Name: Yuen Ki Wong (Cindy Wong) 1). How might fracking economically impact the country in the near and far future? Fracking is a process that entering large quantities sand and the water chemical agent into the high-pressure pump through the wellbore to the reservoir deep underground shale. Fracturing is considered as broad prospective demand for oil and gas, leads an improvement in unemployment rate and ensures the future’s energy supply. However, according to the Earthwork in the “important…

Broadly described, climate change has the potential to impact quality of life of permanent residents and tourists in Westernport Bay. Primarily, this concerns public health and recreation and leisure for residents in the community. Public health is a key concern regarding the social impacts of climate change on Westernport Bay. There are numerous potential health impacts that relate to extreme temperatures, floods and storms and increased exposure…

longer if the human race continues to destroy them. “No water, No life. No blue, No green.” – Sylvia Earle. The oceans are dying, and life as we know it is dying right…

well. This architectural works led to the creation of some new architectural works and ideas such as: arch, Vault Concrete dome and Basilica plan just to mention few. Am aqueduct is an ancient invention of the Greeks that was used to transport water to the people in the cities. Aqueducts are built with set or archs, semi-circle frameworks with support by the side known as buttress. A buttress is used as reinforcement for the semi-circle to allow for heavy weights on the top of the…

production in the United States is growing in volume and in toxicity tremendously. Our everyday products contain many toxic chemicals like mercury or flame retardant chemicals. When these substances combine with other trash, our waste has an impact on public health and in the environment. This impact has already started and it is destroying our ecosystem. Our rivers are polluted, our forests have trash, and our oceans have oil spills. We need to make a change. If we do not make an effort now, we…

Chevron/Texaco is responsible for one of the worst toxic chemical spills ever. Oil and drilling byproducts were dumped into the area near the city of Nueva Loja over a span of 21 years, resulting in many environmental and health problems. It all started with oil drilling in the Lago Agrio Oil Fields of Ecuador. After their establishment in Ecuador in 1964, the Texaco oil rigs began wreaking havoc on the local communities. (Amazon Watch, 2013). Texaco, as well as the prominent Gulf Oil…

Valley as a reservoir. It took about ten years to build the O’Shaughnessy Dam and it was completed in 1923. According to the Hetch Hetchy Restoration Study, the dam supplies water for 2.4 million people and approximately 85% of San Francisco’s water. 6 While we are currently in a drought, water is becoming more scarce, but water demand is increasing in the United States. As a matter-of-fact, demographers expect California alone to add 400,000 new residents per year—increasing its population…

To do so, they use PR. The duty of PR is to safeguard reputation, deal with emergencies, and fabricate a consistent image for the organisation at hand. ‘Public relations’ is a broad title with plenty alternate names, however is…

rock releases the natural gas, petroleum, or water that could be trapped inside these underground natural reservoirs. The wells are drilled vertically into the earth’s surface for hundreds or thousands of feet and include horizontal or directional extensions to allow for further reach. Pipes encased with steel and cement are then inserted into the drill holes, and are used to inject a mixture of water, chemicals, and sand into the ground. This water mixture is known as fracking fluid and can…

affects the physiology of animals by changing their behaviors. The ion concentrations associated with the water and the organism’s survival can also be affected (Mahassen, El-Deeb Ghaxy, 2011). This includes increased levels of basicity. The NaOH spills can also contribute to changing pH levels. This is a very popular compound used by chemical industries. NaOH is significantly found in the water…
