Fresh Water Problem and How to Solve It Water is a natural energy that comes from the earth and all of the living being on earth are depend on the water, without water humans and animals are dead. 75% of the surface of the earth is covered by the water, despite the amount of the water on the earth is abundant the problem is the amount of the fresh water that we have. About 97.5% of all water on the earth is salt water, this means that we only have 2.5% of fresh water left. Approximately 70% of…

1. Introduction Pre-industrial revolution, humans beings used to live a primitive life whereby they used wood for cooking, warming house; as biofuel. Even later when they lived in houses, they used candles to light up their homes. Post-industrial revolution, human beings discovered new energy resources which have made life much easier to live. And the discovery of these resources (coal and oil), have also supported the advancement of new technologies e.g. automobiles, airplanes, generation of…

around 5 million deaths. Most of these happen in developing countries because of the lack of fresh water to begin with. Water pollution in any country, only subtracts from the global amount of fresh water. Factory farming which is to blame for toxic runoff and pollutants getting into the groundwater, and industrial dumping only lowers the amount of drinking water for everyone worldwide. Just as much as water pollution affects drinking water, it also affects aquatic…

which atmospheric dinitrogen is converted into ammonia by biological processes or high energy environmental events like lightning strikes. Decomposition is the term used to describe the breaking down of organic substances. Human induced factors like runoff from agricultural and urban areas also can contribute to the ammonia levels in water. However, ammonia is toxic to organisms so when it is detected in a creek, it is classified as pollution. The reason how ammonia can enter the water and not…

pollution of the freshwater resources. For example, climate change provides an extremely comfortable environment for harmful algae to grow since the climate change higher the carbon dioxide level, affects the rainfall pattern to cause more nutrition to runoff into water bodies and feed more algae, rises the sea level and creates more shadow for algae, and upwells the coastal, which causes algae to grow rapidly and uncontrollably, and end up causes a pollution in freshwater resources (EPA,…

What my research aims to examine is whether or not Western North Carolina is abiding by sustainable measures in order to keep a well-kept environment by following the correct procedures of animal agriculture and whether or not this information is readily available for public access. The term animal agriculture is also known as “factory farming” and “animal husbandry”, meaning “a branch of agriculture concerned with the production and care of domestic animals” (Merriam-Webster). The animal…

of all greenhouse gas. While Carbon’s impact from deforestation is alarming another greenhouse gas affected by deforestation induces direct effected on climate change. The exchange of water vapor and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and land surface directed effects climate change as the global vapor flow has decreased by 4%, according to the National Academy of Sciences. This small decrease in vapor flow can change the natural weather pattern and completely reverse regular climate…

to hours after the onset of a storm. Due to the rapidly increasing water levels which flow with a devastating swiftness, flash floods can be deadly. When flash floods are compounded with an urban area in which much of the surface area is impermeable streets and buildings, runoff occurs rapidly because water is unable to sink into the ground. Additionally, mountainous areas are also very susceptible due to steep topography, which funnels water into canyons and gullies. If people or animals are…

(ABA), a plant stress hormone, which closes stomata when transported to guard cells, and, in turn, results in the decline of photosynthesis (Chang et.al, 2012). Inappropriate irrigation,industrial discharge, biological waste decomposition, and surface runoff can cause increased levels…

This report will compare the water quality of Freshwater Creek over the last three years using chemistry to show how the three chosen parameters are all linked and affect the overall quality of the water. Water is combination of two atoms, oxygen and hydrogen. When two hydrogen’s bond with one oxygen it makes a covalent bond. A covalent bond relates to the outer shell of electrons (valence shell) being shared with the neighbouring molecule for them to bond. A covalent bond only occurs between…
