Although changes in precipitation directly lead to changes in the volume of water that flows to lakes and reservoirs, water loss during surface routing and water-resources management in the river channels also impact long-term changes in surface water storage.
Among the 128 basins in global drylands, 87 show consistent trends (in terms of directional change) between active storage and precipitation. However, the remaining 41 basins exhibit opposite directional change, suggesting a decoupling of surface water storage from precipitation.
precipitation Moisture that falls from the air to the ground. Includes rain, snow, hail, sleet, drizzle, fog and mist. When the precipitation reaches the surface, some falls directly into the sea but other water falls on land: intercept To interrupt the movement of something, eg water is intercepted by the leaves of trees when it rains.
Local precipitation changes have conventionally been analysed using the water vapour budget, but here we show that the energetic approach can be extended to local changes in precipitation by including changes in horizontal energy transport.
Our results demonstrate that errors from precipitation and terrestrial water storage anomalies introduce large uncertainties in ET WB, thereby complicating water balance validation in humid regions across multiple timesteps.
Some precipitation falls as snow, hail, or sleet, and can accumulate in ice caps and glaciers, which can store frozen water for thousands of years. Most water falls as rain back into the ocean or onto land, where the water flows over the ground as surface runoff.

Selective Precipitation Explained: Definition, Examples, Practice ...
Selective precipitation is a method used to separate ions from a solution by forming a precipitate with a reagent that binds to the desired ions. The success of this process hinges on the solubility product constant (K sp) of the salt formed.When the reaction quotient (Q) exceeds the K sp value, precipitation occurs as the system shifts to restore equilibrium, leading to the formation of a solid.
