Water supply

In 1798, Thomas Malthus theorized that population growth was an impending danger that if not properly checked would result in an unfavorable outcome for human society. The main idea behind his theory was that the accelerated growth of the human population is unsustainable and that we are set to eventually outpace our ability to produce food, leading to a major catastrophe. Two hundred years later, Thomas Malthus’ theory fortunately has not come to fruition, however, it is still a major topic of…

The basic principal behind the Light Water System is simple. Water is heated up using an artificial chain reaction in the core, Nuclear fission continues this reaction by releasing several million times more energy than any chemical reaction could (Kurzgesagt, video: 1/3). This heat converts the water into steam, turning a turbine, which continues to the generator and so forth. The Light Water Reactor became the most common thermal-neutron reactor because of its simplicity and low cost.…

it brings the same effects as tear gas. Some of the effects that people went through were swelling and burning of the eyes, their bodies contorted and peoples throat were constricted to the point of bursting. When inhaled MIC gas reacts with the water in the body making it impossible it breathe. This accident was caused by the safety system not having any maintenance…

Water shortages have almost always been a problem for the arid Texas land, but the continued growth of the population in Texas has exacerbated the problem quite a bit. Fortunately, the government and residents of Texas have multiple steps they can take to mitigate the effect of an ever-increasing population on our limited water supply. At least three things that the Texas government could do would be to fix our current water system infrastructure to prevent useless water loss, build pipelines to…

The air we breathe is essential to keep us alive, the same also applies about water. From every form of life, to the production of as little as a paper clip to as big as an airplane, everything needs water. Water covers 70 percent of the earth’s surface with 96.5 percent found in seas and ocean, known as saltwater or seawater. The rest 3.5 percent, is known as freshwater which the primary source of water needed to support our life, found in groundwater also in glaciers and the ice caps of…

California is now going into its fourth year of severe drought. A drought is a period of drier-than-normal conditions that causes water-related problems. California is in serious trouble and if we don't do anything about it, there will be dangerous consequences. Results of the drought include economic problems, water levels dropping, and long term impacts. The absence of water is leading to many economical problems. The drought is costing California about $2.7 billion year and is forcing many…

million “shade balls” have been placed in the 175-acre reservoir. The balls were implemented to cool the water and provide shade. This helps fight the promotion of algae, bacterial growth, and chemical reactions that spread harmful substances. Created by LADWP biologist, Brian White, shade balls were inspired by “bird balls” used to prevent birds in ponds along runways. Shade balls are filled with water, encompassed by black polyethylene so that they do not blow away. Their outer coating…

found the climate had a big change through the stalactites. And such a change no matter where it occurs, will lead to very serious consequences. The huge lake was completely dry at the time, which shows that the water level of the Nile is indeed very low, so that can no longer supply water to the Fakelumu Lake. The…

applied toward critical District maintenance. The absence of property taxes in 2013 created a deficit that was absorbed by extraordinary revenues including lucrative conserved water transfers. What are some of BVID’s Capital Improvement Projects? BVID is always exploring ways to be more efficient and reduce wasted water while providing the best customer service as possible. One way to do that is to systematically replace ditches with pipe. Our pipeline projects are always evolving and…
