Wastewater

In the paragraphs post ceding the entry, I will be touching on the issues of water scarcity both throughout the world as a whole, and the U.S. in particular. Various solutions have been proposed, but which will best suit the greater population. You can expect different opinions from different points of view, as well as my own. Toward the end of the twentieth century global warming, a surprising factor, began to warm the earth’s atmosphere at a high acceleration (Levin). Due to the fact that…

I chose the Pensacola Naval Air Station, Pensacola Florida because that is the site in which the majority of my family lives and works on. This station is home of Aviation Schools, Air Technical Training, Marine Aviation Training, and the Blue Angels. This station was placed on the National Priorities List in 1989 due to the contaminated surface and ground water, soil and sediments. This contamination dates back to before World War 2 where there weren’t any regulatory guidance on dumping waste…

It also talks about how much money will be put in to solve the issues. Other explanations include information about water not being safe enough to even drink. Also the government has been denying a lot of their request. Three million gallons of wastewater carrying arsenic, lead. Other heavy metals…

Shewanella haliotis is a species of rod shaped, gram negative, mo-tile bacilli that grow aerobically or anaerobically and produce hydrogen sulfide. Members of Shewanella were found in a variety of places, such as activated sludge, seawater, sediment, invertebrates, and fish, but are usually found in marine environments in warm climates. Shewanella can live on land, deep inside Earth, or underwater. As their habitat changes Shewanella changes with it, finding new ways to breath. This bacterium…

presently is water quality. Years of increasing population with concomitant residential development, unaccompanied by wastewater infrastructure has resulted in nitrogen pollution (Ashworth, n.d.). On the cape, around 85% of the population uses septic systems, which removes harmful pathogens, but does not treat nitrogen and other nutrients (Weeks, 2013). This results in nitrogen-rich wastewater passing into the ground (Ashworth, n.d.). This groundwater moves to marshes and estuaries…

An Australian member of parliament (MP) has gone to extremes to prove his point: He set a Queensland river -- the Condamine River -- on fire. http://www.care2.com/causes/why-are-we-moving-rhinos-to-australia.html Did he go mad? Why did he do it? Jeremy Buckingham, a representative of the South Wales Greens party, is concerned about the methane http://www.care2.com/causes/5-disturbing-similarities-between-the-porter-ranch-methane-leak-and-flint-water-crisis.html that's been bubbling from the…

Colonialism, dating from the 17th century to the 20th, accounts for many bitter, demoralizing legacies, one of the most prevalent being education; the Indian Residential School System. The system was created for the purpose of removing children from the influence of their own culture and assimilating them into the dominant Canadian culture, taking away their unique practices. Children in the Residential School System were instructed in an institutional, European approach. This differs from the…

t’s the season to pause and reflect on the things that we are thankful for - our family, friends and neighbors, good health and good fortune, and the meals before us. Many of us will gather around the table and give thanks for the things and the people that enrich and brighten our lives every day, especially when we might overlook them. But one of the most important things that so many of us are grateful for is something seldom mentioned at Thanksgiving dinner: water. It’s something so basic…

process of drilling down into the Earth and injecting high-pressurized water mixture into the ground, creating cracks in the deep-rock formations and allows oil and gas to flow out of the wells. According to The United States Geological Survey, wastewater disposal used in fracking is the main reason leading to the instability of the ground (Susan Hough, http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/office/hough/SRL_Hough_Page_2016.pdf). This pressurized liquid is not only believed to cause most of earthquakes but…

1. What is the geographic distribution and habitat of Azolla? The geographic distribution of Azolla species around the world, some in North America, South America, Alaska, tropical and subtropical America, upper reaches of the Nile to Sudan, most Asia and coast of tropical Africa and in the Caribbean region. The habitat of Azolla is freshwater ditches, ponds, lakes and sluggish rivers of warm temperature and tropical regions. 2. What is unique about this fern? Why is it called ‘Azolla…
