desired outcome. Research shows how water distribution is essential to plant growth. Both garden beds at the Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy need water, but different amounts. In our area, because of climate change, Chattanooga has a rainfall that alternates between flooding, normal, and drought situations. One way to address this issue of the climate-change conditions, is to use a raised bed, which would be conducive to sprinkler or irrigation system. Water is a major asset to the…

Analysis: Public Health Implications Arsenic in drinking water is a world wide environmental public health threat. Anyone who drinks water contaminated with high amounts of arsenic can be effected by it, but developing countries are the ones who seem to suffer the most from arsenic poisoning. The united states and the World Health Organization (WHO) applied a strict standard for arsenic in drinking water to be at or below 0.01 mg/1 or 10 parts per billion, but unfortunately not all countries…

the balloon filled with sublimed dry ice, various water samples, and a golf ball. The ultimate goals of this experiment were to collect the most precise measurements of displacement of the balloon in the tap water, the weight of the three water samples versus the original cylinder, and diameter of the golf ball in order to use the formulas given to correctly calculate the density of the water samples and gold ball. The ultimate goal of the water displacement was to used to pressure formula to…

purpose for performing part III of the lab was to investigate and compare the water potentials of different types of plants; namely, tubers (potatoes and yams) and non-tuber fruits (apples). To determine the water potentials, our focus during the lab was to collect data for osmosis rates in different sucrose concentrations. Background Information Now that we have discussed osmosis and free water, we can introduce the idea of water potential to mathematically represent concentration gradients. In…

This report’s main purpose is to analyse the strategies to improve clean water availability in African countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa geographically consist of all countries in Africa except Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, and Western Sahara. This region holds some of the greatest challenges regarding water scarcity and sanitation (WHO=UNICEF 2008 cited in Montgomery, Bartram & Elimelech 2009, p. 1018), moreover, there is very limited amount of…

The best way to determine which concentration of salt water is ideal for hatching brine shrimp is to create a controlled experiment. This experiment would utilize four containers of water including; a 2% salt water concentration, a 4% salt water concentration, a 6% salt water concentration, and a container of fresh water, to set a base number of brine shrimp hatchlings for the experiment. Besides containing the salt water concentration, and the brine shrimp eggs, each container should receive…

Background: Water is used for many activities and by many people, but the water we have is unchanging. The amount of water will never be any more or any less water than is on the Earth currently. Most water on earth is found in oceans and is salty, while most water that is used by human needs to be freshwater, whether it be for drinking, agriculture or cooking. Our freshwater sources are mainly frozen in ice caps and glaciers, but these sources are not always accessible by people depending on…

Water quality of Freshwater Creek Abstract: This report will be detailing the results found after testing three different water quality parameters on water samples taken at Freshwater Creek and comparing them with past results. It will determine if Freshwater Creek is, has been or is becoming polluted. The three tested parameters were dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand and ammonia. What was found is that the results for all three tests fitted within the recommended guidelines for…

What is a Water Filter On The Go A water filter on the go is a product to purificate your water. My water filter would give you a better healthy life by giving you water with less bacteria and germs. The water filter would filter your water and it would make it come on clean it. Benefits of a Water Filter W.F have a lots of benefits, some benefits are you get clean water that 's important in a development of kid, Filter Water is more affordable than bottle water, this means that you won…

Agriculture and Water Ashman & Puri (2002) state that water is vital, not only for humans as drinking water but also to plants and animals. Water delivers vital nutrients to plants and is the foundation of our ecosystem (Ashman & Puri, 2002). Furthermore, Feehan (2003) also states that water is vital as water present in our soils, streams and rivers and follow the lie of the land. According to Feehan (2003) a typical farm is a water catchment and the activity of the farmer will affect water…
