Water conservation refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning‚ manufacturing‚ and agricultural irrigation. Water conservation programs are typically initiated at the local level‚ by either municipal water utilities or regional governments. Common strategies include public outreach campaigns‚ tiered water rates (charging progressively higher prices as water use increases)‚ or restrictions on outdoor water use such as lawn watering

Species get water to sustain their lives‚ water is used domestically and industrially. Water is the most essential compound for Earth’s life in general. Human babies are approximately 75% water and adults are 60% water. Our brain is about 85% water‚ blood and kidneys are 83% water‚ muscles are 76% water‚ and even bones are 22% water. (Dorsner‚ 2017) About 70% of Earth’s surface

Which is better? Bottled water or tap water? Well to answer that question I decided to do an experiment. In general there are many reasons why you should not drink bottled water. Bottled water uses many resources and creates huge amounts of waste. It is estimated that it takes over 25 million gallons of petroleum to produce 1 billion plastic water bottles. To put that into perspective‚ Americans consume about 50 billion plastic water bottles every year‚ and that is not counting soda bottles! It also

is a process where bodies of water receive excess nutrients that stimulate excessive plant growth. Eutrophication results from continuous pollution in the form of agricultural run-offs or sewage outflows. Fertilizers and sewage are both rich in nitrogen and phosphorus‚ which are both nutrients essential for plant growth. However‚ these nutrients are typically low in content in aquatic environments‚ which limits the growth of algae and plants‚ but with an increased amount of these nutrients‚ more

WATER CYCLE Water Cycle‚ also known as hydrologic cycle‚ is a process that is constantly recycling the Earth ’s supply of water. This is important because humans‚ animals‚ and plants all need water to survive. It is controlled by the sun‚ which produces energy in the form of heat. This heat energy causes the water in the world ’s oceans‚ lakes‚ etc. to warm and evaporate. As the water is heated‚ it changes its phase from liquid to gas. This gas is called water vapor and this process is called

WATER Conservation INTRODUCTION: Water is essential for life on earth. Water is needed for growing food‚ keeping ourselves clean‚ generating power‚ controlling fire and most importantly to stay alive! This list is simply non-ending. This shows that water is an integral part of our daily life and we are heavily dependent on it. Water conservation: Refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning‚ manufacturing‚ and agricultural irrigation

Fluoride In Water What? Fluoride in water! I though fluoride is where you put in toothpaste to brighten your teeth. That’s what I used to think. After reading and researching of water fluoridation‚ is a shocker. Water fluoridation is the process of putting appropriate amount of fluoride in water to control tooth decay. Since the 40’s‚ researcher have claimed that by adding moderate amount of fluoride to the water supply can help toughen the enamel of teeth and preventing tooth decay. By drinking

“conserve water” and lately‚ everyone seems to be saying it! We had several NGOs disturbing us by distributing pamphlets about conserving water. Aiming that crumpled pamphlet to the waste basket‚ I used to wonder “Why are they wasting paper in the name of saving water?” After hearing NGOs blaming the government‚ I had resigned to the notion that “water conservation” is an issue that the government should take care of. It looked like the world is conspiring to make me feel guilty of wasting water‚ when

properties of water were tested and proved. These trials and experiments were able to verify the adhesion‚ cohesion‚ polarity‚ temperature stabilization‚ solvency‚ and density changes exhibited by water. During the glass and wax paper lab‚ we observed the adhesive properties of water. When a droplet of water touched the glass‚ it dispersed immediately. The droplet placed on the wax paper remained intact and in droplet form. Also‚ when the glass and wax sheets were flipped‚ the water remained on
