Today industries have become more aware of the environmental and social liabilities pertaining to their operations and products as the environmental issues has risen significantly during the past two decade. Environment management accounting (EMA) has being acknowledged by numerous businesses. The major incidents happened in Bhopal chemical leak (1948) and the Exxon Valdez oil spill (1989) has attracted worldwide media attention. For example, key environment issues have increased in worldwide…

and flowed into Terrebonne Bay. In fact, oil fouled 35 p% of the US Gulf Coast’s 2,625 kilometers of shoreline before the spill was done. The murky waters of the Mississippi River Delta hide a vast variety of life, hence the abundnt local commercial and sport fishng. But they also hide the longterm impacts of Deepwater Horizon’s oil spill from the public. The oil that reached shore has been absorbed into the sponge-like wetlands or drifted to the sediment bottom, hurting a shoreline that serves…

Increasing water shortages caused by global warming have led to further declining hygiene and sanitation, a spread of water borne diseases such as cholera and typhoid and a rise in diarrheal and skin diseases and other water related conditions. The effects of food insecurity have been well documented in the developing world. It is well known that lack of nutrition at…

more about it. This paper will discuss what Hydraulic fracking is, what has been the recent controversy around it, and finally what effects the injection of wastewater has on the ground water and seismic geology of the region. Generally speaking, hydraulic fracking is the process of drilling a hole and pumping water mixed with various chemicals and sand to fracture the rock, releasing the oil and natural gas for it to be brought back up to the surface. After they drill the initial hole for the…

Water is one of the most significant factor for a civilization to rise. Every civilization begins with its proximity to specific bodies of water and China is no different. The evidence of Chinese civilization’s beginning can be traced back in the Yellow river (Daniels/ Hyslop, p.60). Water also legitimizes leadership. Advanced irrigation and flood control system of their time were priorities to some kingdom for this increased overall production. The Roman aqueduct is an exemplary example of this…

the technology, the focus was flawed: despite being a humanitarian project, there was greater emphasis on pleasing donors and meeting ambitious targets for glory, than supplying water to impoverished communities. It is important to understand that Playpumps are only one solution amongst a myriad of other water supply systems, and careful assessment is required to identify which combination of these solutions is appropriate for each individual community. Therefore, a change in priority and…

fields and wild lands which is clearly epitomized in Brazilian slums. Urban sprawl largely contributes to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions as transportation and cycling are impractical. Urban sprawling degrades economy, land and biodiversity, water, energy, air and climate. As people shift to the outer edges of the city, agricultural land is lost which leads to a decrease in crop production, and causes loss of species habitat by terrestrial fragmentation. Increased energy use and carbon…

Problem and Solution Requirements. ^Egypt grand challenges^ 1- Reduce pollution 2- Improve sources of clean water. 3- Increase industrial base for Egypt. 4- Improve use of arid area. 5- Improve the use of alternative energies. 6- Deal with exponential population growth. 7- Reduce urban congestion. 8- Increase opportunities for Egyptians to stay and work in Egypt. 9- Work to eradicate public health issues (diseases) 10- Recycle and retain garbage for recycling 11- Climate…

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 the coastal plant communities and welcome the freshwater…

How Can We Know Fracking and Drilling are Safe? Fracking is injecting liquid, filled with chemicals and water, into the earth to reach oil or gas to then extract it. Fracking is controversial due to the fact that the earth, humans, and water supply is harmed in the process. Research has shown that fracking is not necessarily a safe process, but there are safer ways to complete the process. Toxicological Science can lessen the casualties of or effects to human health and the environment, but…
