if approved. Native Americans argue that the proposed pipeline will damage their vital water sources and affect the whole reserve, making their water undrinkable and harming their health. Crude oil pipelines, usually buried underground, can easily contaminate water (“How Can You Identify Pipeline.”), which in turn toxifies the water sources communities rely on for consumption and daily life (Harris, Robbie). Water is the liquid of life, and they should be prioritized; however, unfortunately, oil…

that is occurring all over the United States today. Hydraulic fracturing also known as fracking is a crisis that is occurring all over the United States today, even in Colorado. Fracking is when industries drill about a million to a ton of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals under high pressure into a well underneath the earth to retract resources such as oil and natural gas. Natural gas is flammable gas, consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons, occurring naturally underground and…
revolutionized the way humans get water, and as a result, modern countries are still using the same basic concept. As Rome grew, emperors needed a way to supply water to cities. Engineers developed a system of pipes that transported water from lakes and rivers to a city. After the water reached the city it first went to a system of brick-and-concrete tanks called castella,or castles. From there it was relocated through pipes and sent throughout the city to places like public baths and fountains.…

Detroit River. We have about 23,000 km3 of water covering a span of about 244,000 km2. According to Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (2013), the Great Lakes contain the largest supply of fresh water in the world, holding about 18% of the world’s total freshwater and about 90% of the United States’ total freshwater. The water in the Great Lakes region is a very valuable resource that has had, and still has, a huge impact on life. This water has altered the landscape and influenced…
generators. The process includes injecting a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals at a high pressure to break shale rocks and release the natural gas inside. Amongst many shale formations in the U.S., the shale area that spreads from eastern Ohio to western Pennsylvania is called Marcellus. The shale rocks are nearly 5,000 to 8,000 feet underground. Hydraulic fracturing has been used in more than one million U.S. wells. One to eight million gallons of water is used just to complete just one…

the freshwater resources is critical. To begin with the water cycle, it is different than the past due to the warming temperature. In the past, the water cycle is balancing the evaporation and the precipitation. However, now, the warming temperature increases the evaporation rate, which means that there will be more evaporation from both the land and sea. Moreover, the warming temperature also increase the ability of the cloud to hold more water vapor, and end up leads to the increasing…
