Timber industry activity further contaminates river water, notably in the increased sediment runoff that results from clearcuts.

Studies have shown that, in many environments, the rate of erosion and runoff decreases exponentially with increased vegetation cover.

Other reasons include: a ) changes in plant canopy caused by shifts in plant biomass production associated with moisture regime ; b ) changes in litter cover on the ground caused by changes in both plant residue decomposition rates driven by temperature and moisture dependent soil microbial activity as well as plant biomass production rates ; c ) changes in soil moisture due to shifting precipitation regimes and evapo-transpiration rates, which changes infiltration and runoff ratios ; d ) soil erodibility changes due to decrease in soil organic matter concentrations in soils that lead to a soil structure that is more susceptible to erosion and increased runoff due to increased soil surface sealing and crusting ; e ) a shift of winter precipitation from non-erosive snow to erosive rainfall due to increasing winter temperatures ; f ) melting of permafrost, which induces an erodible soil state from a previously non-erodible one ; and g ) shifts in land use made necessary to accommodate new climatic regimes.

deforestation ; soil erosion ; wildlife populations threatened by poaching and urbanization ; coastal degradation from mining activities and increased pollution ; freshwater resources being polluted by industrial wastes and sewage runoff ; waste disposal ; air pollution in Colombo

Poorly designed irrigation networks led to massive runoff, which increased soil salinity and carried toxic agricultural chemicals downstream to other fields, the Aral Sea, and populated areas of the region.

In the southwest monsoon season ( June to August ) the increased rainfall and runoff further reduce the salinity of the upper sea layer.

Mining at Summitville, by exposing more rock surface to weathering, increased acidity and concentrations of dissolved metals in runoff from the mine area.

Disadvantages to turn lanes include increased pavement area, with associated increases in construction and maintenance costs, as well as increased amounts of stormwater runoff.

Modern drainage systems which collect runoff from impervious surfaces ( e. g., roofs and roads ) ensure that water is efficiently conveyed to waterways through pipe networks, meaning that even small storm events result in increased waterway flows.

The development of the modern city often results in increased demands for water supply due to population growth, while at the same time altered runoff predicted by climate change has the potential to increase the volume of stormwater that can contribute to drainage and flooding problems.

However, lakes in the Mundafen area in the southwest of the Rub ' al Khali show evidence of lasting longer, up to 800 years, due to increased runoff from the Tuwaiq Escarpment.

* increased sedimentation ( due to silt runoff )

If the ductus is moderate or large, widened pulse pressure and bounding peripheral pulses are frequently present, reflecting increased left ventricular stroke volume and diastolic runoff of blood into the initially lower-resistant pulmonary vascular bed.

increased terrestrial runoff → increased nutrients denser phytoplankton ↑→ better larval survival

The dinoflagellate Pfiesteria piscicida is present in the river, and has a bloom in growth when nutrient levels are increased due to too much runoff.

Nonpoint source pollutants, such as sediments, nutrients, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, animal wastes and other substances that enter our water supply as components of runoff and ground water, have increased in relative significance and accounts for more than 50 % of the pollution in U. S. waters.

A rise in global temperatures is also predicted to correlate with an increase in global precipitation, but because of increased runoff, floods, increased rates of soil erosion, and mass movement of land, a decline in water quality is probable, while water will carry more nutrients, it will also carry more contaminants.

Negative effects of grazing ( or more usually over-grazing ) include increased soil erosion, adverse water quality impacts from increased runoff and loss of biodiversity.

Popularity of the song increased greatly following the September 11, 2001 attacks ; at some sporting events it was sung in addition to the traditional singing of the national anthem.

In addition to the dam ’ s reduced pelvic dimensions, the calf ’ s birth weight and width are increased, in turn making parturition harder.

In addition to establishing the level and denomination of the final contract, the final contract may be doubled ( by the opponents ) or redoubled ( by the declaring side after the opponents had already doubled ), in which case the score for the hand is increased, whether the contract is made or defeated.

In addition, Deccan Trap volcanism might have resulted in carbon dioxide emissions that increased the greenhouse effect when the dust and aerosols cleared from the atmosphere.

The number of nations playing Test cricket increased gradually over the years, with the addition of West Indies in 1928, New Zealand in 1930, India in 1932, and Pakistan in 1952, but international cricket continued to be played as bilateral Test matches over three, four or five days.

Recently, in addition to opposing environmental degradation and protecting wilderness, an increased focus on coexisting with natural biodiversity has appeared, a strain that is apparent in the movement for sustainable agriculture and in the concept of Reconciliation Ecology.

In addition, all five patients had stable or increased immune response to HIV antigens and other pathogens.

In addition to fast integration with the European Union, safety against Russian leverage has been increased by building fully NATO-compatible military.

However, the solubility of elemental iodine in water can be increased by the addition of potassium iodide.

Other principles such as Accountability have sometimes been proposed for addition – it has been pointed out that issues such as Non-Repudiation do not fit well within the three core concepts, and as regulation of computer systems has increased ( particularly amongst the Western nations ) Legality is becoming a key consideration for practical security installations.

The addition of the new IMEWE underwater cable during the summer of 2011 has dramatically increased Lebanon's international bandwidth capacity, allowing for increased speeds and larger data caps.

According to Livy, Tarquinius increased the number of the Senate by the addition of 100 men from the minor leading families.

The Ministry remains dedicated to increased Macedonian inclusion in international organizations, increased recognition by other nations, and assisting in global counter-terrorism operations, in addition to whatever diplomatic needs may arise.

In addition, technological changes prior to the merger movement within companies increased the efficient size of plants with capital intensive assembly lines allowing for economies of scale.

Picasso met Fernande Olivier, a model for sculptors and artists, in Paris in 1904, and many of these paintings are influenced by his warm relationship with her, in addition to his increased exposure to French painting.

While media have reported widely the grand corruption that accompanied the sales, one study has argued that in addition to increased operating efficiency, daily petty corruption is, or would be, larger without privatization, and that corruption is more prevalent in non-privatized sectors, and that there is evidence to suggest that extralegal and unofficial activities are more prevalent in countries that privatized less.
