Africa. The Garip basin has been significantly modified to be utilized by irrigation on agricultural lands, urban and industrial demands, and for the use of people. This river basin supplies water demand of 40% of the South African population (Bohensky, 2006). In fact, Africa’s major cereal production relies on the water supply of this river.…

important way of water-resources utilization in large rivers. Dam construction has played significant roles in flood control, irrigation, navigation, and energy supply; however, the enormous negative effects, such as landslides, ecological problems, and water quality decline, could surpass positive gains. In these days, the water has become the most important need of everyone. In the monsoon season, there is over amount of water. Because of no facility of storage of water, this amount of water…

many people over the past year. The whole state is hurting and yearning for water but there is one specific group of living things, animals and people, who are suffering the most.

California’s farmers are in desperate need to keep crops alive and supply their livestock with adequate amounts of water. California farmland has not been saturated enough to sustain crops…

which includes recreation, water supply, irrigation, flood control and power generation. However, most of them were built 50 years ago and are susceptible to damage. There are 312 dams in Virginia which have been regulated as high hazard dams by Dam safety officials. They are 82 more than in 2011, and 45% of them do not meet the current safety standards of dams. More than 7 million of residents of Virginia are using the drinkable water supplied by the 2830 public water systems. Many of these…

the report was developed to answer are first, will the growing population be supported by the groundwater supply?…

When she said that I was shocked, I thought how could she possibly not know? After reading the chapter China Town, in the book Cadillac Dessert by Marc Reisner, I finally got my answer. How could she have known there was a drought when almost all the water in California gets pumped down to the heavily populated desert area. The chapter begins with some background. The author states that California is essentially a semidesert, and most of this state gets less than twenty one inches a year in…

canal route, the water would also benefit the local farmer, especially for the area that was originally far away from the water source. The canal system in Eastern India provided evidence that not only the economy of transportation feature is working, its groundwater irrigation is also contributing for improving the agrarian economies (Xenarios et al., 2011). Originally, the irrigation cost was relatively expensive for the farmers, yet, after the canal is rebuilt and refined, the water resource…

I am originally from a small rural community in Ohio which has poor regulation on the air and water quality which humans depend on to sustain life. Throughout the city, hydraulic fracking has become a common method to obtain energy. This method of obtaining energy is misconceptualized to be a cleaner alternative to oil and coal, however, with a first hand on experience with living in this area allows me to witness otherwise. This city is known as Youngstown, Ohio. Hydraulic fracking is a…
