In various parts of the passage “Goodbye, Bottled Water?” it explains how plastic water bottles take years to biodegrade, leaking toxic additives into the ground water. My main reason for being against bottled water is because it hurts our…

Underneath North America’s Great Plains lies the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the largest in the world. Since it is part of the High Plains Aquifer system it underlies 80% of the High Plains. The aquifer yields 30% of the water used for irrigation in America, and 82% of the drinking water to the High Plains. After WWII, central pivot irrigation became available and the High Plains aquifer system became one of the most agriculturally productive regions in the world. Rodger Funk, one of the first…

Purpose: The intended purpose of the following lab report is to measure if current human development does not change, will ground water sustainability be affected?

The drawback to groundwater is that especially in arid regions, groundwater can only be regenerated when there is extensive precipitation. However, there has not been enough developments in groundwater infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa. To improve the agricultural sector…
