The Granby Dam was built in 1949 for the purpose of water storage. The project was also due in part to supply water to the Front Range through the Colorado Big Thompson Project. These projects greatly changed the surrounding landscape in the area. Vegetation for the Lake Granby ecosystem varies between the locations. On land‚ aspen trees

Their homes‚ lives‚ and families destroyed when the dams holding back 138 million gallons of black waste water failed and flooded the area in an instant. In this paper I will discuss the four elements necessary to group the victims of this tragic disaster into a class action suit. The group must have commonality

FLOODS What causes Floods? Heavy Rainfall: Causes increase in sea level rise etc. Over–saturated soil (when the ground can’t hold in any more water and could turn into mud etc): Infiltration can’t take place due to the soil’s impermeability resulting in so then surface run off will be increased. High River‚ Stream‚ and Sea Level (caused by heavy rain/particle expansion): The amount of water in the channel becomes too high‚ forcing water inland. Objects such as fallen trees and littering can causes

when establishing the chlorophyll a criteria. For example‚ reservoirs associated with “run-of-the-river” dams typically have small hydraulic head‚ limited storage area and short 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

The Big Five are broad dimensions or categories in a hierarchical sense‚ such that they encompass a lot without detail.

So a researcher chooses a hierarchical level of analysis
