The hydrosphere includes all of Earth's water found in oceans, glaciers, streams, lakes, soil, groundwater, and air. It interacts with and influences the other spheres like the lithosphere and biosphere. Water is distributed between these spheres and moves through the hydrologic cycle, being held in oceans, atmosphere, and on land in liquid, solid, and vapor forms. Other celestial bodies like Jupiter's moons Europa and Ganymede may also contain subsurface oceans beneath thick ice shells.

Water is the most precious gift of mother nature. Hydrology is the scientific study of the origin, occurrence, properties, distribution, and effects of water on the Earth’s surface, in the soil and in the underlying rocks, and also in the atmosphere. This module explain's the distribution of water in the global hydrosphere.
The rates of movement of water and the quantities involved the cyclic processes are the major aspects involved in the hydrological sciences. There is an endless circulation of water among all the spheres of the earth. It is popularly known as the hydrologic cycle. It is necessary to learn about the hydrologic cycle, when we intend analyse the water resources of the region and the world.
This power point presentation is all about water resources and its characteristics.It is presented by Ram Angeles and Frank Gutierrez of section 11- San Juan from Rizal Technological University
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Hydrospheremae 110217043911-phpapp01
1.
2. The hydrosphere is often called the "water sphere" as it
includes all the earth's water found in the
oceans, glaciers, streams, lakes, the
soil, groundwater, and in the air. The hydrosphere
interacts with, and is influenced by, all the other earth
spheres. The water of the hydrosphere is distributed
among several different stores found in the other
spheres. Water is held in oceans, lakes and streams at the
surface of the earth. Water is found in vapor, liquid and
solid states in the atmosphere. The biosphere serves as
an interface between the spheres enabling water to
move between the hydrosphere, lithosphere and
atmosphere as is accomplished by plant transpiration.
The hydrologic cycle traces the movement of water and
energy between these various stores and spheres.
3.
4. Other hydrospheres
A thick hydrosphere is thought to exist around the Jovian
moon Europa. The outer layer of this hydrosphere is almost
entirely ice, but current models predict that there is an
ocean up to 100 km in depth underneath the ice. This
ocean remains in a liquid form because of tidal flexing of
the moon in its orbit around Jupiter. The volume of
Europa's hydrosphere is 3 × 1018 m3, 2.3 times that of
Earth.
It has been suggested that the Jovian moon Ganymede
and the Saturnian moon Enceladus may also possess sub-
surface oceans. However the ice covering is expected to
be thicker on Jupiter's Ganymede than on Europa.
5. The Structure of Hydrosphere

here •Groundwater: 1.7%
•Surface Fresh
Water: 0.014%
Fresh water— •Atmosphere and
3.5% of water soil: 0.002%
found here
6. Distribution and quantity of the Earth’s waters
Ocean waters and waters trapped in the pore spaces
of sediments make up most of the present-day
hydrosphere (see Table 1). The total mass of water in
the oceans equals about 50 percent of the mass of
sedimentary rocks now in existence and about 5
percent of the mass of the Earth’s crust as a whole.
Deep and shallow ground waters constitute a small
percentage of the total water locked in the pores of
sedimentary rocks—on the order of 3 to 15 percent.
The amount of water in the atmosphere at any one
time is trivial, equivalent to 0.013 × 106 cubic
kilometers of liquid water, or about 0.001 percent of
the total at the Earth’s surface. This
water, however, plays an important role in the water
cycle.
7. Water masses at the Earth’s surface

