Water Polution definiton: Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans‚ aquifers and groundwater). Water pollution occurs whenpollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.

WATER CYCLE Water Cycle‚ also known as hydrologic cycle‚ is a process that is constantly recycling the Earth ’s supply of water. This is important because humans‚ animals‚ and plants all need water to survive. It is controlled by the sun‚ which produces energy in the form of heat. This heat energy causes the water in the world ’s oceans‚ lakes‚ etc. to warm and evaporate. As the water is heated‚ it changes its phase from liquid to gas. This gas is called water vapor and this process is called

Making Water Turbines Most Energy Efficient How does a wind turbine’s output vary with wind pressure (height of water)‚ the flow rate‚ size of the motor‚ and type of blade? Introduction There are many types of energy used today: Fossil fuels‚ coal‚ nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ geothermal energy‚ hydrogen energy‚ hydroelectric energy‚ wind energy‚ and biofuels and biomass. Non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels and coal are diminishing since it cannot be recycled‚ unlike wind energy

Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region. It currently affects around 2.8 billion people around the world‚ on all continents‚ at least one month out of every year and more than 1.2 billion people lack the access to clean drinking water.[1] Water scarcity can be a result of two mechanisms: physical (absolute) water scarcity and economic water scarcity‚ where physical water scarcity is a result of inadequate natural water

Water is an odorless‚ colorless‚ tasteless chemical compound that makes up well more than half of the human body. In addition to being prominent in the make-up of the human body‚ it also covers all but approximately 30% of the Earth’s surface‚ and can be found naturally in all three states of matter: liquid‚ solid and gas. Water is a covalent bond known most commonly by its empirical form; H2O. It can also be identified by the Lewis Dot Structural form shown in the figure in the upper right corner

desalination of water water‚ desalination of‚ process of removing soluble salts from water to render it suitable for drinking‚ irrigation‚ or industrial uses. The principal methods used for desalination include distillation (or evaporation)‚ electrodialysis‚ freezing‚ ion exchange‚ and reverse osmosis. In distillation saltwater is heated in one container to make the water evaporate‚ leaving the salt behind. The desalinated vapor is then condensed to form water in a separate container. Although long
