Water cycle

Color key: Dashiell, Jack, Sean, and Andrew! iScience Project! Research summary: Most of Earth's fresh water is actually underground! How soils hold water as well as allow it to move underground is what our purpose is for our IScience Project! Surface water movement causes rocks and landscapes to erode because as the water moves it picks up particles and sediments and transport them to various locations around the target. The same thing happens underground as groundwater moves through the soil…

A water table marks the top of the saturated zone of groundwater. When something is saturated, it means one substance (Like soil) is filled with another substance (Like water). Therefore, the area filled with water is called the saturated zone. This zone can be called the phreatic zone or the zone of saturation. This is always the zone below the water table. Directly above a water table there is always a capillary fringe. The water table separates the capillary fringe from the zone of saturation…

Water Tables Comparisons This paper will be comparing the water table data for two locations, Berkeley, California and Terre Haute, Indiana. The work will compare each location’s water usage and characteristics about their water tables. Each location’s geographic position, topography, elevation, climate, wind patterns, and moisture levels are key factors for the supply and demand of their respective water tables. Berkeley, California is located on the east banks of San Francisco Bay. It…

I heard that you wanted to have a trout tank and you wanted my help on how to take care of it. The first thing you will need is Clean and fresh water, the water can not be polluted, and has to be cleaned twice a week. In the tank it has a water filter that keeps the water clean and unpolluted. The next thing you will need is going to be oxygen. They will need 7-10 ppm of oxygen if too low the trout will become sluggish and could die therefore if that happens oxygen needs to added. In the tank…

cooling efficiency, low cost, and reduced temperatures. The study found that cellulose pads gave high cooling efficiency, but at the same time increased the total cost. Date palm pads saved water compared to cellulose pads. The cost of using the date palm pad was less than the cellulose pads. Date palm pad decreased water, and declined the temperatures. The benefits of using date palm pads were more numerous than using cellulose pads. Keywords: Evaporative cooling, Cooling efficiency, pad, Date…

visitors. I heard the sounds of the other visitors, laughing after having been on a rollercoaster, screaming of the ones going down a rollercoaster. I could smell the sweet candy and the salty french fries beckoning me to spend my money. I can feel the water drops of the impending rain storm hit my head. We got to our destination and put our supplies in a locker for safekeeping. Putting my phone in the locker was hard, but I didn’t need a phone for where I was going. We walked a little farther,…

Emily Waldo Bezy Geo. Honors 15 August 2017 “Geography & It’s 5 Themes”  Geography is the study of the Earth, specifically the land and its features. The subject can be divided into two categories: Physical Geography and Cartography. Physical Geography entails actual points that can be located using latitude and longitude as well as landforms, such as mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, plateaus, etc. Cartography is the study and / or practice of drawing maps. In Cartography; one must…

Carolyn Wehner CEE 1440 Water Resources Engineering Take-Home Final Exam Due: 12/14/16 Introduction: With changing climates, ice caps melting more rapidly therefore causing the water levels of the world to rise rapidly. With this increase of fluid water on the earth water resources engineers are concerned how the excess water will affect infrastructure pertaining to water designs such as dams and reservoirs. Also future engineering designs will have to consider the change in water levels and…

Infiltration investigation Introduction Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. The infiltration rate is the velocity or speed at which water enters into the soil. It is usually measured by the depth (in mm) of the water layer that can enter the soil in one hour. On the 2nd of October, we were split into groups and we had to do an infiltration investigation. The experiment was set out to find out whether the infiltrations rate throughout the school were…

colonize the surface. The temperatures can freeze liquid water in a matter of seconds. Low gravity can let astronauts reach escape velocity, which can cause them to go into space. So why haven’t we decided to travel to Europa until now? With freezing temperatures ranging around 102 Kelvin, it’s no wonder Europa is covered in ice. To avoid the frigid temperatures, the space station will be heated up by hydronics. Hydronics is the use of water through…
