Inequality is Contaminating America Currently in the United States‚ many may see that there is inequality‚ but have yet to do something about it. In the article The Toxic Tap by Josh Sanburn‚ he blatantly discusses Social Stratification that exist in America‚ more specifically‚ Flint Michigan. Sanburns’ article expresses the discrimination that Flint’s people faced during the change of the water supply from Lake Huron to Flint River. The Toxic Tap is referring to the Flints local river that has

Most sewage also includes some surface water from roofs or hard-standing areas and may include stormwater runoff. Sewerage systems capable of handling stormwater are known as combined systems or combined sewers. Such systems are usually avoided since they complicate and thereby reduce the efficiency of sewage treatment plants owing to their seasonality. The variability in flow

I. Introduction Stormwater drainage is a system intended to collect rain water or water runoff and allows it to flow to the drainage pipe or canal to prevent flooding. It is widely used in every roads and highways through the gutter and enables the water runoff or rain water to flow to the stormwater drainage inlet. Every single house has its own drainage pipe that connect to the stormwater drainage system to collect grey water so as not to easily full their own septic tanks which collects the

Swain Abstract Urban stormwater non-point source pollutants are recognized as a major cause of receiving waters quality deterioration. To date most research has focused on specifying temporal variations of stormwater quality parameters which includes high uncertainties and also increases the risk of pollution control structures failure. Traditionally‚ the temporal variations of quality

factors that are behind the importance when considering BMPs for this area. In arid regions‚ such as Southern California‚ stormwater in particular effects coastal water quality because a large percentage of the water runoff and pollution flows into the ocean in just a few storms in the winter (Ho Ahn et al.‚ 2005). Many urbanized watersheds‚ Santa Ana included‚ have a stormwater flow that is controlled by municipal infrastructure that is used to minimize flood potential and maximize water reclamation
