Renowned people of today such as esteemed scientists and author Rachel Carson‚ Canadian scientist David Suzuki and other experts concern themselves with the issue of environmental sustainability. The relationship between the environment and society is unbalanced nearly to the point of no return because of such a large human population and an economy driven world that is globalizing. The sustainability of the environment is a major concern of the 21st century especially since technology has advanced

Hydro Power What is Hydropower and what makes it renewable? Hydropower is a renewable source of power used throughout the world. It uses the force of water to generate power sustainably. A big concrete wall is built in a fast flowing river and water builds up behind it all the while the pressure is building up. As the energy level rises to a maximum‚ the water is released and as the fast moving water passes through turbines which then convert the waters energy into power. It works when water I

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION WATERSHEDS A watershed is a basin-like landform defined by highpoints and ridgelines that descend into lower elevations and stream valleys. A watershed carries water "shed" from the land after rain falls and snow melts. Drop by drop‚ water is channeled into soils‚ groundwater‚ creeks‚ and streams‚ making its way to larger rivers and eventually the sea. Water is a universal solvent‚ affected by all that it comes in contact with: the land it traverses‚ and the soils through

How can alternative sources of energy be harnessed effectively? Written by Jill (Huimei ZHOU) Nowadays‚ there are more and more alternative sources of energy for people to use. But in order to harness these alternative sources of energy effectively‚ different countries take different actions based on their own natural resources. This essay will show that how to make full use of energy from different countries’ viewpoints. Undenied‚ many years ago‚ a lot of countries just use the fossil fuels

Advantages of Hydropower Hydropower is the only feasible and rational solution in solving the energy crisis in case of Nepal. Hydropower is environment friendly and non polluting system of energy. It has less direct impact on ecology and environment compared to the other energy sources like nuclear power. Moreover‚ water being recurrent in nature’s streams‚ it is a renewable source of energy and causes no strain on non renewable sources of energy like fossil fuels which are not in abundance in

Centrifugal pumps uses OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS: The applications of centrifugal pumps are numerous; however‚ these pumps are most often used in buildings for the following purposes: To pump the general water supply. This includes both the overhead and pneumatic tank systems. In general water supply systems where the pump takes off directly from the city pressure main or where no suction lift is required‚ a centrifugal pump can be used. When a centrifugal pump is being used with a suction

Looking back in my life‚ I always feel a strong connection with engineering. Later during my adolescent years‚ I found out that I had a strong inner passion for mathematics and physics. I have always been a bright student of my secondary and higher secondary school and got straight ’A’ grades representing outstanding. Soon I realized that the field of engineering would be an excellent choice for my future studies. I was among the top ten position holders in my higher secondary board exam in pre-engineering