rivers 0.0017 0.0001
biosphere 0.0006 0.00004
total 1,408. 7 100
8. At present, ice locks up a little more than 1 percent of the Earth’s water and
may have accounted for as much as 3 percent or more during the height of
the glaciations of the Pleistocene Epoch (2,600,000 to 11,700 years ago).
Although water storage in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere is small, the rate
of water circulation through the rain–river–ocean–atmosphere system is
relatively rapid. The amount of water discharged each year into the oceans
from the land is approximately equal to the total mass of water stored at any
instant in rivers and lakes.
Soil moisture accounts for only 0.005 percent of the water at the Earth’s
surface. It is this small amount of water, however, that exerts the most direct
influence on evaporation from soils. The biosphere, though primarily H2O in
composition, contains very little of the total water at the terrestrial surface,
only about 0.00004 percent. Yet, the biosphere plays a major role in the
transport of water vapor back into the atmosphere by the process of
transpiration.
As will be seen in the next section, the Earth’s waters are not pure H2O but
contain dissolved and particulate materials. Thus, the masses of water at the
Earth’s surface are major receptacles of inorganic and organic substances,
and water movement plays a dominant role in the transportation of these
substances about the planet’s surface.
9.
10. Rainwater
About 110,300 cubic kilometres of rain fall on land
each year. The total water in the atmosphere is 0.013
× 106 cubic kilometres, and this water, owing to
precipitation and evaporation, turns over every 9.6
days. Rainwater is not pure but rather contains
dissolved gases and salts, fine-ground particulate
material, organic substances, and even bacteria. The
sources of the materials in rainwater are the oceans,
soils, fertilizers, air pollution, and fossil-fuel
combustion.
11. River and ocean waters
River discharge constitutes the main source for
the oceans. Seawater has a more uniform
composition than river water. It contains, by
weight, about 3.5 percent dissolved
salts, whereas river water has only 0.012
percent. The average density of the world’s
oceans is roughly 2.75 percent greater than that
of typical river water. Of the average 35 parts
per thousand salts of seawater, sodium and
chlorine make up almost 30 parts, and
magnesium and sulfate contribute another four
parts.
12. Water-rock interactions as determining river water composition
Generally speaking, the composition of river water, and thus that of
lakes, is controlled by water–rock interactions. The attack of carbon
dioxide-charged rain and soil waters on the individual minerals in
continental rocks leads to the production of dissolved constituents for
lakes, rivers, and streams. It also gives rise to solid alteration products
that make up soils or suspended particles in freshwater aquatic
systems. The carbon dioxide content of rain and soil waters is of
particular importance in weathering processes. The pH of rainwater
equilibrated with the atmospheric carbon dioxide partial pressure of
10−3.5 atmosphere is 5.7. In industrial regions, rainwater pH values
may be lower because of the release and subsequent hydrolysis of
acid gases—namely, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the
combustion of fossil fuels. After rainwater enters soils, its
characteristics change markedly. The usual few parts per million of
salts in rainwater increase substantially as the water reacts. The upper
part of the soil is a zone of intense biochemical activity. The bacterial
population near the surface is large, but it decreases rapidly downward
with a steep gradient
13. Lake waters
Although lake waters constitute only a small percentage of the water
in the hydrosphere, they are an important ephemeral storage
reservoir for fresh water. Aside from their recreational use, lakes
constitute a source of water for household, agricultural, and
industrial uses. Lake waters are also very susceptible to changes in
chemical composition due to these uses and to other factors.
In general, fresh waters at the continental surface evolve from their
rock sources by enrichment in calcium and sodium and by depletion
in magnesium and potassium. In very soft waters the alkalines may
be more abundant than the alkaline earths, and in the more
concentrated waters of open river systems Ca > Mg > Na > K. For
the anions, in general, HCO3− exceeds SO 2/4−, which is greater in
concentration than Cl−. It is worthwhile at this stage to consider
some major mechanisms that control global surface water
composition. These mechanisms are atmospheric precipitation, rock
reactions, and evaporation-precipitation.
14. The mechanism principally responsible for waters of very low salinity is
precipitation. These waters tend to form in tropical regions of low relief and
thoroughly leached source rocks. In these regions rainfall is high, and water
compositions are usually dominated by salts brought in by precipitation. Such
waters constitute one end-member of a series of water compositions for which
the other end-member represents water compositions dominated by
contributions of dissolved salts from the rocks and soils of their basins. These
waters have moderate salinity and are rich in dissolved calcium and
bicarbonate. They are, in turn, the end-member of another series that extends
from the calcium-rich, medium-salinity fresh waters to the high-salinity, sodium
chloride-dominated waters of which seawater is an example. Seawater
composition, however, does not evolve directly from the composition of fresh
waters and the precipitation of calcium carbonate; other mechanisms that
control its composition are involved. Such factors as relief and vegetation also
may affect the composition of the world’s surface waters, but atmospheric
precipitation, water–rock reactions, and evaporation–crystallization processes
appear to be the dominant mechanisms governing continental surface water
chemistry.
Continental fresh waters evaporate once they have entered closed basins, and
their constituent salts precipitate on the basin floors. The composition of these
waters may evolve along several different paths, depending on their initial
chemical makeup.
17. The water or hydrologic cycle is the
continuous movement of water from
oceans and freshwater sources to
the air, land, and back to the bodies
of water which results in fresh water
continuously being renewed.
20. Evaporation is when the sun heats up water
in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it
into vapor or steam. The water vapor or
steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and
goes into the air.
21. Condensation:
Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming
clouds. This is called condensation.
You can see the same sort of thing at home... pour a glass of cold water on a hot
day and watch what happens. Water forms on the outside of the glass. That
water didn't somehow leak through the glass! It actually came from the
air. Water vapor in the warm air, turns back into liquid when it touches the cold
glass.
22. Precipitation:
Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the
air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls
back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow
23. Collection:
When water falls back to earth as
precipitation, it may fall back in the
oceans, lakes or rivers or it may end
up on land. When it ends up on
land, it will either soak into the earth
and become part of the ―ground
water‖ that plants and animals use to
drink or it may run over the soil and
collect in the oceans, lakes or rivers
where the cycle starts.
