The effect ofprecipitation is of significance primarily from the standpoint of erosion, and the design of cross section and ditches and the culvert provisions are entirely different from those necessary in humid regions.
It is usually true that such places are observed during the season of frequent precipitation more often than during other seasons of the year.

The earliest precipitation will take place in the region of extremest rarefaction; namely, about the equator.
Now, what are the laws of precipitation from gases?
Precipitation of Salt from inland Lakes and Lagoons.
Precipitation of Stony Matter most rapid where Putrefaction is going on.
Personally, I considered these pieces of wood, 2 feet high, good enough, considering the amount of precipitation I had remarked since our arrival in these regions.
The precipitation we had observed was very slight, considering the time of year -- spring and summer.
But the immediate causes of the precipitation of the Reformation may be stated as follows: First.
Perhaps the writings of these men had more to do with the precipitation of the revolution than the arbitrary assumptions of royalty, the wretchedness of the people, the supercilious abuses of the nobility, and the corruption of the church.
But emulsoids often protect suspensoids from precipitation by electrolytes, by forming a protective film around the particles of the suspensoids, which prevents the aggregation of the particles into the precipitate form.
Conditions for precipitationare especially favorable in arid climates, in arms of the sea or in enclosed basins which may or may not once have been connected with the sea.
The actual processes of concentration and precipitation in sea water or other salt waters are much more complex than is indicated by the above simple outline.
Precipitation from such solutions may be effected by oxidation, by dilution, by cooling, or by the presence of organic matter.
Fine and loose beds of sand also rapidly receive and transmit the rainfall unless the precipitation is exceedingly heavy under which conditions some of it may flow away on the surface.
The deposits contain small amounts of fossil wood which may have been an agent in theprecipitation of the vanadium.
The anhydrite found in gypsum deposits is formed both by direct precipitation from salt water and by subsequent alteration of the gypsum.
Precipitation may be caused by chemical reactions, by organic secretion, or by evaporation of the solutions.
The carrying down of the mercury and its precipitation as secondary sulphide may have taken place in some deposits, but this process is unimportant in forming values.
These coatings have probably been formed by the decomposition of cadmium-bearing zinc sulphide in the oxide zone, the carrying down of the cadmium in solution, and its precipitation as secondary cadmium sulphide.
Storage equalizes flow, although the withdrawal of precipitation by snow or ice storage in northern areas often reduces winter flow to the minimum for the year.
Under such conditions the dissolved salts in the enclosed body become concentrated, andprecipitation may occur.
Still looms the Mountain of Precipitation In sadness o'er a vale serene and bright, As when the Saviour foiled his frenzied nation, Who fain had cast him headlong from the height.
When these small globules are condensed into cloud a great number are combined into one globule, and they are of all sizes, from the globule of evaporation to that of the raindrop when precipitation takes place.
In the winter time, however, the glacier may flow far down into the valley and will accumulate greatly in bulk, owing to the fact that the ice forms from the precipitation of snow on top faster than it melts away underneath.
If the precipitation were always in the form of rain it would immediately run off instead of being distributed over a whole season.
For instance, if in Switzerland, where the conditions are nearly balanced, the annual precipitation could be slightly increased we should have a condition that would precipitate more snow in winter than would melt in summer.
This great glacier is fed by the constant precipitation of snow upon the sides and peaks of the high mountains that surround its vast amphitheater, which is floored with icebergs.
It is easy to see that if this process is kept up long enough the water will become in time a saturated solution, when crystallization sets in and precipitation follows, accounting for the deposits of rock salt.
Of course the primary cause is the same in all cases, that is, from precipitation of moisture in the form of rain or snow.
There is probably another power at work to prevent the too ready precipitation of moisture when condensed, and that is the wind.
There only needs to be such a change in the meteorological conditions as will cause a greater precipitation in that part of the globe favorable to glaciers, as, for instance, in the northern part of North America toward Alaska.
The degree of saline concentration which the precipitation of gypsum indicates, would be highly inimical to life.
The precipitation of this salt is, however, rare in the urine of the horse, though much more frequent in that of man and sheep.
The unknown poison which produces goiter presumably leads to such changes in the blood and urine as will furnish the colloid necessary for precipitation of the urinary salts in the form of calculi.
Why did his misjudging zeal and accursedprecipitation overpass that limit?
I spoke, but with so much precipitation as scarcely to be understood; catching her, at the same time, by the arm, and forcibly pulling her from her seat.
We use, finally, the compound or double-cylinder engine for the purpose of saving some of the heat usually lost in internal condensation and reevaporation, and precipitation of condensed vapor from great expansion.
They have a very marked advantage in the facility with which the tubes may be scraped or freed from the deposit when a scale of sulphate of lime or other salt has formed within them by precipitation from the water.
Hence I applied myself to overcome the tendency to singsong in my voice, the exuberance of my rendering of passion, the exclamatory quality of my phrasing, the precipitation of my pronunciation, and the swagger of my motions.
Precipitation in delivery, too, which when carried too far destroys all distinctness and incisiveness, was due to my very high impressionability, and to the straining after technical scenic effects.
This is probably due in part to a precipitation of some of the water-soluble proteins upon standing, and their subsequent decomposition when heat is applied directly to them in reheating the solution.
This is very probably due to the precipitation of some of the water-soluble proteins when the solution cools, and their subsequent decomposition when heat is applied directly to them in reheating the solution.
