Salt Water Intrusion and Salination By: Ryan Tallman University of Phoenix 2009 In this modern world we are faced with many different issues. Sometimes we forget that the majority of our earth is covered in oceans and freshwater. Almost two thirds of the world’s population lives within 250 miles of an ocean coastline. One of the many issues we are facing in our waters is saltwater intrusion and salinization. Saltwater intrusion and salinization is defined as the increase of chloride ion concentrations

Upper Hutt College Year 13 Biology Slater Study Achievement standard: biology 3.1 Introduction to experiment: In this investigation of the ecological niche of the woodlouse‚ I chose to experiment the amount of soil moisture that the slaters tend to prefer. I chose this aspect‚ as moisture is a vital part in the survival of this small creature. Internet sources provided information of the woodlice that shows that they are from crustacean descent and formerly aquatic even though

Writing Assignment #3—Drought The National Drought Mitigation Center conceptually defines drought as “a protracted period of deficient precipitation resulting in extensive damage to crops‚ resulting in loss of yield”. Three indicators of drought include below normal soil moisture‚ reduced stream flow‚ and‚ most obviously‚ lack of precipitation. These indicators can be kept track of in order to help mitigate the effects of drought. The U.S. Drought monitor makes maps of the United States

Major: Environmental Engineering We humans have a long history of polluting our air‚ water‚ and soil. This contamination not only hurts nature‚ but is dangerous to people. Luckily‚ environmental engineers are on the job. They use math and science to clean up the messes we’ve made and prevent new ones from happening. For example‚ they might figure out how to clean up toxic material that has seeped into the ground at an old gas station or design an effective way to treat wastewater. If you choose
