Water scarcity Water scarcity involves water stress‚ water shortage or deficits‚ and water crisis. The concept of water stress is relatively new. Water stress is the difficulty of obtaining sources of fresh water for use‚ because of depleting resources. A water crisis is a situation where the available potable‚ unpolluted water within a region is less than that region’s demand. Water scarcity is difficulty of obtaining water for use because of depleting resources. It occurs due to both Natural

of Alcohol vs. Caffeine on Water Flea ’s Heart Rate. Title Page Abstract For our most recent experiment we tested the effects of immersing water fleas in caffeine and alcohol to see the effects on their heart rate. Before the experiment we hypothesized that if you place the water fleas in alcohol then their heart rate will slow down‚ and if you place them in caffeine then their heart rate will raise. For this experiment we needed water fleas‚ tap water‚ two pipettes‚ a microscope

Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful. Uses of water include agricultural‚ industrial‚ household‚ recreational and environmental activities. Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water. 97% of the water on the Earth is salt water. However‚ only three percent is fresh water; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.[1] The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater‚ with only a small fraction present

Aim: To compare the foaming capacities of five different commercial soaps. Apparatus: 5 test tubes‚ 5 conical flasks (100 ml)‚ test tube stand‚ Bunsen burner and stop watch. Materials Required: 5 different samples of soap and distilled water Theory: The foaming capacity of a soap sample depends upon the nature of soap and its concentration. This can be compared for various samples of soaps by taking the same concentration of solution and shaking them.The foam is formed and the time taken
