not worth cutting down our environment. Habitat destruction that has been done by humans is usually for the purpose of harvesting natural resources for industry production and urbanization. Clearing habitats for agriculture is the main issue that causes habitat destruction. Forest loss and degradation is mostly caused by the expansion of agricultural land‚ the intensive harvesting of timber for fuel and other forest products‚ as well as over-grazing. Other important causes of habitat destruction include

strategies to increase water supply to meet the demands of the population. In order to meet the demands for water‚ Singapore expands its local water catchment area. By increasing the catchment areas‚ Singapore can make use of natural resources such as rainwater which can be converted into drinkable water. Singapore has a steady annual rainfall of approximately 3000mm. Marina Reservoir is the largest and most urbanised catchment which has to potential to meet 10% of Singapore’s current water needs.

The harmful chemicals that are realised from factories such as carbon dioxide mix with rainwater which forms carbonic acid H2CO3 which result to acid rain. The formula for acid rain is CO2 + H2O H2CO3. The rainwater later finds its way to water bodies and threatens our existence. Moreover according to Tom Fuller the physics behind the theory of

Study Questions: 1.) Why is sub-soiling needed in soils with hard pans? Sub-soiling is essential especially to hard pan layer because it will help the roots penetrate deep and be able to explore and obtain water and nutrients from larger volume of soil. Hard span obstructs root’s downward proliferation and restricts root growth of crops (of crops that have vertical root growth). With sub-soiling‚ the needed soil depth‚ at least 80cm will be met . With sub-soiling‚ we can break hard pan without
