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…

California groundwater law has been diverse. Aside from groundwater laws, the concept of adjudicated basins has been a way to manage groundwater. In adjudicated basins, the court has jurisdiction, watermasters are appointed, local management districts exist, and it is the economics associated with groundwater pumping that determines the behavior of the groundwater users (California Department of Water Resources California's Groundwater Update 2013: A Compilation of Enhanced Content for…

Fluoride is one of the most toxic substances known to humans. The substance is made up of a salt of hydrofluoric acid consisting of two elements, one of which is fluorine. You may have heard of this toxic acid, that is because it is commonly used at dentist offices. Fluoride is used by dentists to clean bacteria off your teeth and reduce tooth decay. Studies have shown that for years, the government has been poisoning the public water supply without citizens explicit consent. Many are convinced…

in, because as the ice melts, the water level rises. You do not want to drain off the melted icewater, because it will help keep the food cool and make the ice last longer. It may not be ice anymore, but it is still much cooler than the surrounding air---even in the cooler. You will need a huge amount of ice for coolers. Buy and/or freeze as much as possible! It is best to make ice yourself by freezing water in large containers. See the section later in this article on how to have enough ice.…

A Man-Made Disaster Ever since there was first news of the switch in water sources, some Flint residents could not believe what they were hearing. “We thought is was a joke” Rhonda Kelso, a long-time resident, says “People my age and older thought, ‘They’re not going to do that.’” But that’s exactly what happened and the unforeseen consequences would be life altering. “Mom... why is the water brown?” Kelso’s daughter would ask her mother. Kelso would try to avoid the water that she believed…

generated revenue, while providing an opportunity to reduce costs (Vandenbroucke & Templer, 2006, p.10). This will then in turn, increase outsourcing and give HUS a competitive advantage (Vandenbroucke & Templer, 2006, p.8). Furthermore, to prevent quality issues raised by consumers like power shortages, there…
