The Myth of Antitranspirants - WSU Puyallup
... Film-forming antitranspirants prevent evaporation by covering and clogging leaf stomata – the tiny pores on leaf surfaces. These pores have two functions: they create a gradient for water movement throughout the plant and they allow gas exchange between the plant and the atmosphere. Each of these ph ...

SahysMod
SahysMod is a computer program for the prediction of the salinity of soil moisture, groundwater and drainage water, the depth of the watertable, and the drain discharge in irrigated agricultural lands, using different hydrogeologic and aquifer conditions, varying water management options, including the use of ground water for irrigation, and several crop rotation schedules, whereby the spatial variations are accounted for through a network of polygons.
