Unfortunately various forms of pollution‚ including runoff and erosion‚ can interfere with the health of the watershed. Therefore it is important to protect the quality of our watershed. It is important for the people to be aware of the events that happen around them‚ especially the information that concern

CONCLUSIONS………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………....12 VI. REFERENCES…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………....13 Abstract This project looks at a select watershed in Michigan and how the various characteristics of that watershed affect runoff from predicted storms. The chosen watershed was the Tobacco River that flows into Lake Superior Tasks were performed to first delineate the watershed‚ calculate the soil and land use‚ use that data to predict a 100 year storm‚ and to delineate the

physical causes are‚ the monsoon climate brings very heavy rain and snow‚ and soils are leached and heavy runoff results in soil erosion‚ snow melting results in soil erosion and a rapid increase in river discharge. Moreover some more reasons are because deforestation in head water areas due to increasing population in Nepal and Tibet. Trees cleared for fuel and grazing land ‚ less evaporation more runoff and faster soil corrosion‚ Rivers silt up due to increased soil erosion. This raises the river bed

course. I aim to notice how the bed load changes by size and shape as we go downstream. Theoretical Context Rivers as a key part of the hydrological cycle A river is the main source of energy throughout the hydrological cycle because it’s a form of surface run-off and so transports the water from where it fell as precipitation‚ to the sea where it is evaporated and so the process continues. “The water on earth circulates between sea‚ land and air‚ being recycled in a natural process known as the hydrological

particles by water erosion‚ losing great amounts of soil where the vegetation cover is thinnest. Plant roods bind the soil‚ while leaves protect it from the impact of heavy rain whilst layers of humus (leaf matter) helps to absorb rainfall and reduce runoff of soil into small rivulets. (small stream.) Any sort of slope will make water erosion more severe‚ as water attains more force thus dislodging plants and more soil. If the water is evenly seething and eroding the soil‚ this is known as “sheet erosion”The

Have you ever had the flu? If you have you know all the symptoms like headaches‚ sore throat‚ dizziness‚ and vomiting. The symptoms are miserable! What if one day you decided to take a nice swim in Lake Erie‚ and a couple hours after swimming these symptoms started occurring? Im sure you would not be happy!

The mulch is used to retard the growth of weeds‚ protect roots and stems from sudden or extreme temperature changes‚ reduce soil erosion by wind and water‚ retard runoff of rainfall‚ prevent soil puddling by breaking the impact of raindrops‚ and keep flowers and fruits from being spattered with mud during

Citizens of Sparksville Vernon Max Nissley ENV/100 Nov. 3‚ 2014 Lori Keller Hello citizens and council‚ Today I would like to address the choices we have available for creating new jobs for our city‚ due to the recent loss of a large company here. The three choices‚ we are considering‚ will each have an impact on our city‚ like roads and traffic‚ sewers‚ air and water pollution and the surrounding environment. When weighing these issues‚ along with the jobs and revenues that these companies can

Due to their proximity to homes and the materials used‚ construction sites may generate home pollution. This involves air‚ water‚ soil‚ and/or noise pollution. Additionally
