Soil Erosion Soil erosion will bring impacts when water is still plotted on the road surfaces. Roads with steep hills or terrain without the contours design will bring erosion as the road cracks. Multiple tracks will prevent the water. The ruts may bring to soil erosion problems. The tracks occur is paid to keeping standing water off the

Flood is a serious type of environmental degradation in our country. Environmental problem is directly related to surface water. As result of the excess amounts‚ sometimes flowing water breaks its embankment and overflows into nearby lands as flood. A large numbers of rivers flowing directly from the Himalayas. Every year‚ during the monsoons‚ many of these rivers flood

valley. The river is wider and has a deeper channel as more lateral erosion has occurred. The velocity is greater than that of the upper course as there is a greater volume of water in the river (because of tributaries flowing into the river and surface run off) and less energy is used overcoming the lesser friction of the smoother less angular bedload. There is more transportation of material‚ and more suspended sediment. The bedload is smaller and more rounded as it has been subjected to more erosion

Dampness and Waterproofing A high performance basement has the benefits of a healthier interior environment‚ reduced energy consumption‚ and a more durable and effective home. In order to achieve such standards‚ you must look at the condition’s involving the basement. The soil‚ in which your house is on‚ is critically important‚ as the soil types affect the way your property drains. Coarse grained soils‚ are good foundation soils‚ and drain freely. Fine grained soils‚ are typically weak founding

In the article “Houston Flood Waters Are Tainted With Bacteria And Toxins‚ Tests Show” by Sheila Kaplan and Jack Healy‚ flood waters in Houston neighborhoods have been contaminated. Plus‚ the spread of the toxic waters is not clear on how far they have gone‚ but it is hinted that the breaches of several waste plants have made the waters more dangerous. Testing has occurred and has found traces of Escherichia coli which is a fecal contamination. In the Clayton Homes public housing development‚ high

Crawl Space Mold and Mildew Do you smell a musty odor in your home? If so‚ your crawl space may have mold and mildew. Crawl spaces are typically dark and moist‚ which are perfect habitats for mold and mildew. A crawl space that consists of mold and mildew will emit an unplesant odor‚ affecting the air that you breathe. Fortuately‚ there are solutions to eliminate crawl space mold and mildew and improve the air quality of your home in Iowa. Since mold and mildew thrive in moisture places‚ you must

Duckweed is a simple‚ aquatic plant that consists of two-to-three small thalloids‚ or plate- like leaflets that floats on or just under the surface of the water‚ which may or may not have simple rootlets. As I have mentioned‚ the scientific name for duckweed is Lemnaceae. Lemnaceae is from the order Alismatales‚ and the family Araceae. The largest thalloids can get up to ¼ of an inch‚ while the
