The Murray Darling Basin The Murray Darling Basin is situated in Australia, it is one of the largest river systems in the world, it is divided into the northern basin (Darling system) and the southern Basin (Murray system). The Basin serves a significant role in supporting a wide range of native and introduced species of plants, animals and ecosystems. Currently salinity management is one of the most important environmental challenges facing the Murray-Darling Basin. If the salinity is not managed there could be a serious impact on surrounding plant growth, biodiversity, land productivity and the supply of water for human needs as the water quality would have decreased drastically. Salinity is a term that describes the salt content of…

According to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, "DO NOT ENTER FLOOD WATER!" flood…

snowpack melt in the summer. During upwelling events nutrient rich ground water would be brought up to the surface layers. If there is a spike in nutrient levels without any rainfall and low water temperature and low dissolved oxygen were observed, it usually implies to upwelling events. Upwelling can be localized and could also bring up the resting cysts of harmful plankton. Upwelling at known hotspots would lead to a bloom event during favorable conditions. A discrete sample was collected from…

Downstream of dams, marked changes in fish populations occur as a consequence of blockage of migration routes, disconnection of the river and floodplain, and changes in flow regime, physiochemical conditions, primary production and channel morphology(McCartney, 2009, pg. 128). Due to the changes in the fish population caused by dams, the 1996 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Animals includes 617 freshwater fishes (McCartney, 2009, pg.128).

The dam we are planning to build will not only help the environment it will slow down global warming and grow more crops for human consumption. This dam can also be used for irrigation purposes like growing crops for humans and animals alike. You can also use this water as clean drinking water. The salmon population will maintain similar to what was before because ninety-seven percent still survive. It will slow down global warming by not having us burn coal for energy creating greenhouse gases…
