extracted through bore holes. If you do not extract water then it leads to an increased risk in flooding. The London Basin supplies water for London. * Reservoirs are artificial lakes held behind dams to store water for drinking and recreation. The ideal location is a river valley with steep sloped sides. Kielder water is a river regulationg reservoir holding 200billion litres. It releases water into the north Tyne. Pumps take water and pipes transfer it to the river Wear and Tees. * Rivers are

This link is needed for the pathogen to leave the reservoir for example blood‚ urinal track‚ respiratory track or body fluids. *Mode of transmission. The pathogen can be transmitted either directly or indirectly for example

disasters” such as the Aral Sea (Central Asia)‚ Lake Chad (North Central Africa)‚ the Dead Sea (Middle East)‚ and Lake Manchar (Pakistan) should imbue scientific caution regarding human activity in relation to water resources. For each of these reservoirs‚ water was diverted for human consumption – which oftentimes resulted in wasteful mismanagement. Such human activities became the catalyst of dust bowls where seas or lakes

Green energy is energy that is produced in such a way as to minimize its negative impact on the environment. Traditional energy sources‚ most notably fossil fuels‚ produce greenhouse gases that are believed to be the primary cause of an effect known as global warming or climate change. Sources of green energy‚ such as solar‚ wind‚ geothermal‚ and hydro energy‚ are developed and promoted as alternative sources that make little or no contribution to climate change. Even nuclear energy is sometimes

Rural Land Resources; The Lake District Location; The Lake District is a mountainous region in North West England‚ in the county of Cumbria. The area is in close proximity to Manchester and other surrounding settlements. Transport links also make it accessible to the rest of the UK. The climate is much like Scotland’s‚ yet the area has became an important holiday destination and a desirable retirement place. Ferries make the islands in the lakes accessible‚ and the lakes are used too – for

Next add 40mL of distilled water to a 100mL beaker‚ then add 5.00mL of HCl to the beaker.Then obtain 40mL of 0.1M NaOH. Place the NaOH in a 60mL reagent reservoir and drain a small amount into a 250mL beaker to fill the tip. Connect the Ph sensor to the LabQuest and set up the drop counter.Then calibrate the titrant by adjusting the reservoir tip to and letting the NaOH slowly drain into a graduated cylinder until 9 or 1o ml has been recorded. After the LabQuest has been calibrated discard the

produced by transforming the kinetic energy of rushing water into electric energy. Hydro electricity is a renewable energy source because the water cycle ensures that there is always a supply of water with high potential energy in the power plant’s reservoir. Hydroelectricity provides more than 75% of electricity produced from renewable sources. In hydroelectric power plants‚ the water is utilized to move the turbine which in turn runs the electric generator. The potential energy of the water stored

Thus maintaining large rainforests as carbon storage reservoirs is an important strategy to control climate change‚ however deforestation continues‚ and this results in an increase in CO2 in the atmosphere as well as the destruction of the
