Of and as?
Net evaporation refers to the balance between the amount of water that evaporates from a surface (such as soil or water bodies) and the amount of water that is added back through precipitation or other means. It is a crucial component of the water cycle, influencing water availability and ecosystem health. When net evaporation is positive, it indicates that more water is being lost to the atmosphere than is being replenished, potentially leading to drier conditions. Conversely, negative net evaporation suggests that more water is being added than lost, which can contribute to flooding or waterlogged conditions.
the difference between this is that surface area
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, increases the reabsorption of water in the kidneys, reducing the amount of water lost in the urine. If ADH levels are low, more water will be lost in the urine, leading to increased urination and potential dehydration.
Evaporation.
Water is lost from the gas exchange surface of terrestrial organisms because gases must be exchanged with air. Terrestrial organisms have a high water potential, therefore when the gas exchange occurs water will be lost.

Faeces may become watery& the patient may have to comsume more roughage &water since there is a reduced surface area for the absorption of water. Patient should avoid vigorious activities, to reduce the amount of water lost.
Earth has a significant amount of water due to its unique position in the solar system that allowed it to accumulate water during its formation. The moon, being smaller and lacking a dense atmosphere, lost any water it may have had early in its history.
Yes, the Earth loses some water primarily through processes like evaporation and sublimation. Water vapor can escape into the atmosphere, and while much of it eventually returns to the surface through precipitation, there is a small amount that can be lost to space, particularly from the upper atmosphere. However, the overall amount of water on Earth remains relatively constant due to the water cycle.
The amount of water lost to natural processes such as evaporation, absorption into banks, and loss to shoreline plants varies depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and vegetation density. On average, global evaporation accounts for about 80% of the water cycle, with the remaining 20% being runoff into rivers and oceans. However, in specific ecosystems like wetlands, the amount of water lost to natural processes can be much higher due to the presence of abundant vegetation and open water surfaces. Understanding these processes is crucial for managing water resources sustainably.
Mars lost its water (or it all froze) fairly recently . . . about 1 million years ago.
Water balance refers to the amount of water gained and lost by the body.
