The systems and networks that make up this infrastructure are often taken for granted, and a disruption to one of these systems will have dire consequences across other sectors. There are 16 critical infrastructure sectors in the United States whose assets, systems, and networks are vital to our security, national economic security, national public health…

Environmental hazards have accumulated quickly and are causing large problems in areas populated by the poorest segment. (2) Income for the town of Djenné is dependent on the marketplace…

Coal Industries Coal-fired power plants are the leading contributors to the crisis of water pollution. The coal industry has dumped more toxins into the waters across the country than the other top nine industries combined (Closing the Floodgates 2013). A total of 5.5 billion pounds of water pollution have been released into the water by coal power plants each year. Millions of gallons per day of water laced with arsenic, mercury, selenium, and lead are dumped into rivers, streams, and lakes…

Paril Chanchpara ID: 1115028 Course: ENVT 725 F-02 Final Project: Fresh Water Scarcity and Depletion  What is Water Scarcity? Water scarcity would be the loss of plentiful reachable water basics to reach water needs inside apart. Water scarcity comes to water shortfall, water strain or deficits, and water disaster. The comparable new approach of water strain is a complication in obtaining sources of clean water to be used all through the duration of time; it could bring about in addition…

Not only does it hurt the environment but also the people and wildlife living in it. Fracking is short for Hydraulic Fracking. Fracking is drilling deep into the earth’s crust and injecting chemicals to collect oils and gas. Fracking is unnaturally creating cracks in shale rock and cause earthquakes. It is dangerous for people living in and around fracking sites. The ground water becomes contaminated and the air is polluted with disease and cancer causing chemicals. The negatives outweigh the…

can be dangerous for the workers when dealing with heavey equipment and fracking chemcials. “Although most of the earthquakes are small in magnitude (the strongest measured 5.2), their relationship with the storage of millions of gallons of toxic wastewater does little to ease the fears over fossil energy's long list of externalities”(Case Studies, 2018). Fracking earthquakes are dangerous because they can produce big earthquakes especially when the fracking fluid goes deep into the fault line…

In another time of war, WWII, water would be a means of power and advancement. Once again Americans weren’t eager to get involved in war as many saw it as far and distant. It wasn’t until we were attacked at Pearl Harbor that our perception of the war changed.

Japanese planes bombed the naval base in Hawaii and flew into ships. Naval warfare in the…
