    Destabilizing Desiccation Circumstances in the Coachella Valley “Long ago, the Coachella Valley held ephemeral lakes and later an abundance of artesian wells. Now it is one of the driest places in North America, getting only 3 to 4 inches of rain every year. But it's also one of the fastest-growing regions in the state. The valley's population has surged from 1,000 in the early 1900s to about 500,000 today -- and is expected to soar to 812,000 by 2035” (Krieger Paragraph 6).…

    Cassamajor, Kimberly P1 R1 S4 Science Fair Research Paper Honors Chemistry Group Number 8 Research Paper The science fair topic at hand is whether or not chemical compounds affect water 's heat resistance/reception. In other words, how does the temperature of water (H2O) change when chemical compounds - such as sodium chloride and sucrose - are added? In this experiment, the independent variable is the chemical compound being tested while the dependent variable is the temperature of the water. The constants are the surface being tested on which is a stove, the amount of water being used, the amount of grams used for the sodium chloride and the sucrose, and the time that is set for the water to heat up.…

    Warm temperatures and rich soil make it no coincidence that California produces the most amount of food within all of the American states. With vast quantities of agriculture, comes the necessity for a great abundance of water. Agriculture uses close to 80% of the entire water supply in California (NDRC, 2014). As California continues to extract more and more groundwater as well as export water-demanding crops, the issue is only getting further from a resolution. The current appalling drought in California has been ongoing since 2011 and has proven to be one of, if not the most severe drought in the past 100 years.…

    Ever since we lived in Australia, I have always been fascinated by the idea of desalination. Taking regular sea water and turning it into drinking water seemed like something from the future. But for the past 10 years, many countries have made headway in making it work. Places like Singapore, Australia and America operate desalination plants along their ports. That's all great, but of course it takes energy to move something that wants to stay still.…

    Discussion The aim of this experimental report was to analyse and examine several water quality parameters including dissolved oxygen, water temperature and turbidity, in order to determine the overall state of health within Freshwater creek. Once the results from each parameter were collected, from both locations, it was that found they each had multiple interrelationships between each other as well as several anomalies which could have potentially skewed the final results. It was initially decided at the beginning of the dissolved oxygen experimentation that a reading would be collected from two locations with different features, in order to present a representation of the specific amounts of dissolved oxygen in different areas. It was evident…
