WATER CONSEVATION Man and most animals need a constant supply of water to live. Farmers need water for their crops. Hydroelectric dams hold back needed water and provide water for homes and industries. Trees‚ grasses‚ and other plant life play an important part in the natural circulation of water‚ and thus help conserve it. Without plants most water would run off as soon as it falls‚ taking away valuable soil. Rapid runoff would cause frequently floods‚ and leave little water during dry seasons

tast Asia includes countries such as Japan‚ China‚ South Korea‚ North Korea‚ and Taiwan. These countries are historically unified however they are politically and culturally divided. This has to do with the European imperialism against China that occurred in the 19th century. The primary motive of imperialism in China was economic because of the high demand for Chinese tea‚ silk and porcelain in the British market. Europe was under pressure from a rapidly growing population and was driven by the

The one I most often used is electricity which is generated from a power plant in my area. It is my understanding that Power plants make electricity out of other forms of energy. “Majority of electricity in the United States comes from converting the heat energy released from burning fossil fuels‚ such as coal‚ natural gas and oil. The rest is generated from nuclear reactors

generating electricity from water. One method uses the energy potential of trapped water in dams in a more sophisticated version of the water wheel‚ and the other method of generating electricity is to capture energy from ocean waves. Electricity generated from water is entirely renewable‚ sinccete water is an abundant natural resource First method:When a dam is used to generate energy‚ tunnels are installed in the dam when it is built. These tunnels are lined with turbines which are turned when water

Chinese government utilises Mekong’s freshwater to meet the demands of the population and built 15 hydroelectric dam on Upper Mekong. This causes the lower stream riparian states (Thailand‚ Laos‚ Cambodia‚ Vietnam and Myanmar) to experience deterioration in water quantity. The water available for them significantly decreases overtime. On top of that‚ water quality also deteriorates as the dams trap silt which may contribute to the pollution of the freshwater. Additionally‚ China’s construction of megadams

Page 1 How many times have you walked into a dark room and turned on the lights‚ and then left the room leaving them on without even thinking about how much energy you may be consuming? How often have you thought of how power is supplied to your home‚ and the negative impact on the environment it may be causing? Whether your energy is coming from a generator or a power plant you still have to stop and think of the resources you are using and the negative impact it has on the earth. There are many

the difference between the two plants. The way a dam works is water flows from the reservoir‚ which is the water located behind the dam. Into an intake tunnel that can be moved up and down depending on where the dam wants to take water in. It then moves under that dam to a turbine that captures the falling water which rotates the turbine.The rotation also turns the generator changing the mechanical energy into electricity. In the hungry horse dam‚ the turbines shaft is connected to the generator
