DEPLETION RATE [10 records]

Record 1 2023-02-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Ecology (General)
  • Environmental Management
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

... the fish stock can be augmented to enable a continuing availability through time. Thus fish... have the special feature that even though their utilisation results in depletion, new stocks are created by a process of self-generation. The regeneration occurs at a "natural" rate, often directly dependent upon the amount of original stock remaining unutilised.

Record 3 2011-11-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

Decreasing rate of groundwater discharge to surface water bodies during periods of no recharge, connected to the depletion of ground water storage, and expressed by groundwater recession curve.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Décroissance du débit d'eau souterraine allant aux eaux de surface pendant des périodes sans alimentation, due à la diminution de la réserve d'eau souterraine et exprimée par la courbe de tarissement.

CONT

On appelle «tarissement» d'une rivière la décroissance des débits correspondant à la vidange des nappes en dehors de toute précipitation.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
DEF

Valor decreciente del caudal de descarga de las aguas subterráneas en masas de aguas superficiales durante períodos de no alimentación, relacionado con la disminución del agua almacenada en el acuífero y expresada por la curva de recesión de aguas subterráneas.

Record 4 2010-08-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Economics
CONT

Adjusted net saving,(also known as genuine saving), is a sustainability indicator building on the concepts of green national accounts. Adjusted net savings measure the true rate of savings in an economy after taking into account investments in human capital, depletion of natural resources and damage caused by pollution.

OBS

adjusted net saving; genuine saving: terms frequently used in the plural.

Key term(s)
  • adjusted net savings
  • genuine saving

French

Domaine(s)
  • Économie environnementale
DEF

Mesure du développement durable qui corrige la mesure traditionnelle de l'épargne brute de la valeur monétaire correspondant à la dégradation du capital naturel et à l'accumulation de capital humain.

Record 5 2008-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

Curve showing a decreasing rate of runoff or discharge, caused by depletion.

PHR

Dry weather depletion curve.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Courbe exprimant la décroissance de l'écoulement ou du débit, due au tarissement.

CONT

La courbe exprimant le débit en fonction du temps et qui rend compte de ce phénomène en absence de pluie et de ruissellement superficiel est dite courbe de tarissement; elle est généralement ajustable à une exponentielle tendant asymptotiquement vers zéro et permet d'estimer les réserves en eau souterraine correspondantes.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
DEF

Curva que muestra el decrecimiento de la escorrentía o caudal de un curso de agua, debido a la sobreexplotación.

  • Customs and Excise
CONT

Since 20 000 board feet were sold and the depletion rate per board foot is $0. 10, $2 000 of depletion was used.

Record 7 2000-04-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
DEF

Theoretically, the optimum producing rate of a well that brings about the maximum volumetric recovery from a reservoir with a minimum of residual-oil saturation at depletion.

OBS

This is often referred to as the engineering MER, which is the field production that will achieve maximum financial returns from the operation of the reservoir. These two figures seldom coincide.

Key term(s)
  • engineering MER

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
DEF

Rythme maximal de production d'un gisement qui ne diminuera pas la récupération finale des hydrocarbures contenus dans son réservoir.

Record 8 1997-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Currency and Foreign Exchange
CONT

Traditionally, theoretical literature on balance of payments crises stressed that weak economic fundamentals-such as excessively expansionary fiscal and monetary policies-resulted in a persistent loss of international reserves, ultimately forcing the authorities to abandon the fixed exchange rate parity. More recently, however, some economists have argued that the authorities may decide to abandon the parity for reasons other than a depletion of official international reserves.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Politique monétaire et marché des changes

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Política monetaria y mercado de cambios
CONT

Tradicionalmente, en la literatura teórica sobre las crisis de balanza de pagos se insistía en que cuando las variables fundamentales son poco sólidas - por ejemplo, una política fiscal y monetaria excesivamente expansionistas - se produce una pérdida persistente de reservas internacionales que obliga a las autoridades a abandonar tarde o temprano el régimen de paridad fija. Sin embargo, en estudios más recientes se sostiene que las autoridades pueden decidir abandonar esa paridad por otras razones, no sólo porque se agoten las reservas internacionales oficiales.

Record 10 1986-06-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

Withdrawal of ground surface water from a source at a rate in excess of the rate of supply during a given season, but not in excess of the average supply over a secular cycle. Withdrawal at a rate in excess of the average rate of supply over a secular cycle is termed cyclic depletion.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Retrait de l'eau souterraine ou superficielle d'une source à un régime supérieur au régime d'appoint pendant une saison donnée, mais pas au-delà de l'alimentation moyenne.
