overuse of water.[3] A water crisis is a situation where the available potable‚ unpolluted water within a region is less than that region’s demand.[4] Water scarcity is being driven by two converging phenomena: growing freshwater use and depletion of usable freshwater resources.[5] "In Meatu district‚ Shinyanga region‚ Tanzania‚ water most often comes from open holes dug in the sand of dry riverbeds‚ and it is invariably contaminated." Water scarcity can be a result of two mechanisms:

INTRODUCTION: The research topic is based upon the impact of the abiotic factors on community properties in the aquatic ecosystems of bith La Vega and Caroni Swamp. The abiotic factors to be included ate salinity‚ turbidity‚ dissolved oxygen‚ phosphates‚ nitrates‚ pH‚ and temperature. Aqautic abiotic factors have become a prudent issue in these ecosystems affecting the abundance and distribution of species as well as feeding relationships as seen in food webs and food chains.

Chapter II Research Body Chalk- is a soft‚ white‚ porous sedimentary rock‚ a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite. Calcite is calcium carbonate or CaCO3. It forms under reasonably deep marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite plates shed from micro-organisms called coccolithophores. It is common to find chert or flint nodules embedded in chalk. Chalk can also refer to other compounds including magnesium silicate and calcium sulfate. Chalk has greater resistance
