The Cooum has changed a lot in the years since V.H. Shipley’s book of 19 poems on the city, ‘Madrassi Madrigals’ was published in 1928. The book, only two copies of which are known to be in existence, has charming verses on Madras' landmarks such as the boat club, the Guindy race course, Elliot's Beach, Museum Theatre, and activities of the British like hunting, golf and sailing. He describes the Cooum River in one of the poems as follows, ‘Of dirt and smell your sources wake... And near the sea…

other means. Short sea shipping refers to the transportation of large quantities of goods by sea. In short sea shipping, large vessels carry cargoes including metals, stone, coal, oil products, containers, grain, and people to ports along coastal waterways (See Figure 1). The cargo ships travel on short routes, quickly carrying goods between one nation’s ports and the ports of adjacent countries. If short sea shipping is employed to its full capacity in the United States, there are many…

a large effect on improving the water quality of local rivers and tributaries with minimal costs (14). Using a stand-off pad or wintering pad is another option to control soil damage and reduce the transfer of nitrogen and faecal materials into waterways (16). A stand-off pad is a built area where dairy cows are withheld from gazing during wet periods to control the damage to the soil. A wintering pad is a kind of stand-off pad with an additional space for feeding (17). A study on a Waikato…

inserted is situated within the Brisbane River Catchment, with the upper reaches of the Oxley, Norman, and Bulimba Creek catchments located within the patch. To reduce negative effects on these waterways the proposed development is constrained to an area that does not impede on the headwaters of these waterways. The clearing of vegetation associated with suburban development presents the risk of increased erosion and sedimentation of…

speeding up of 10 times the normal rate. The fundamental types of human unsettling influence are the stream control structures, for example, dams and levees, the digging of trenches, and depleting and filling. Starting in the 1920's, expansive scale waterway control structures, for example, the old stream control stucture, which redirects 30% of the Mississippi River water into the Atchafalaya River framework, were worked to straightforwardness flooding issues along the banks. These control…

Imperialism is the aggregate mastery of the political, temperate, or social viewpoints or a country. Magnificent colonization has been happening sense the get-go. An imperialistic country would build its significance and force by winning a realm. A few takeovers were constrained by political competitions. One country may grab a region to keep a contender from venturing into that district. A few countries would extend to help their financial worth, or individual riches. Colonialism propels a…

Chinook salmon and steelhead have declined rapidly since the 1980s and it appears despite our best efforts they are continuing to decline. Chinook salmon and steelhead are of cultural importance to Indian tribes that have historically lived along waterways in the pacific northwest. Treaties signed in the 19th Century by the United States and Indian tribes (sovereign nations) reserved the rights of natives to harvest salmon. According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian treaties are…

the effects of the coal mining or burning that supplies much of the state's energy. In light of this, and because it interests me personally I have chosen to investigate water quality as the topic of my final paper. While nearly all of the larger waterways in the Chesapeake Basin are rated at a "good" water quality according to the EPA's "Your Community" section, there are a number of smaller tributaries that are "impacted" or worse quality. I have lived in this area long enough to know these…

I have to agree with you that waterway ports are the busiest at the same time I do not believe that are the hardest to secure. Living here in Jacksonville, FL I have several ports around me. There is Jacksonville Port Authority (Jaxport) that controls three cargo terminals, a cruise terminal and an intermodal rail terminal. Blount Island (controlled by the Marines) is one terminal that I am familiar with because of the military. This facility has some of the tightest security even more than…

development of waterways. In 1807, Robert Livingston and Robert Fulton introduced the steamboat to the Hudson River. This innovative creation made it possible for the Union to navigate the South’s extensive waterways to strengthen its blockade in the South fifty-five years later. Spurred by the introduction of the steamboat, the Erie Canal was built and completed in 1825. Stretching three hundred and sixty-three miles long, it connected New York City all the way to Ohio by inland waterways.…
