Water in a lunar eclipse is a very abnormal factor. Seeing as most water is frozen, discovering it in a liquid form would be a miracle, but it is a crucial part of survival. Collecting water is not the issue, the main problem lies with making it drinkable. A water barrel with a filter is recommended, though it rains only once a week. It wouldn’t work well if the water was in a barrel outside because that would freeze. So instead, after your water has been collected, bring the barrel inside so it…

What was once a prosperous city due to the automobile industry is now left poverty stricken.After this, the city was forced…

The result of our simulation were, if we do not fish wisely and not fish out all the fish. In order, for us to have enough fish to eat in future, then we run out of fish and would not survive. But, if we strategize wisely by fish a few fish at a time, so the unfished fish can reproduce more fish. Also, if we do so at a constant continuous rate, then we will be able to survive for a very long time. We, the people have to manage our common resources, because if not then we will run out of our…
