Caption
A forested, steep catchment on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where rain arrives almost every week in winter, and a dry shrubland catchment near Jacobina in Bahia, northeastern Brazil, where long rainless spells fall between storms. Color shows land cover, blue lines are the stream network, and the red circle marks the outlet each catchment drains into. Relief is exaggerated 1.9 times (Ali Ameli, University of British Columbia).
