Fracking is currently regulated by the EPA under the clean water act of 2005 (EPA.gov). However‚ this only partially governs the methods of injecting fluids and the retrieval of such fluids into the earth. It does not govern the types of chemicals that are being allowed to be used‚ or how much fresh water is wasted (millions of gallons per “Frack job”) and it does not carry stiff enough penalties for spills or irreversible damage to community’s water supplies. For those of you‚ who are unfamiliar with

Kaileah Diaz November 10‚2017 Period: 3 Weathering Lab Report Water erosion is usually caused by rainfall and runoff on a slope‚ and the magnitude of water erosion depends on the type of soil. This can occur on river banks‚ seashores‚ streams‚ or even seaside cliffs. Muddy water is also a sign of erosion. There are brown hue results from the suspension of rock and soil particles inside the water. Water erosion usually happens in the springtime because there is usually a lot more rainfall and

This will allow it to absorb some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and lower its pH from a level of about 7 to about 5.8. The distilled water will act as a model for "normal" rainwater‚ which has a pH of about

The intention of the “Foul Water” lab was to purify a sample of sewage water and conserve as much as possible. The water should be clean enough to wash your hands with. My hypothesis is that the water will be cleaner than the initial water sample‚ but not to the standard that I would wash my hands with. Significant terms to know include purification‚ filtration‚ adsorption‚ volume‚ clarity‚ dissolved‚ filtrate‚ impurities‚ pipette‚ clay triangle‚ funnel cone‚ iron ring‚ beaker‚ and Erlenmeyer flask

purpose of this lab was to practice measuring the mass and volume of different samples and to calculate the density and specific gravity of those samples using the measurements. B. Equipment 1. Electronic balance- The electronic balance is a device used to measure the exact mass of an object 2. Graduated cylinder- The graduated cylinder is a tool used to measure the volume of a liquid 3. Pipets- Pipets are small tubes that suck up and contain liquids C. Technique 1. The water displacement technique

Class: Environmental systems and societies Teacher: David. A Student name: Krutarth Mehta Date: 13/3 Relevant to: 2.5.2. Describe photosynthesis in terms of inputs‚ outputs and energy transformations. Criteria to be assessed: PL‚ DCP‚ DEC. Background: Photosynthesis is the reaction carried out by green plants to produce a supply of food. The reactions occur in the chloroplasts and require light energy. 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 In aquatic plants

Lab Report: Hard Water Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine whether a liquid is hard water or not. Background: Hard water is the water that has a high amount of mineral in it‚ usually Ca2+ and Mg+. These cations enter the source of water by leaching from minerals within a wet underground layer of water- bearing rock‚ or an aquifer. According to the WHO‚ hard water is not harmful to human’s health but it’s a serious problem in the water industry. Household plumbing and appliances
