Urea is an extremely harmful chemical fertiliser for soil and its increased use pollutes the soil while making it unfertile in the long run. Deforestation of the upper surface of the soil in mountainous districts is increasing rapidly which compels the farmers to increase the use of urea. Due to this, soil health is deteriorating further. The unbridled use of manure, coupled with the use of pesticides ultimately harms human…

….. Of Life, Taker of Souls People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, if only they that really meant. If someone is lying, looking a person in they eye will allow to to see right through them.

and the new measures to be developed are meant to control causative factors like uncontrolled urban sprawl, loss of natural drainage, the inadequacy of the storm water drainage system, lack of maintenance of existing systems, increase in impervious surfaces and lack of coordination between stakeholders involved in implementing the measures. The measures could be broadly classified into structural and nonstructural measures. These measures include institutional, physical, socio- economic and…

Demonstration of the Relationship between the Surface Area to Volume ratio on the rate of Diffusion Introduction: The surface area to volume ratio determines the rate of diffusion, the larger it is the faster nutrients will diffuse. Phenolphthalein acts as an acid-base indicator, turning pink in bases like NaOH and being colorless in acids like HCl. Using agar blocks as cells, a model was made to measure the rate of diffusion of different sized pink agar blocks changing to colorless ones.…

Evaluation - Beneath The Surface My chosen theme for ‘Beneath The Surface’ revolved around Disney, in particular the movies and stories. The majority of Disney movies are based on other stories that are R rated and twisted. Personally I’ve been brought up with Disney movies my entire life so I felt comfortable choosing this topic since I was highly knowledgable of certain characters and their true back stories which they were based upon. For this project I really wanted to illustrate and…

Due to the developments in technology, the agricultural system in Britain was completely overhauled. The system had to become more efficient to meet the demands of the growing…

The Murray-Darling Basin is facing many environmental, social and economic factors that affect the life around the basin. The Murray Darling Basin is facing many environmental issues that are caused by humans. The farmers near the MDB use fertilisers that run into the water when it rains and pollutes the water. The pollution from the fertilisers cause algae blooms to form. Another way that humans have affected the environment is through the use of irrigation for crops. The use of irrigation…

Point source: Built in or settled pollutant discharge facilities. In other words, single and identifiable source of pollution. For example, industrial wastes or certain chemicals such as mercury can be discharged from industrial discharge pipes to rivers or lakes. Waste disposal pipes can be another example. Non-point source: Release of potential pollutants from a range of activities without a single or definite source. Agricultural facilities can be considered as non-point sources. Stormwater…

The water quality of the UHS creek was found to have excellent water quality. There are other creeks, however, that have poor water quality. One way humans negatively affect water quality is by fertilizers and pesticide runoff, mainly used by farmers. Fertilizers and pesticides that drain into a river increases the amount of nitrate and phosphate considerably. This leads to a massive amount of algae growth, known as eutrophication. When the algae die, they are broken down by the bacteria which…
