Water is essential to life. The importance of securing water supply can hardly be overstressed. In the United States, desalination and membrane technologies are used to extend municipal water supply, produce high-quality industrial water supplies, and reclaim contaminated supplies. Wider adoption of desalination is constrained by financial, environmental, and regulatory issues. Although desalination costs have dropped steadily in recent decades, further decline may not happen with existing…

Pipeline transport entails the movement of goods from on point to another through a pipe. Various chemically stable liquids and gases are transported through a pipeline. Primarily, pipelines are used to move crude and refined petroleum including oil, natural gas, and bio-fuels. Pipelines also move beer, water, slurry and sewerage. Construction of oil pipelines has often been a subject of great concern to many people. key concerns are often related to environmental and economic impacts of the…

Once the hole is past the deepest water aquifer, the drill pipe is removed and replaced casing. Next, cement is pumped down the casing. When it reaches the bottom it is forced back up between the borehole wall and pipe creating another barrier between the bore and any freshwater sources. In some…

When confronted with an obstacle, the easiest and the most efficient way to achieve a resolution is always the most desired; however, when assessing the act of fracking, it may be one hole that should not be drilled. Fracking is the process of using hydraulic machinery to access oil and gas in areas of the Earth’s crust that are otherwise hard to retrieve. Where there are some benefits to using this system, the consequences of fracking are far more catastrophic to our environment. Ethically,…

the water already being processed, there would be plenty of water available. This water could be used as potable water, for drinking or cooking, or for laundry or irrigation. The reclaimed water could be reinjected (deep well injection) into the aquifer to offset the amount being pumped every day. Enclosed is a flow chart through a waste water and water plant already in use. There is little or no modification required to accomplish recycling of water. Once the water completes the treatment at…

Various Definitions:-  Rural Area:- In general, a rural area is a geographic area that is located outside the cities and towns. The Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services define the word "rural" as encompassing "...all populations, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural. Rural areas are also known as 'Countryside' or a 'village' in India. It has a very low density of…

Coastal geomorphology is similar to geomorphology, but the area of focus is on seas and oceans (Davidson-Arnott, 2010). Researches study the development and progression of the coast and how it reacts under particular conditions including sea level changes. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report in 2013 stated that sea level rise will occur in approximately 95% of the ocean area, with estimates that seas will rise between 26 and 82 cm. Therefore, we can assume it is probable…

necessary liquid. High and low tides introduce a supply of salt from the Atlantic which can severely interfere with the fresh water supply from rivers feeding into the Chesapeake, with major complications resulting such as salt intrusions within aquifers. These major issues with the water can be demonstrated through the text, “Because the adjacent river and creeks became brackish as water levels rose, reliable sources of water would have been scarce in the seventeenth century,” (Blanton,…

Geo Pod III CONS Good morning Madame speaker. Today I will be discussing the topic of why Canada should not sell water in bulk exports to other countries. The four points I will be discussing today will consist of: environmental consequences, economic instability, the free trade agreement, and water’s renewability. Water exports are a recurring, ever-controversial theme in Canada. Canadian public opinion has always reacted negatively to the idea of selling our most precious natural resource to…

HYPOTHESIS: As the ice cubes melt in the warm water, the melted water from the ice should flow towards the bottom of the cup because the melted colder water is denser than the surrounding water. PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment is to improve my ability to observe an experiment. In addition, it will help aid me in making proper observations while also drawing conclusions. RAW MATERIALS: Clover Valley food color and egg dye blue food coloring contains FD&C Blue #1…
