environment is the main issue. Today‚ increasing population growth causes the natural environment to change greatly. This paper focuses on the negative influence of population growth on the environment in these areas: air pollution‚ water pollution‚ global warming and ozone depletion. Air pollution is an important pollution problem. Increasing population growth creates more of this pollutant whose major source is burning of fossil fuel‚ larger number of vehicles and industrial production. As a result

Watershed Characteristics 1. Drainage Area the drainage area and it is the most important watershed characteristic for hydrologic analysis. It reflects the volume of water that can be generated from a rainfall. Thus the drainage area is required as input to models ranging from simple linear prediction equations to complex computer models. Once the watershed has been delineated‚ its area can be determined‚ either by approximate map methods or by GIS. 2. Drainage Density The drainage density‚ D

primary school‚ “Global Warming refers to the increase the temperature of the earth due to the absorption of infrared rays of sun by the greenhouse gases — Carbon dioxide being the major one.” After watching the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”‚ I began to realize what we humans have been doing to our home planet. It forces one to think that humans are the major cause of this hazard. It encourages one to believe the fact that there are ways in which we can reduce the effects of global warming. On the other
