this water level has been reached inject steam until the temperature is that shown in Column Aj.

Another environmental concern is a significant drop in Lake Sevan's water level because of drawdowns for irrigation and the diversion of water to hydroelectric plants to compensate for the electric power lost through the inactivity of the nuclear plant at Metsamor.

Engineers estimated that once the project is finished, the tunnel will allow 500 million cubic meters of water to be drawn from the lake annually, while maintaining a constant water level.

The Ministry of the Environment reported that the lake's water level had dropped by fifty centimeters in 1993.

In fluids such as air and water, sound waves propagate as disturbances in the ambient pressure level.

Averaging at least 1. 6 km thick, the ice is so massive that it has depressed the continental bedrock in some areas more than 2. 5 km below sea level ; subglacial lakes of liquid water also occur ( e. g., Lake Vostok ).

The top of the building is a crown, like a huge gable, which is at the same level as the roof and helps to conceal the room where there used to be water tanks.

The water was there, so much of it that it spread all through the dead orchard.

But there was water.

Yes, there was plenty of water, too much, and that was probably the trouble.

The town was about what Wilson expected: one main street with its rows of false-fronted buildings, a water tower, a few warehouses, a single hotel ; ;

There a dozen giant monitors played their seventy-five-foot jets of water against the huge seam of tertiary gravel which was the mountainside.

The water was warm and stale and had a brackish taste.

But it was water.

He let down the tailgate and was knocked over by the sluice of water.

Her stern was down and a sharp list helped us to cut loose the lifeboat which dropped heavily into the water.

Already our leaky lifeboat was filled with five inches of water.

Ramey heard the words again inside, weakened, the way moving water sounds through a grove of trees, until he was not sure whether it was sound or light-headedness pressing in his ears.

This was the land of the sladang, the great water buffalo with horns forty inches across the spread.

Now, the next morning, they were anchored at The Elbow and the boat was riding directly over the underwater ledge where the green water turned to deepest blue and the cliff dropped straight down 600 fathoms, with the weighted line beside it ; ;

he was very thirsty, but he must observe water discipline.

Of course it was water he really craved ; ;

And when this was gone, he hadn't even a little bitter tablet to purify other water if he were to discover some stagnant jungle pool.

There might have been a pool of cool water behind any of these tree-clumps: only -- there was not.

To relieve the itch and sweat galls, the men got into the water whenever they could and since each sizable stream was generally the dividing line between the armies the pickets declared a private truce while the men went swimming.

The water was deep and Brownlow took his troopers across naked -- except for guns, cartridge boxes and hats.

There is a mediocre restaurant at Sounion and I fed a thin little Grecian cat and gave it two saucers of water -- there was no milk -- which it lapped up as though it were nectar.

Both abolition of war and new techniques of production, particularly robot factories, greatly increase the world's wealth, a situation described in the following passage, which has the true utopian ring: `` Everything was so cheap that the necessities of life were free, provided as a public service by the community, as roads, water, street lighting and drainage had once been.

`` And Jesus, when he was baptized went up straightway out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him ''.
