These were heralded as signs of human ingenuity at the time, however they came at a cost. According to the Hydropower Reform Coalition, a significant decline in water quality is one of the concerns. Organic materials from within and outside the river would build up behind dams and begin to consume a successive amount of oxygen as they decompose. This, in many cases, causes algae and in turn, creates an area that is unable…

Imagine this… muddy water, fish dying, and smelly lakes. Yup. These were the descriptions of the U.S’s waterways before 1972. We were in serious trouble. Some waterways became wasteland of smelly water and floating sludge. All over the country people were troubled about how we employ water and they let the government know. The effect was the Water Act of 1972 and its goals of making water "fishable and swimmable." In 1972, Congress passed a law called The Water Act of 1972 to help protect and…

two it brought up that the water has “Mercury,phosphorous and other hazardous elements.” This makes a big problem for worker trying to save the Everglades. There is hope though as “880 million dollars in state money would go to restore the water quality in the Everglades.” If water is good what still poses a threat? Farming is another big threat. Why? Because much of the former Everglades 50% to be exact was turned into farmland as said in all the sources. For the biggest industry there the…

The choice of a pond filter biomedia is critical to the health of your fish pond. In the biomedia of a fish pond filter, bacteria colonies work to purify the water. The better the biofilter, the smaller your homemade pond filter needs to be. And don't worry, pond filters are relatively easy to make. The first consideration when building a fish pond filter is SSA, or specific surface area. See the chart below, where SSA is measured in square feet per gallon of different pond filter biomedia. A…

Today, in a society full of advanced technology, people think our country is perfect. With water resistant phones, 3-D holographic advancements, and cars equipped with automatic braking systems, it is no wonder Americans have this perceived idea of perfection. However, our country is suffering from a problem that we thought only third world countries suffered from, and our carelessness about this issue is not helping our increasingly dangerous situation. Water is everything; water is everywhere.…

This laboratory experiment was conducted in Greenfield Station Genesee Creek River to determine the environment’s effect on the amount of diverse biological communities in a lotic river. Shredders are macroinvertebrates that feed on coarse particle organic material (CPOM). Macroinvertebrates usually stay in the same habitat and do not migrate, which may be due to them being trapped or frequently receiving a good source of food. They are also an essential part of the freshwater ecosystem by…

Saving the World One Shower at a Time The scientist and the participants are trying to do their part in saving the environment with cutting their shower times. The scientist chose this topic to reduce the amount of water the scientist and the participants use during the shower. Showers, toilets, and washing machines are the most wasteful when it comes to water. The average American shower per participant uses an average of 17.2 gallons of water each time the participants showers (1).The…

A root cause analysis (RCA) is a process used to determine why an incident or error occurred and used to develop effective solutions to prevent a reoccurrence. This process addresses three basic questions, what is the problem, why did it occur, and what can be done to prevent it (Root Cause Analysis, nd)? The root cause analysis is not designed to point fingers at individuals, its purpose is to help fix the issues or problems within systems or processes. Improvement is the goal, not to blame.…
