Water Potential is defined as the potential energy of water per unit mass of water in the system. The total water potential of a sample is the sum of four component potentials : gravitational, matric, osmotic, and pressure. Gravitational potential depends on the position of the water in a gravitational field. Matric potential depends on the adsorptive forces binding water to a matrix. Osmotic potential depends on the concentration of dissolved substance in the water. Pressure potential depends on the hydrostatic or pneumatic pressure on the water. 3, record 3, English, - total%20water%20potential

Le plus souvent l'eau se déplace : infiltration dans le sol après une pluie ou une irrigation, percolation en profondeur jusqu'à la nappe, déplacement de l'eau de la nappe, vers une source ou des drains, remontées capillaires jusqu'à la surface évaporante ou la zone de succion racinaire, flux liquide du sol jusqu'au feuilles. Ces transferts sont dus à des différences de potentiel hydrique total. 1, record 3, French, - potentiel%20hydrique%20total

It is difficult to separate social and environmental effects for in many situations environmental changes will have a social impact. Initiating departments should therefore consult with experts in the social field to identify areas of potential social impact. Once identified, these elements could be added to the Level 2 Matrix, creating a comprehensive screening format. The screener must recognize that social effects which result in an environmental impact must also be assessed. 1, record 5, English, - screening%20format

Il est difficile de dissocier les répercussions sociales des répercussions environnementales étant donné que dans bien des cas des modifications apportées à l'environnement entraînent des conséquences d'ordre social. Les ministères responsables devraient donc consulter des experts en matières sociales afin d'identifier les secteurs possibles d'impact social. Une fois identifiés, tous ces éléments devraient être figurés au tableau synoptique Phase 2 donnant ainsi un profil d'évaluation complet. Il ne faudra pas perdre de vue ce faisant que les répercussions sociales causées par un projet pourront, à leur tour, engendrer des répercussions sur l'environnement et que celles-ci devront également être examinées. 1, record 5, French, - profil%20d%27%C3%A9valuation
