The development of urban areas involves destruction of forests and other native bird habitats, which can lead to a loss of diversity and abundance of birds and native plants that can no longer survive in the new environment. This is troubling as birds perform certain ecosystem services, services humans can benefit from, such as pollination,…

he Romans constructed aqueducts to bring a constant flow of water from distant sources into cities and towns, supplying public baths, latrines, fountains and private households.

For others within the organization they make time for themselves by asking me to go to the Houston Permitting Center. Many things can result from poor time management. For myself, this has resulted in not very much time to eat lunch and also I have almost missed the deadline for turning in one of the reports. My day starts with going straight to the jobsite. After…

There are various surveys showing opinions on the Internet, but none specifically focusing on the area where I lived. So, I decided to create my own survey.
