the world, there are many things that humans do to harm the environment, but one we may not think of is dams. Dams cause a devastating amount of damage that people don’t recognize because they create “green energy”. Dams block the natural flow of rivers, in turn causing problems with vegetation dying, fish migration, and the buildup of toxins. These problems cause unnecessary harm the surrounding ecosystem and sometimes unrepairable damage to the earth, which appeal to the moral principles of…

Running through the core of Golden, Colorado, Clear Creek plays an important role in the ecosystem of the Rocky Mountains. With this, Clear Creek acts as the habitat for many different species.

However, there are many different aspects to analyze when evaluating if Clear Creek is a suitable environment for trout to live in, such as physical, chemical, and biological…

we are going to follow the south side of the Platte River. We have to cross the river in about 170 miles. We have heard from other settlers that it's too wide to bridge so we have to use the sandbars to get across. That has been a stressful thought, hopefully no one has any troubles. It's also very shallow which could cause problems because the current will be going at a high speed. After 6 days of travel we have finally met the river crossing. It's current was strong and fast. Everyone…

the Brim River, which separates Palean from Lithos, was a huge barrier to take woven baskets to other places. It is not clear whether this observation is based on either how the river is in these day or how the river used to be. One might wonder if the river was less deep and dangerous in the past due to in other ages the whether could benefit the native to cross the river without using boats. Extreme cold or highest degrees of hot weather could allow Palean people to go over the river. In the…

discharge generated by an outburst flood from a glacial lake. Furthermore, modern Thames River occupies a small area during large floods and is clearly a misfit river channel.

There are many factors that contribute to the conclusion that the steelhead trout will and will not be able to reestablish themselves in the Arroyo Del Valle presently. Some of the most important factors for the re-establishment of the trout are the relatively stable pH, adequate DO levels, and low pollution. From our graphs, it is evident that the pH of the creek is consistent around 7, which is a pH that the steelhead can establish themselves and live in. Steelhead trout require a DO level…
