bore wells to yield in a sustained manner. It helps in the availability of clean water by reducing the salinity and the presence of iron salts. Principle The concentration of contaminants is reduced significantly by diverting the initial flow of runoff water to waste. Improved water quality can also be obtained by using a floating draw-off mechanism (rather than from the base of the tank) and by using a series of tanks‚ with draw from the last in series. The stored rainwater may need to be analyzed

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.[Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy‚ such as noise‚ heat or light. Pollutants‚ the components of pollution‚ can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or non point source pollution. Ancient cultures Air pollution has always accompanied civilizations. Pollution started from the prehistoric

SEWAGE TREATMENT Sewage is a mixture of domestic and industrial wastes. It is more than 99% water‚ but the remainder contains some ions‚ suspended solids and harmful bacteria that must be removed before the water is released into the sea. The treatment of wastewater is divided into three phases: pretreatment‚ primary treatment and secondary treatment. Pretreatment Large solids (i.e. those with a diameter of more than 2cm) and grit (heavy solids) are removed by screening. These are disposed of in

serious issue today but I’m just going to tell you about two places for now. How does the melting of glaciers affect people? Here’s how. Around billions of people depend on river systems that include glaciers in them. Melting glaciers will cause river runoff and this will seriously affect the areas in which people live. A lot of people live on The Alps. Around 14 million people. If the alps glaciers were to

early detection of maple decline‚ the health of the tree prior to treatment‚ and its ability to respond to treatment. Treatment for declining urban maples includes: watering‚ fertilizing‚ pruning dead branches‚ and reducing salt-laden spring water runoff over the roots. Watering trees every week or two during dry weather is recommended. Trees should be watered slowly to soak the entire soil area under the tree canopy to a depth of 12 or more inches. Fertilizing is best done with a slow-release fertilizer

non-availability of fresh water for drinking and irrigation to grow food‚ and a colossal rise in sea level would not only depopulate coastal regions‚ but it would kill all of the animals that depend on glacial runoff water to survive. This‚ in turn‚ would destroy eco-systems that have made glaciers and their runoff water a part of their habitats and daily lives. By recognizing the potential for these catastrophic events to occur‚ people need to understand the characteristics of glaciers‚ climate change‚ and figure
