flood event in 1984‚ where the plug came loss and AMD started running out again. With engineering‚ trial and error Jennings State Park has a Passive Treatment System to clean up the acid‚ by adding a base and heavy metal‚ by adding oxygen from the runoff. It all starts with AMD being piped from the mine into a pond where is disperse with different pipe lengths. The bottom of this pond has crushed limestone which helps the acidity of 5 pH turn to a normal pH of 7. However‚ in the pond there is also

surface waters. Because surface waters collect in low-lying areas‚ anything that is dropped or blown into a watershed can eventually reach a drainageway. In urban areas‚ trash and litter (general terms for dry solid waste) often are transported by stormwater runoff. In both urban and rural areas‚ these items sometimes are illegally dumped directly into a waterbody or wetland‚ or deposited along riverbanks or lakeshores. Trash also comes from people who fish or participate in other forms of water-related

pollution occur when the polluting substance is emitted directly into the waterway. A pipe spewing toxic chemicals directly into a river is an example. A non-point source occurs when there is runoff of pollutants into a waterway‚ for instance when fertilizer from a field is carried into a stream by surface runoff. Agriculture plays a considerable role in the quality of water. U.W.I. faculty of health and science (2009) in an online article outlined that we need the agriculture industry‚ obviously

However‚ little is known about how alley-adjacent residents perceive greening projects in these rather ambiguous spaces‚ though greening projects have the potential to both benefit and

watershed‚ and our backyard is one too. Watersheds are very important in our daily lives. ‘What is a watershed?’ You may ask well‚ think of a watershed as a funnel that drains the water into the nearest body of water. Most of the water comes from rain and runoff from storms. Why are watersheds so important? They’re important because most of the water in a watershed drains into a body of water; Ocean‚ sea or basin.This means that if there’s any pollutants‚ in the watershed water‚ then it will drain into

Factory Farming: Feast or Famine J.R. Phillips DeVry University Throughout history‚ human beings have grouped themselves together in communities. The concept of communities offered two major benefits; first‚ defense against enemies that might threaten the community. And second‚ the ability to sustain a constant food source to subsist on year-round. The need for a constant food supply became a major factor in early farming practices (Pollan‚ 2006) through animal husbandry

Why rainwater harvesting? In many regions of the world‚ clean drinking water is not always available and this is only possible with tremendous investment costs and expenditure. Rainwater is a free source and relatively clean and with proper treatment it can be even used as a potable water source. Rainwater harvesting saves high-quality drinking watersources and relieves the pressure on sewers and the environment by mitigating floods‚ soil erosions and replenishing groundwater levels. In addition

RAINWATER HARVESTING Other Information In the present scenario management and distribution of water has become centralized. People depend on government system‚ which has resulted in disruption of community participation in water management and collapse of traditional water harvesting system. As the water crisis continues to become severe‚ there is a dire need of reform in water management system and revival of traditional

Report #2: Strawberries Pathway: The strawberry belongs to the family Rosaceae‚ genus Fragaria. They are one of the most widely consumed fruit throughout the world. This fruit can grow pretty much anywhere except places with extreme climate change. The United States is the largest producer of strawberries in the world. The U.S. strawberry growers mostly use fields to grow this perennial crop whereas other places use mostly greenhouses due to shorter growing seasons. The strawberries that we
