Our community’s source of water is Lake Ontario. However before the water arrives to our taps it undergoes a long cleansing process. This process includes pumping‚ storing and distributing the water. There are many ways to store water works systems. Some systems‚ because of local needs‚ store their source water in large natural or man-made reservoirs‚ essentially small lakes. These are often created by the damming of mountain streams‚ and in many cases‚ normal recreational activities are permitted

opposite. I believe in the value of curiosity. Although some days I’d rather go swimming in a community pool‚ not a raging river.Taking risks does not make you curious‚ exactly. Let’s say you jump off a cliff into water‚ not knowing‚ or caring about the consequences‚ you’re trying to get the adrenaline pumping through your veins‚ you’re taking a risk. Needing to know how your book ends‚ and staying up all night reading‚ makes you curious. You have a strong desire to know or learn something. Face it… Curiosity

WATER STEWARDSHIP INFORMATION SERIES Hardness in Groundwater February 2007 What is water hardness? Water hardness is primarily the amount of calcium and magnesium‚ and to a lesser extent‚ iron in the water. Water hardness is measured by adding up the concentrations of calcium‚ magnesium and converting this value to an equivalent concentration of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) in milligrams per litre (mg/L) of water. The Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality Hardness divide hardness

Climbing into the lime green car‚ my fear was over taking me. I was getting ready to ride the Titan‚ an adrenaline pumping roller coaster ride at Six Flags. It was easily the scariest ride at the park‚ in my opinion‚ with its enormous peaks‚ its deep descents‚ and double helix like turns was enough to make me sick. The ride began. Ascending up in the car on the canary yellow track‚ into the humidity filled‚ bright sky‚ the people observing from below resembled little army ants . The aerial view

and rail transport. Goa is a major iron ore exporting state and over 60% of Country’s iron ore export is from Goa. In terms of foreign exchange earnings it amounts to nearly Rs.1000 crore per annum. Mining in Goa is done by open cast method which necessitates the removal of overburden overlying the iron ore formations. On an average about 2.5 to 3 tones of mining waste has to be excabvated so as to produce a tone of iron ore. The average annual production of iron ore is about 15 to 16 million tones

liquid water on earth is groundwater. There is more than 20 times as much water stored within the ground as in all the lakes and rivers combined. In many parts of the world‚ agricultural‚ industrial‚ and domestic water demands can only be met by pumping water out of the ground. As you’ll see in the diagram below‚ wells work only if they penetrate the water table - the name given to the subsurface boundary that separates saturated and unsaturated ground. Above the water table‚ cracks and spaces

WAVE ENERGY Chapter 2: Energy Technology 2.1 Source of Wave Energy Ocean waves are caused by the wind as it blows across the open expanse of water‚ the gravitational pull from the sun and moon‚ and changes in atmospheric pressure‚ earthquakes etc. Waves created by the wind are the most common waves and the waves relevant for most wave energy technology. Wave energy conversion takes advantage of the ocean waves caused primarily by the interaction of winds with the ocean surface. Wave energy is

(Atterbury). Later in the 1960s‚ the locomotives began to slow down. Steam engines‚ steamboats‚ and locomotives during the Victorian Era contributed to the achievements of steam power. Steam engines consisted of mill engines‚ tractor engines‚ and pumping systems. Steamboats and locomotives contributed to the advancement in transporting goods and travelling more efficiently. The use of steam power impacted lives of the people by switching roles from working from home and small factories to hug factories
