Measuring the amount of nitrate-nitrogen in the surface 30 cm(12 in.), usually in the first two weeks of June, has proven to be a reasonably good indicator of potential soil N [nitrogen] supply for a corn crop.

As a former gunnery officer, Fisher revolutionized battleship design with the first all-big-gun ship, the HMS Dreadnought. Fisher was a firm believer in two things, the first being that speed was as good a form of protection as armor. His second belief was in the overwhelming power of large-caliber naval guns, and he firmly held that a single, devastating hit would decide most capital ship engagements. These two premises led to the development of the battlecruiser and to the rapid increase in gun sizes with each generation of ships. Envisioned as a sort of "super armored cruiser, "the type was designed to scout for the battlefleet without fear from enemy cruisers, yet was fast enough to escape an enemy battleship. They were to be capable of running down any existing cruiser and destroying it, thus protecting British supply lines to her overseas empire.

Socioeconomic drought is what happens when physical water shortage starts to affect people, individually and collectively. Or, in more abstract terms, most socioeconomic definitions of drought associate it with the supply and demand of an economic good. One could argue that a physical water shortage with no socioeconomic impacts is a policy success.

CONT

Socio-economic Drought Perspective. Not all water shortages are manifest in ways that impact people. A socio-economic perspective does not recognize drought until it tangibly effects peoples’ lives in terms of their behavior and options (e.g., water rationing, increased prices, or lost recreational opportunities) or depressed earning power (in particular reduced agricultural income which may trickle down and adversely affect through other industries, thus increasing regional financial stress).
