Water cycle dynamics in a changing environment: Improving predictability through synthesis

All science is the search for unity in hidden likenesses...The progress of science is the discovery at each step of a new order which gives unity to what had long seemed unlike... For order does not display itself of itself; if it can be said to be there at all, it is not there for the mere looking... order must be discovered and, in a deep sense, it must be created. What we see, as we see it, is mere disorder.
