It is a given that cleaning up the Citarum River will be no easy task. I have been thinking of my own master plan to use ADB’s loan of 500 million dollars for the purposes of reducing the pollution within the Citarum River. First and foremost, it should be understood that it will take about a decade or more to have a major impact on this river. This plan will lead the course of that time span, even if some steps may need to be repeated. Earlier within lecture three, there was a video of school children cleaning up one of the rivers that connects to the Chesapeake Bay. With only one class of children, over five thousand pounds – or two tons - of pollutants were removed from the stream they worked on. If there were a way to gather the communities living on around the shore of the Citarum River, an organized “Community Clean-Up Day” could take place once a week for as long as it takes to clean most of the trash from the river. Since there is so much garbage covering the river during dry season on the Citarum, it will be necessary to use part of the $500 million to build a waste facility within the community. In this facility, trash will be collected and transported to its respected wasteland outside of the community and away from the river. …show more content…
Alongside our garbage waste facility that is to be built, we will also build an industrial waste facility. In America, we have many facilities such as this to dispose of oils and hazardous chemicals properly. We will build a replica of an American facility quite literally right beside the industrial factory. Any waste that is caught being dumped into the river will receive a large fine and will be sent to the Indonesian authorities for further
At the beginning of the month we stopped at the sweetwater river crossing because the land was ideal for camping and lavish for the animals. At nightfall we were attacked by another tribe of native americans, this battle was faster although more meaningful because 7 of my close friends died in the battle. Joseph and Tom both died in the battle leaving Tom, Dave and I left in the council. Joseph's death was early on in the battle, him and his family were slaughtered horrifically as joseph was fighting off the indians he watched as his daughter was decapitated and wife's throat was cut open as she screamed and pleaded, Joseph upon watching was distracted from the task at hand and was stabbed in the stomach and was left to bleed to death on the
On August 19th 1955 the state of Connecticut was flood that filled many of the valleys causing approximately $185.5million in damages and 87 fatalities. The flood was caused by two back to back hurricanes rains from Hurricane Connie and Diane that totaled from 13 to 30 inches of rainfall within a 24 hour period. The Naugatuck River, the Farmington River, the Quinebaug River, Mad and Still Rivers were hit the hardest destroying 563 homes, the majority of which were located in lower Naugatuck Valley and Beacon Falls. Since this great flood many new ways to control this situation have been developed and put in place, such as many damns but by the Army Corps, to protect the surrounding towns.
I am Dianaysis River; a girl who has a solid support system consisting of loving parents, an annoying yet reliable brother, and some of my closest friends. I’m girl who was born and raised in the beautiful city of Milwaukee. It always puzzled me why Milwaukee isn’t Wisconsin capitol, I must just have too much pride in my city. It is just a shame Milwaukee is not what it used to be. I remember when I was a child there was so much life in this city. It was safe, clean, it was a place many could call home.
Passage 1 Passage 1 is the first description, in the beginning, that readers get of Georgiana specifically, through Alymer’s eyes. It is also the first introduction to the themes of control and obsession that continue throughout the rest of the story. This passage establishes the dichotomy that forms between Georgiana’s beauty and Almer’s desire for complete and utter perfection. Alymer, to some extent, is set up to be a character that tries to play ‘God’ where, instead, he ends up being more akin to the ‘Devil’. Wherein, he destroys Georgiana in his quest to make her “perfect”.
Imagine an Earth devoid of clean rivers with no inland marine life or readily available freshwater. This situation may arise if humanity does not volunteer to end its polluting tendencies. Initially, each individual should focus on taking steps towards decontaminating his or her nearest water body. For those living in Delaware, this is the Delaware River, which is in need of drastic reform. “The Delaware River . . . is the fifth most-polluted river in the country, according to a report released . . . by Environment New Jersey” (Augenstein). However, this obstacle did not arise spontaneously. A recognized problem by the early eighteenth century, Delaware River pollution remained a serious issue for the next 300 years and mostly stemmed from rapid population growth and booming industrial activities (“Delaware River Water Quality”). As the years progressed, Delawareans continuously disregarded the Delaware River, and it is now immensely besmirched as a result of accumulating neglect for the river. Because of this, Delaware waters continued to befoul past the threshold of safety. Delaware waterways are currently unsafe for commercial use due to the presence of pollutants and parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium in the river that can cause significant health problems, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems (“Delaware”). The polluted Delaware River, sullied by companies despite the Clean Water Act, may cause a decline in Delaware’s’ marine life, human
William Shakespeare’s supreme tragic drama Hamlet does not answer fully for many in the audience the pivotal question concerning the sanity of Hamlet – whether it is totally feigned or not. Let us treat this topic in detail, along with critical comment.

