It had darkened since I left, and now I could only see here and there the glistening of moisture upon the black walls, and far away down at the end of the shaft the gleam of the broken water. I shouted but only the same half-human cry of the fall was borne back to my ears.

A good analogy would be that I don't know any customer who wants their vehicle built in their driveway and rained on for nine months before they get a chance to sit in it. Moisture is the largest enemy of construction. Once moisture gets into the material, it starts to shrink and mold even before it goes to production.
As plants are suffocated and drowned with too much moisture, and lamps with too much oil, so is the active part of the understanding with too much study.
Limestone is porous, it transmits moisture. When you create an artificial bed like I'm describing, you sort of duplicate that kind of environment.
A woodland setting is often a very suitable place for good plant growth, as there is wind protection from the trees and the sun's warmth is concentrated in the humus-rich leaf-mould litter covering the ground. This nutrient-rich layer, replenished each autumn, provides the ideal growing matter for shade plants and helps to retain moisture. You only need to think of the snowdrops, bluebells or primroses that thrive in these conditions in nature to get an idea of what you could achieve in your own garden.
If gardeners will forget a little the phrase, 'watering the plants' and think of watering as a matter of 'watering the earth' under the plants, keeping up its moisture content and gauging its need, the garden will get on very well.
Drought is no stranger to the peoples of East Africa. It is a natural climatic phenomenon.

HALO, n. Properly, a luminous ring encircling an astronomical body, but not infrequently confounded with aureola, or nimbus, a somewhat similar phenomenon worn as a head-dress by divinities and saints. The halo is a purely optical illusion, produced by moisture in the air, in the manner of a rainbow but the aureola is conferred as a sign of superior sanctity, in the same way as a bishop's mitre, or the Pope's tiara. In the painting of the Nativity, by Szedgkin, a pious artist of Pesth, not only do the Virgin and the Child wear the nimbus, but an ass nibbling hay from the sacred manger is similarly decorated and, to his lasting honor be it said, appears to bear his unaccustomed dignity with a truly saintly grace.

Salt is a preservative. It really holds flavor. For example, if you chop up some fresh herbs, or even just garlic, the salt will extract the moisture and preserve the flavor.
The collective impact of power plants is their contribution to greenhouse gases which would cause warmer and wetter or warmer and dryer conditions. It is likely that the warmer weather would increase the loss of moisture to the atmosphere more than the slightly increased precipitation will add to the overall water balance creating a net moisture deficit.
(On the temperature of water in wells) The reason why the water in wells becomes colder in summer is that the earth is then rarefied by the heat, and releases into the air all the heat-particles it happens to have. So, the more the earth is drained of heat, the colder becomes the moisture that is concealed in the ground. On the other hand, when all the earth condenses and contracts and congeals with the cold, then, of course, as it contracts, it squeezes out into the wells whatever heat it holds.
We encourage people to take action as soon as they can safely return to their property. The longer mold has access to warmth, moisture and food, the more it will grow and spread, ... Getting structures cleaned up, dried out and coated can help minimize mold's impact and prevent it from returning.
