According to the Panel convened by Texas health officials the issue of the polluted San Jacinto River is not of great importance due to the statement provided on the Houston chronicle “Panel says ‘no’ to more San Jacinto River cancer studies.” In this article it clearly states that the panel will make no further investigations or tests to the issue because according to them there are not enough cases to make it a big deal. I believe that the panel is wrong for doing this because what they are…

different rivers, basins, or seas. With that knowledge, our Environmental Scientist have discovered pollution inside the Watershed, caused by human interactions, located around the Mobile River in Southern Alabama. The pollution found in the river is affecting the wildlife that are in that area or even wildlife that migrate from or passing through that area. Many of the pollutants found in the Mobile River are from transportation by boat, housing for people wanting to live on the river, water…

evoke different thoughts and feelings among those who view it. With that in mind, let’s begin. I chose to interpret, analyze, and judge a great piece of artwork currently hanging on the Ford Center in Downtown Evansville. That piece is called Vibrant River by Roger Stoller. This 41’ x 15’ abstract piece was designed out of stainless steel and was erected in 2013 as a “celebration of natural Evansville”. In this analysis, I will go through the principles of design and how this piece exhibits…

The Selenga River is the main body of water in Mongolia, as well as the major source of livelihood for the population by providing water for regional “agricultural irrigation” (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica; “Selenga (Selenge) River Delta”). However, the Selenga River is also a “substantial source of water for Lake Baikal,” a body of water in Russia that sustains an ecosystem with multiple endemic species, represents twenty percent of the world’s freshwater, and serves as a hub for…

book “The River” by Gary Paulsen I connect with Derek very well. This is because he does not know a lot about the wilderness. I do not know a lot either. Derek likes to learn about things he's never learned before. I love to learn about new things too! #4 The plot of this book is very realistic. It uses a lot of details about the wilderness. All of the thunderstorms are very realistic also. The story is realistic because not everything goes good for Brian and Derek. The River has one of…

The Mississippi River allowed US to trade with other…

“The Deep River”, there is a dividing among the culture and people in Africa. The people all lived together as a deep river because of how close and secluded they were as people. In the beginning of the story, it says that the chief was the face for all the people, and they were called the people of Monemapee. However, the people from the Talaote tribe had forgotten their origins and language due to their migration southwards. The conflict and splitting of culture happened in the deep river…

life, yet it can rip it away with one swift swell. For this reason alone, I find the oceans, lakes, and rivers offer such an array of enjoyment while it commands my respect for its authority. Water not only has the ability to drift from natural states, but it also brings pleasure and pain from its temperature. On a recent vacation I had the pleasure of experiencing white-water river rafting. River rafting provides a gaze through a cascading journey drifting along the seemingly still waters, the…

Return of the River is a powerful film, documenting the many challenges surrounding the Elwha River restoration project. The river is home to the indigenous people of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe, who depend on the flowing river and the salmon it provides. However, in the early 1900’s non-indigenous settlers began developing the region, which led to the construction of two dams in order to generate power for booming industry, drastically reducing its natural resources. As a result, the…