The health of the streams and rivers in Missouri is slowly being jeopardized, and it is having a major impact on my life. Two-thirds of Missouri’s river systems are vulnerable to pollution and development. Irresponsible and uncaring polluters dump garbage into streams, not thinking of the effect it has on the environment. Developers destroy wetlands and rivers to build shopping malls, outlet stores, and various other profit-producing chain stores, and there is hardly a thing environmentalists can do about it. The small waterways being polluted and destroyed have an even larger effect, as most of them directly connect and feed the Meramec, Current, and other precious rivers that sustain cherished aquatic life in Missouri.
From that time, I dreamed a lot about swimming in rivers. I was passionate and determined that I want to make the rivers clean again. Water treatment, pollution issues, and everything related
In July 1967, In Motaba Valley, a virus including a a hundred percent mortality rate begins infecting people. The virus will become acknowledged as like the Motaba virus, yet it's so lethal that it causes extreme bleeding then liquefies inner organs, killing within three days. The virus wipes out Motaba Valley, then a devastatingly massive fireplace bomb is dropped to Motaba River Valley into order according to decrease the risks concerning in addition infection. The demolition bomb was once dropped regarding the orders about immoral General Donald McClintock, even though a military specialist, General Bill Ford, was in contradiction of the idea. 27 years later, in 1994, in that place is another outbreak into Motaba River Valley. At the United
My involvement and support in implementing and maintaining creek restoration projects has been an extremely rewarding focus and exposure during my internship. The City’s most active creek restoration site is Lower Colgan Creek Phase 1, which Sean McNeil had taught me to care for by leading public events, monitoring vegetation succession, and preforming on-site watering and maintenance. During the summer of 2017, I served as the lead for operating our water trailer to distribute water to the restoration projects under established native plants. Since learning about the native, ecological, and historic context of the Colgan Creek restoration reach, I’ve been able to share this knowledge with volunteers,
The theme “Interaction between Humans and the Environment” shows the ways in which environment shapes societies and how humans shape the environment. An example for this theme is the discussion about the geography of Chicago and its sewage system. Chicago, a city built on an unforgivably flat land, had drainage problems. According to How We Got to Now - Six Innovations That Made the Modern World, “The primary system for sanitation removal was scavenging pigs roaming the streets, devouring the refuse that the humans left behind” (page 128). As the population grew, the filth accumulates. Ellis Chesbrough, the chief in cleaning project of the Chicago, devised a plan that was successful in removing the city’s waste, but there was one major fatal flaw. Almost all the sewer pipes drained into the Chicago River, that emptied into Lake Michigan, the city’s source of water supply, thus polluting it. The author use this historical development to support his argument in the book. The invention of the sewage system in Chicago revolutionize the world of hygiene. It allows the city to get rid of their toxic waste so that the city remains relatively clean. Although the system
Recently, Providence has started to clean up the Seekonk River and the harbor and Baltimore has made huge strides towards a cleaner waterfront. In Baltimore, John Kellett, a local sailor and engineer, designed two solar and hydro powered trash wheels call Mr. and Professor Trash Wheel. The wheels scoop out trash from Jones Falls and Harris Creek respectively before the trash enters the harbor. They use the current of the river, a conveyor belt and a series of floating beams to funnel the trash into one area, where it can easily be removed and recycled. These contraptions harness the power of nature to remove plastic from the water before it enters the harbor and diffuses. Since the first wheel’s launch in 2014, it has removed over a million pounds of garbage, which
