For example‚ the 45‚000 pet dogs in Lake Macquarie create about 9 tonnes of faeces every day. The impacts of stormwater runoff may include the loss of recreational amenity‚ the destruction of seagrass beds and aquatic habitat‚ and the growth of algal blooms. Last Modified: 20-AUG-2009 What is the Lake Macquarie Stormwater Management Plan? The Lake Macquarie Stormwater Management Plan (SMP) was prepared in 1999 in response to a directive issued to all NSW Councils by the Environment Protection Authority

Acid rain is rain that has become acidic‚ because of air pollutants in the atmosphere. Rain has a normal pH level of around 5-5.5 which is only slightly acidic. 7 on the pH scale is the neutral and anything below that is considered acidic. Acid rain has a pH level around 4 which is 10 times more acidic. Acid rain can fall in many different ways and has many effects on the environment. Acid rain is caused by air pollutants in the atmosphere. These air pollutants are mainly from man made resources

On an ordinary day when we would see a cockroach or a small insect walking across the kitchen floor‚ the first and only thing that would flash into our mind is to get our hands on an insecticide and kill that blameless insect. From these little innocent insects in our homes we have moved to killing cows‚ pigs and turkeys to fulfil our dinner plates because we specifically farm them for food‚ therefore cause no change to the environment. What more do we now desire? What more do we human beings now

retention times and are less likely to be susceptible to conditions that can lead to eutrophication or promote excessive algal growth. In contrast‚ reservoirs associated with larger dams‚ such as storage or hydroelectric dams‚ are more likely to have longer retention times‚ providing a greater potential for incoming nutrients to stimulate increased algal production. Increased algal biomass can potentially deplete dissolved oxygen levels within the reservoir through bacterial decomposition and photosynthetic
