Essay #2 What is the perfect blanket? This is all in my personal opinion by the way. I think the perfect blanket is a blanket that covers your entire body. The blanket has to be able to wrap around you, and the blanket should also be able to cover a bed in case it is cold in your room and you want to put the blanket on your bed. The perfect blanket also has to be lightweight in case you want to take it anywhere and you have a lot of heavy items to carry around. It should be heavy enough so…

Every summer algae blooms destroying Lake Erie as it goes. In 2011 lake Erie's algae covered a sixth of the waters. The more rain we intake that year leads to how much algae there is. In the 1960’s relentless dumping of sewage was experienced and that's when lake Erie earned the name “North America's dead sea” ( MICHAEL WINES) Climate change is a big problem with algae. The more wet and warm days you have the more algae you have. Runoff pollution is one cause that needs to be solved for helping…

Golfers often have a love-hate relationship with water features. Depending on your lie, they can be diabolical hazards or attractive landscape features. No matter how you choose to view them, streams, wetlands, ponds and lakes are integral components of many golf courses that serve a number of important functions; they provide water for irrigation, mitigate flooding by holding stormwater and can serve as important design features. Water features are rich, complex, living ecosystems that provide…

Water is very important to the human body, but if it is contaminated, what is the replacement for water? In the city of Fruitvale, there was a leak in Strawberry Creek of No-Bug Pesticide. If No-Bug Pesticide gets to 5.0 ppb (parts per billion), the water is unable to drink. Therefore, I think that bioremediation is the best solution to clean up Strawberry Creek because it poses no health problems, you can fix conditions if they are improper, but the conditions are hard to get through. First…

This fight over water in Israel was like the fight for oil. (Hanan) Water scarcity is becoming a bigger and bigger issue for our world. People are dehydrated and dying from chronic diarrhea. The earth is 75% water of that 97.5% of it is saltwater. Of the 2.5% drinkable freshwater, less than 1% of it is accessible to humans. A study has shown 1.1 billion people in this world don't have access to safe, clean drinking water. It's become such a problem that United Nation has gotten involved.…

The western region of the United States has faced several droughts over the years. Recently, the region has been inflicted with one of the most severe droughts since the dust bowl period. Citizens of the state are now being forced to use conservation efforts in order to reduce water usage and it’s been successful to an extent. However, among all this, Nestlé and it’s Arrowhead brand of bottled water have recently been under fire for extracting over 25,000,000 gallons of water each year for $524…

The prevention of the Asian Carp in the United States has been long standing battle. While first introduced as a food-fish and now for sport, Asian Carp is now viewed as an invasive species. In the summer of 2007 the U.S. Department of the Interior invoked the Lacey Act. In 2012, Congress implemented the “Stop Invasive Species Act”. This act charges the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to increase the speed of their strategies of controlling the invasion. Urgency is required due to the fact that the…

Water in a lunar eclipse is a very abnormal factor. Seeing as most water is frozen, discovering it in a liquid form would be a miracle, but it is a crucial part of survival. Collecting water is not the issue, the main problem lies with making it drinkable. A water barrel with a filter is recommended, though it rains only once a week. It wouldn’t work well if the water was in a barrel outside because that would freeze. So instead, after your water has been collected, bring the barrel inside so it…

You asked the following questions: “ESFR sprinklers were sent to UL laboratories to be tested. The results came back with an abnormal activation time on quite a few sprinklers. None of the sprinklers failed to discharge, but some activated in 13 to 17 seconds where 12 seconds is the normal activation time. At what point should all these heads be replaced? If heads that have been in service for over 20 years are not expected to react like a new one, how much extra time is allowed for them to…

A: The purpose of heating the seaweed was so that it turned into ash. We did this by placing the seaweed in a tin and burning it from the Bunsen burner. This was done so we could get iodine from the seaweed to use in the experiment. This produces the iodine we need to begin the experiment. A problem that could have occurred was placing too much seaweed in the tin so it took a lot longer to burn. Also, a bit of the seaweed were popping out the tin which is a health and safety concern so we must…
