Teays River Description and Location: The Great Teays River was a river that flowed north and north west in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia. The river was named after the valley found in Putnam County, WV (Teays Valley). Teays Valley was named after Stephen Teays who was an early settler. A few places I was familiar with that the river ran through was Scioto County and Chillicothe in Ohio and along the Interstate 64 in West Virginia from Charleston toward Huntington. The river during this time was used a drain for the eastern part of the US. It drained the watershed that is now found along now the Ohio River. The headwaters of the Teays were was made from well-known rivers from around…

with the name first, but it surely does fit our feelings for the town. Growing up in Tillamook, I start to notice more and more of the horrifying damage the rain water and rivers do to our town. According to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, "DO NOT ENTER FLOOD WATER!" flood…

snowpack melt in the summer. During upwelling events nutrient rich ground water would be brought up to the surface layers. If there is a spike in nutrient levels without any rainfall and low water temperature and low dissolved oxygen were observed, it usually implies to upwelling events. Upwelling can be localized and could also bring up the resting cysts of harmful plankton. Upwelling at known hotspots would lead to a bloom event during favorable conditions. A discrete sample was collected from…

Due to the flooding in Lower Onion Creek, Eric Rangel, 17, had to drop out of school due to the financial burden that flooding has imposed on his family. The Lower Onion Creek area flooded twice, once on October 31, 2013, and October 30, 2015. Many Lower Onion Creek residents are living in condemned homes five months after the latest flood. Eric Rangel said after the floods, the city condemned his home. His home was no longer inhabitable, and his family had to seek other shelter options.…

Downstream of dams, marked changes in fish populations occur as a consequence of blockage of migration routes, disconnection of the river and floodplain, and changes in flow regime, physiochemical conditions, primary production and channel morphology(McCartney, 2009, pg. 128). Due to the changes in the fish population caused by dams, the 1996 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Animals includes 617 freshwater fishes (McCartney, 2009, pg.128). Fresh water…

How long have people been fishing, not only for fun, but as a source of food? The answer, thousands of years, in “Egyptian artwork from 2000 B.C. shows people fishing” ( Hopkins 6). It is surprising, yet understandable knowing that even ancient people fished. It would of been an easy source of food. The lakes, rivers, streams, etc. were all full of a diverse population of fish, which would of made fish an easy meal to catch and eat. They were the first people to begin fishing so the…

The dam we are planning to build will not only help the environment it will slow down global warming and grow more crops for human consumption. This dam can also be used for irrigation purposes like growing crops for humans and animals alike. You can also use this water as clean drinking water. The salmon population will maintain similar to what was before because ninety-seven percent still survive. It will slow down global warming by not having us burn coal for energy creating greenhouse gases…

The formation of Mississippi Deltaic Plain (MDP) requires comprehensive work between the river and multiple coastal scales, such as temperature and space. It is very important to restore the MDP not only because it helps to understand the details that are needed to ensure the sustainability of the delta system, but it also possesses the potential to mitigate future damage from climate change to coastal ecosystem. The contribution of riverine inputs increase accretion and bulk density, benefit…

Nobody wants to come home to flooding or standing water in their home. Residential water damage is not only overwhelming, it can lead to costly damages if not taken care of quickly. Significant property damage, such as mold growth and major damage to wooden floors, cabinets, drywall, insulation and other structural materials and contents can occur when homes are not dried quick enough. When disaster strikes your home, you need qualified professionals to respond to water damage quickly and work…
