Do you know the difference between organic farming and factory farming? Organic goes far beyond just “not using chemicals.” It also has to do with the treatment of the animals. Conventional‚ also known as “factory”‚ farming uses an overdose of pesticides‚ chemicals‚ and antibiotics- as well as the harsh treatment of the animals. Organic farming uses none of these methods. There are many reasons we should abolish the conventional methods and entirely switch to organic farming. Factory farming is

through natural processes‚ it is mostly a result of human activities. We use water daily in our homes and industries‚ about 150 gallons per day per person in the United States. The water we use is taken from lakes and rivers‚ and from underground (groundwater); and after we have used it-- and contaminated it-- most of it returns to these locations. The used water of a community is called wastewater‚ or sewage. If it is not treated before being discharged into waterways‚ serious pollution is the result

We receive potable water from the canals‚ rivers‚ and ponds ; groundwater is also potable. Now‚ the question is that how is water polluted? Some ways of water pollution: Some factories dispose their chemical wastes into the

On the other hand‚ 50 percent of the world relies solely on groundwater to meet basic daily needs and around 748 million people worldwide have poor access to clean drinking water [UNESCO‚ 2015]. Thus‚ Long-term climate change and population growth will further stress water resources in many regions‚ and good adaptation

causing a spill or overflow. Sanitary sewers are typically much smaller than combined sewers‚ and they are not designed to transport storm water. Backups of raw sewage can occur if excessive infiltration/inflow (dilution by storm water and/or groundwater) is allowed into a sanitary sewer system. Communities that have urbanized in the mid-20th century or later generally have built separate systems for sewage (sanitary sewers) and storm water‚ because precipitation causes widely varying flows‚ reducing

Water Reclamation and Recycling As our population continues to grow‚ many begin to raise questions about how (or even if it’s possible) to provide enough water to support this rapidly growing population. With our population recently reaching 7 Billion‚ it seems that finding the answer to this has become such an imperative as to be compared to our global energy crisis. As more and more research is conducted‚ one viable answer seems to keep resurfacing‚ water reclamation. While many proponents

What is a Wetland ? Wetlands are habitats that fall somewhere on the environmental spectrum between land and water. Since wetlands lie at the interface of terrestrial and aquatic habitats‚ they possess a unique mixture of species‚ conditions‚ and interactions. As a result‚ wetlands are among our planet’s most diverse and varied habitats. Wetlands are defined by the soils‚ hydrology‚ and species that occur within them. Wetland soils‚ also known as hydric soils‚ are shaped by water. These soils
