Moving water is the most conventional vehicle of erosion; every year tons of sediment is carried by major rivers from the mountains to the oceans (Home Training Tools 2012 para.6). Under normal conditions‚ the force created by the mass of the newer deposits compresses the older‚ buried sediments. As groundwater moves through these sediments‚ minerals like calcite and silica precipitate out of the water and coat the sediment grains. These precipitants fill in the pore spaces between grains and act

The Koyna Dam is one among the 23‚000 large dams in the world. The Koyna project is a multi- purpose project‚ but primarily designed as a hydro- electric project that supplies hydro-electric power to Maharashtra‚ India with an installed capacity of 1920 MW. 2.1. Study Area The area selected for the present study is the Koyna Reservoir‚ situated on the west coast of Maharashtra‚ India‚ lies between the latitude of 17◦00’-17◦59’N and longitude of 73◦02’–73◦35’E. The location of the study area along

Vocabulary: Bacterial pollution- Bacteria play a vital role in processes such as decomposition and digestion. Nutrient pollution- Fuels the growth of algae blooms that block sunlight from reaching bay grasses and rob the water of oxygen. Sediment pollution- Sediment is soil particle that have entered creeks‚ rivers and lakes. Toxic pollution- In our environment threaten our rivers and lakes‚ our air‚ land‚ and oceans‚ and ultimately ourselves and our future. Greenpeace fights back. Water pollution-

4) Relate the damming of rivers to the shrinking of beaches at some locations along the west coast of the United States. Along the West Coast‚ much of the sand found on beaches originates as clastic sediment in streams and rivers that discharge into the sea. Damming these streams traps the sand behind the dam and reduces the input of new sand to the beach system. With reduced input‚ not enough of the sand lost to offshore areas is being replaced; thus

EFFECTS OF SOIL EROSION IN THE PHILIPPINES Soil erosion is happening everywhere in this world. Especially near the water area and maybe it is happening below where we stand. One my grandparents told me‚ that one time when they were young a typhoon with its devastating rain hit manila. Because they were near river‚ because of the heavy rain without warning the soil beneath their home collapse and their home was wash away in the river. And it said to be the cause of the collapse of the soil

buried by sediment. Reefs are very delicate and need very precise conditions to live and grow‚ the amount of rain that is associated with intense low systems can flood the reef with fresh water and reduce the salinity levels. During the storms the turbidly of the water also increases so the sunlight cannot reach the coral reducing its ability to produce food. Tropical cyclone Larry (2006) showed that reefs could benefit from storms. The waves that were produced by Larry removed sediment that had accumulated

temperature‚ waves‚ tides and current. Longshore drift is a major process operating within the Narrabeen coastal environment. Longshore drift involves the transport of sediments along a beach‚ controlled mainly by waves‚ tides and currents. At Narrabeen‚ the sediment is moved northwards towards the lagoon entrance. When large amounts of sediment drifts to the lagoon entrance‚ blockages occur. These blockages prevent water from entering or leaving the lagoon as the sand bar is higher than the water levels

The discharge and velocity are also change especially due to raining seasons and also sediment transportation. Most of the time‚ the flow of the water is in unsteady form. In this project‚ the water can be analysed numerically and by physical model. By means of physical model‚ there
