Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Los intercambios de agua entre los depósitos de agua superficial y los acuíferos son importantes. Los ríos usualmente empiezan como pequeños arroyos y aumentan el caudal a medida que fluyen hacia el mar. El agua que ellos ganan frecuentemente viene del agua subterránea. Esta corriente se denomina corriente ganante. Es posible que las corrientes viertan agua al subsuelo en algunos puntos. En estos casos, los acuíferos son rellenados o recargados por agua de corrientes de pérdida. Un arroyo que fluye cerca de la superficie de un acuífero perderá agua hacia el acuífero si la superficie de agua del arroyo es más alta que la capa de agua del acuífero en la tierra adyacente. 4, record 3, Spanish, - corriente%20afluente

Reduction of lightning activity by the introduction into a thundercloud of some agent aimed at providing additional points for corona discharge, thereby increasing the leakage current between positive and negative charge centres within the cloud. 2, record 4, English, - lightning%20suppression
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
lightning suppression. Procedures to prevent the occurrence of lightning. Seeding below cloud base with 10-cm fiber chaff in a Colorado study resulted in corona discharges that caused a discharging current to flow within developing or active thunderstorms. Electric fields below thunderstorms seeded with chaff decayed much faster than electric fields below nonseeded storms, and chaff seeding of existing thunderstorms greatly reduced cloud-to-ground flashes compared to nonseeded storms. 3, record 4, English, - lightning%20suppression
