    In Situations much like Richard Cory's, we as outsiders don't know how they are and what they are truly going through. It's one of the scariest things, one day we see a person and the next we find out that they're gone. We hear things like: ‘Oh she/he was such a happy person, they had everything.'

    I followed and Tim held the anchor position, last. The cloud cover continued to move into the area from below the mountain, and all the while I was keeping close tabs on it, I periodically attempted mental telepathy to possibly produce a glimpse of the surrounding peaks somewhere through the white layer. The chances still looked grim. After being in the vicinity of the lake for over an hour, I sensed Tim could be stalling, waiting for that lucky break in the clouds. If he was stalling, that I would have been okay with that as I’m sure a glimpse of Pillchuck’s peak would have been quite the spectacle. Ahead, a section of land jetted out to a point on the lake’s edge and something on it had caught Tim’s eye .Leaving the trail, I watched him navigate down onto the point at lake level where he began surveying the area. As I followed, I quickly understood what attracted him. The landscape and layout was another prime camp location. Our time on the point was short, gazing at the different views and taking pictures. Staging us looking into the sun, Tim took a few pictures of Holly and me, and in turn I snapped a few keepsakes of…

    Since the beginning of time the importance of water has always been know. Building of dams has been traced back to 3,000 BC in connection with an elaborate water supply system for the region. (McCully, 2011) Even in those early days it seemed that there was a system to divert water from the natural pathways to dams or for irrigation purposes. Sometimes the water from dams is exploited for communities with various other purposes; like the creation of hydroelectricity, flood control, sediment control, navigation, and water supply.

    In my earlier years my family took me camping to a lake. My cousins came as well, which made it even more enjoyable. When we arrived at the campsite, I was in awe. It was something out of a Disney movie. There were towering pine trees shielding us from the sun’s rays. Wild plants and bushes surrounded our campsite, but not too far away was a clearing in the bushes where we can see the lake in all its glory. People were fishing, kayaking, swimming, and playing with their dogs.…

Only 2.6% water is freshwater and its locked up in ice layers or glaciers or its too deep underground to be reached or too salty. Out of 2.6% only tiny fraction of the planet’s overflowing water is available to us as a freshwater. Plants and animals cannot live without freshwater, because all organisms are made up mostly by water.

    India has a National Perspective Plan for water resources development by transferring water from water surplus basins to water deficit basins/regions by inter-linking of rivers based on studies and feasibility reports prepared by Indian National Water Development Agency (NWDA) for optimum utilization of available water resources, the concept of interlinking of rivers was put forth from time to time for rational distribution and transfer of surplus water available in some regions to water deficit areas. The storages and links involved are of very large sizes and lengths; and the costs of construction and environmental problems would be enormous. On the basis of published information, the Commission (NCIWRDP) is of the view that the Himalayan component would require more detailed study using system analysis techniques.…
