Many researchers are trying to find new renewable energy sources to help diminish carbon emissions‚ which cause global warming. Carbon dioxide (C02) is released from human activities as well as using fossil fuel these are the causes of global warming and the green-house effect (European commission 2003). The release of green house gases has risen because of increasing population and technology development which has resulted in high demand for the use of fossil fuels. This is a serious issue in many

thus benefiting the environment. Hydro-electric power plants today are geniuses of human intelligence. The first step to building a power plant is to build a dam. This is important because the dam creates a huge reservoir from which power can be harvested. Dams greatly boost the steadiness of these power plants. The water behind the dam flows into conduits called penstocks. These penstocks control the flow of water so the correct amount of electricity is generated. The penstocks lead the water

Rockefeller was at the top and Carnegie was in second always fighting for that top spot‚ his partner Frick‚ was devious and made things how he wanted despite the people he hurt. The widening of the dam‚ the thousands of people killed‚ the Homestead steel factory strike‚ and the Sportsmens club‚ are events that Henry Frick had a huge part in. Carnegie attempts to fix his name‚ but the efforts do not work. He was still behind Rockefeller in wealth‚

The first water body I tested was the small dam in the bokkie park situated in between residential areas and in the middle of a piece of land solely used for animals. The second water body I tested was the small dam across the road from the Trinity Church in Boksburg on Rondebult Road‚ which is in a veld and has no residential areas surrounding it and very few wild animals which

Introduction: South Asian countries‚ particularly India and Pakistan‚ have both faced challenges in water management and proper river basin management. The consequence of this has been a severe water crisis‚ which has a bearing on both ground and surface water. A cursory glance at the data on fresh water availability per person‚ per year reveals this vulnerability. South Asia’s renewable freshwater resources are about 1‚200 cubic meters per capita. In comparison‚ a large number of countries have

The Maya civilization began to wane towards the end of the Classic period. Nobody knows exactly why‚ but it has been a continuing mystery to archaeologists for hundreds of years. Around the year 800 AD‚ the once thriving Maya civilization of Mesoamerica began to rapidly collapse. There were a series of catastrophic volcanic eruptions that had devastated the countryside. This was followed by two extreme droughts that lasted for long periods of time. This goes without mentioning the unending wars
