drinking water in a small station located in a sparse population in Kenya near the border with Sudan. The Pan African News Agency reported that eight monkeys were killed and 10 villagers hurt in what was described as a “fierce two- hour melee.” The fight came into matter when relief workers appeared and started distributing water from a tanker truck. The local community stated that an extended drought had left animals with no choice but to roam out of their natural habitats to seek clean safe water in

science fair project is on the surface tension of water and what affects the surface tension of water. The question that I am going to ask is how does temperature and salinity of water affect the surface tension of the water. My hypothesis is that the colder and the saltier that the water is‚ the stronger that the surface tension of the water will be. Some of the background research that I have done has explained to me that the surface tension of water is a property of a liquids surface that can cause

Aim: To determine the water of crystallization in washing soda crystals (Na2CO3.xH2O) Research Question: What is the percentage composition and the amount (in moles) of water in the given ionic hydrate? (Na2CO3.xH2O) Background Information: Sodium Carbonate also known as Washing Soda (Na2CO3.xH2O) is a sodium salt of carbonic acid. Sodium carbonate is domestically well known for its everyday use as a water softener. It is also used to remove grease‚ oil and wine stains. It can be extracted from

Nitrate on Pond Water By Claudia Phillips September 6‚ 2014 Block Two INTRODUCTION This lab was designed to study and observe the effects of phosphate and nitrate applied to pond water (1). Phosphorous‚ commonly used in fertilizers‚ is a necessary and vital element for life but can enhance the effects of eutrophication (the over-enrichment of nutrients in water) (2). Nitrate is a common source of food for most algae‚ but too much can make living conditions in water harsh (3). They are

polluted water so the water will have a clarity of 0%. If a filter is built for the polluted water‚ then the waters clarity will be 0% and the pH value will be 7. The purpose for this lab is to get the polluted water to a clarity of 0%. Water pollution is playing a major role in today’s ecosystems because the water is becoming unsafe to live in and unsafe to consume. “Water pollution is any physical or chemical change in water that adversely affects organisms” (Chiras‚ 2015).

What is the optimal drinking water for humans? It is a truth universally acknowledged that water is the cornerstone of good health. Since the human body is composed of about 60% water‚ intake is vital to almost every function; digestion‚ circulation‚ transportation of nutrients and‚ most importantly‚ the elimination of toxins. In addition‚ water contains various nutrients that are essential to maintaining good health. These include sodium‚ an important extracellular electrolyte‚ and selenium‚ required

“GROUND WATER AND ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE IN GUJARAT” ABSTRACT Though groundwater is an important source of irrigation in India‚ its availability is non-uniform in space and time. In Saurashtra region of Gujarat state‚ problem of groundwater depletion has arisen due to high withdrawal than rate of replenishment of groundwater. This also resulted in seawater intrusion in coastal areas at very high rate. The water harvesting and groundwater recharge activities played an important role in increasing the

“Water is essential to the sustenance of life” Give three examples: 1. Water’s polarity 2. Water’s H Bonds 3. Cohesive property of water The polarity of water makes water essential to the sustenance of life. It allows water to be a good solvent and form many different solutions. Although forming solutions does not seem very important‚ it is. These “solutions” that water forms exist everywhere‚ for example‚ laboratories and kitchen refrigerators. The polarity of water also causes different
