WATER CONSERVATION Water conservation encompasses the policies‚ strategies and activities to manage fresh water as a sustainable resource to protect the water environment and to meet current and future human demand. Population‚ household size and growth and affluence all affect how much water is used. Factors such as climate change will increase pressures on natural water resources especially in manufacturing and agricultural irrigation. The goals of water conservation efforts include as follows:

Conservation of Energy In explaining the laws of conservation of energy‚ energy cannot be destroyed or made. Although‚ energy can be transformed or transferred from one form to another‚ for example: The total amount of energy in any system never changes but stays constant over time. Second example: Coal is burned‚ and then used as thermal energy for heat‚ next the steam is used for mechanical energy. Energy is never destroyed but changed to forms like thermal energy‚ gravitational energy‚ electromagnetic

Conservation versus Preservation Dear editor in chief of the Central Kentucky News Journal‚ I am writing you this letter to inform you of how we must conserve the natural resources located in the Bridger Teton National Forest. If you are not aware of what the Bridger Teton National Forest is‚ it is a “3.4 million acres of public land located in western Wyoming.” (University of Phoenix‚ 2007) For the most part‚ “It has remained virtually untouched by human presence and is the largest contiguous

Lab: Momentum Conservation Abstract This experiment aims to test the law of conservation of momentum by using cart and track system. Procedure 1. Put two carts onto the track. 2. Hit the button on the cart so that they start to move at opposite directions. 3. Find the position where the carts hit the end at the same time. 4. Find the distance that each cart traveled. 5. Repeat step 1-4 with 500g and 1000g weights on one of the carts. Data and Calculation m1m2=x2x1

Conservation of matter and energy Introduction to conservation of matter and energy The conservation of matter and energy means that the total amount of energy and the total amount of matter is always constant in a given closed‚ isolated system. In other words‚ neither energy nor mass can be created or destroyed in any physical or chemical process. Formation of the law of conservation of matter and energy Until the discovery of mass - energy equivalence by Albert Einstein in 1905‚ conservation

Analysts expect gas prices to decrease or remain mostly flat not only in 2014‚ but for years to come. Nonetheless‚ drivers in some states will see higher prices at the pump‚ starting January 1. Gas prices may not have seemed all that cheap in 2013. But in fact‚ prices for the year as a whole were less expensive than they have been. According toAAA’s year-end report‚ American drivers paid $3.49 per gallon of regular‚ on average for 2013. That’s the cheapest per-gallon average since 2010; the national

turned up no evidence of surviving Black Rhinos. The western black Rhino was once widespread across the savannas of central-west Africa but it has decreased due to hunting in the early 20th century. The population rose again in the 1930s due to conservation efforts‚ but was to no avail as these slipped away. The population was in the hundreds by 1980 and decreased to 10 by 2000. This sub-species of Rhino becomes the second declared extinct this year. Last month the Vietnamese Rhino‚ a subspecies
