Evaporated water can cool surface of earth, says study
According to scientists, evaporated water helps in cooling earth as a whole, not just the local area of evaporation, a study said. A new study by scientists at the Indian Institute of Science, the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have demonstrated that evaporation of water from trees and irrigated crop areas could cool the planet which could have major implications on decision making for land use.
