The agriculture region, which incorporates CAFOs, is the principle contributor of pollutants to lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. it has been positioned that states with immoderate concentrations of CAFOs offers with not unusual 20 to 30 extreme water fantastic troubles every 12 months. due to manure management troubles (EPA, 2001). This contamination may be because of surface discharges or different kinds of discharges. surface discharges may be due to heavy storms or floods that purpose garage…

Chittenango Ovate Amber Snail. The Chittenango ovate amber snail was federally listed as endangered in 1978 (43 FR 28932 28935, July 3, 1978). Their range is restricted to one location, a 100 foot waterfall located at Chittenango State Park in Central New York. This species feeds on species grown within the waterfall spray, such as minute algae and microflora. Chittenango ovate amber snails live approximately two and a half years and mate from the months of April until June. They are…

This week’s lecture was titled “California Mining and Environmental Legacies” and it was lectured by Peggy O’Day, who is an environmental geochemist that specializes the use of spectroscopic and microscopic methods. The main argument of this week’s lecture is that gold was prominent and it brought much to California, however, it left behind last longing consequences of the discovery of gold, especially water. The lecture begins with the history of how gold possibly have formed in the Sierra…

The River Flint. Flint was in a state of financial emergency at the time, and they did this in order to save funds. Lake Huron’s water is much more pure than the Flint river’s, because the Flint River is contaminated by industrial waste, making the quality of water much worse. Another thing that puts them at fault is the fact that they didn’t add the anti­corrosive agent to the water. This made the water corrode the metal, putting large amounts of lead into the water supply. This was probably an…

Without water at our fingertips, how would society differ? Could inadequate water supply and water quality lead an economically thriving society into poverty? Insufficient water supply and water quality threaten the lives of over 2.6 billion people (Benjelloun and Tarrass 240). Many know water’s importance, but do they know the effects regarding the lack of clean water? Deficient water supply and water quality leads to inadequate sanitation, impaired education, increased food scarcity, and an…

Lake Erie needs our help desperately! The danger is that Erie is so polluted with raw sewage and poisonous chemicals, blue and green algae is a huge problem right now, because of the heat, it keeps on reproducing this fatal mush. 1960 was the most polluted it's ever been, so much pollution they protested to make the lake better. The lake was full of Nitrogen and Phosphate. Dead fish littered the shoreline, the lake was remembered as “dead lake’’. The United States signed a treaty with Canada…

Glow sticks have many uses to them and many people use them in a number of situations as well. One important aspect of glow sticks is that they are water proof, so if you ever go scuba diving or just want something to light up in your pool then glow sticks are perfect for that. Another feature of them is that they do not require any batteries at all so they are very simple to use, and one final thing that is interesting about glow sticks is they generate an insignificant, or small, amount of…

Good afternoon, I am Lorraine Burrows, and today I am here to speak about the flooding problems that Texas faces each year, and more specifically, the economic impacts that it has on our city and the state as a whole. My group members will be speaking about the social and environmental impacts that this flooding has, however, since money plays such a large role in this problem, I will be speaking about this. There is no doubt that Texas faces weird patterns in their water supply. From drought to…

test kit was used to test the hardness of the water. An objective microscope and a slide were used to examine the sample from the stream for phytoplankton, benthos and zooplankton. A thermometer was used to measure the temperature of the water and the air in degrees Celsius…
