How can water generate Electricity? There are two primary methods for generating electricity from water. One method uses the energy potential of trapped water in dams in a more sophisticated version of the water wheel‚ and the other method of generating electricity is to capture energy from ocean waves. Electricity generated from water is entirely renewable‚ sinccete water is an abundant natural resource First method:When a dam is used to generate energy‚ tunnels are installed in the dam when

desalination of water water‚ desalination of‚ process of removing soluble salts from water to render it suitable for drinking‚ irrigation‚ or industrial uses. The principal methods used for desalination include distillation (or evaporation)‚ electrodialysis‚ freezing‚ ion exchange‚ and reverse osmosis. In distillation saltwater is heated in one container to make the water evaporate‚ leaving the salt behind. The desalinated vapor is then condensed to form water in a separate container. Although long

Aim: To compare the foaming capacities of five different commercial soaps. Apparatus: 5 test tubes‚ 5 conical flasks (100 ml)‚ test tube stand‚ Bunsen burner and stop watch. Materials Required: 5 different samples of soap and distilled water Theory: The foaming capacity of a soap sample depends upon the nature of soap and its concentration. This can be compared for various samples of soaps by taking the same concentration of solution and shaking them.The foam is formed and the time taken

Water is an integral part of land/soil productivity. Its misuse can cause both degradation and erosion of soils. Management of water resource is considered to necessary for well being of human life as well as crop yields. There is a gap between the seasonal availability of water and its equitable supply throughout the year. Accordingly the storage of water and passage through soils is very important. It is well known that about 70% area in this country is subject to varying degree of water stress

he Color of Water Book Review In this memoir‚ the author chooses to have two narrators‚ himself as one‚ and his mother as the other. This style makes for quite an interesting story‚ skipping back and forth in time‚ from the child’s life‚ to that of his mother.

It should be noted that this hypothesis does not deny that egoism can be the motivation for our actions and that humans tend to ensure their own self-preservation and well-being first. Instead it aims to provide an alternative
