Our Most Precious Resource
Dirty and polluted water is one of the world’s biggest healthcare risks that threaten both the quality of life and public health. Pollution may come in the form of inappropriate disposal of garbage, improper treatment of sewage and agricultural run-off. This pollution affects not only the quality of the water but also the wellbeing of the citizens. Still, many people claim that the probability of doing harm by polluting our oceans, rivers and streams is less significant than the cost of disposing of trash or debris properly. Research has shown, however, that proper disposal initially is considerably less costly than the economic and public health costs involved when sewage and garbage is left to accumulate…show more content… The government is putting the value of development above the value of their citizen’s health.
With a sole focus on economic growth, China is killing itself. Even though China has experienced record-breaking development, almost half of the surface water and nearly two thirds of underground water, the primary source of drinking water, is deemed unfit for human contact (Faulkner). China has sixteen out of twenty of the world’s worst polluted cities according to the World’s Bank List. The discharge of industrial pollutants as well as untreated sewage causes disease-causing microorganisms to flourish. These microorganisms cause take a toll on the health and well-being of the citizens. Fortunately, growth while controlling pollution is possible. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has clear guidelines for new and existing industry. All companies are required to provide a Storm Water Protection Plan and comply with all local and federal guidelines (www.epa.gov/npdes). While the growth may come at a slower rate, the time spent in water cleaning infrastructure will yield returns in lower health care, cleanup costs, and provide more interest to investment capitalists. Attracting investment capitalists would likely hasten the industrial expansion process.
One of the considerations when planning a new development whether it is industrial or residential is a sewage system. There are three main types of sewer systems. Storm sewers
Water, What’s the Purpose?
Water is an entity that has been around since the begging of time. It fills the earth, oceans with a bluish green essence. It flows from the faucet and runs beneath busy populated city streets throughout the world. Water is something that is not just something beautiful to glance at as it roars off the side of a mountain and forms a majestic waterfall or when your glass of water is clearer than crystal, that is something that many of people take for granted and something

In a similar way, greenhouse gases are essential for our planet; the planet may be able to deal with slightly increased levels of such gases, but too much will affect the health of the whole planet.

The other difference between the natural carbon cycle and human-induced climate change is that the latter is rapid. This means that ecosystems have less chance of adapting to the

Social networking:
For years, social networking sites didn't exist, but yet people kept in touch. These days, with social networking sites becoming a part and parcel of our daily lives, there are advantages and disadvantages that come along with them. For example, you can make a friend from Timbuktu and on the flip side your account can get hacked and you can find yourself in a big mess.
A recent research revealed that teenagers tend to hide the real stuff by using code language you may never understand
