Persuasive Essay On Lake George

In 1960, Lake Erie was very polluted A lot of the cities such as Toledo, Sandusky, and Port Clinton’s waste was dumped into Lake Erie. Many of the factories that were surrounding the lake erie would dump their waste into the river, which was the cause of a lot of the pollution. Pesticides and chemicals from nearby farms washed off into the river whenever it rained, so the chemicals started to pollute the river. The cities that surround the near by river or lake paid a huge amount of money to get new sewer systems to help keep the water clean. This major source of freshwater is critical to the survival of the entire ecosystem and must be protected at all costs.

: Larchwood Lake may not ever be the same again. The story about Larchwood Lake is not that uncommon. Without doing extensive research into possible things that could occur by lowering the lake level, the Larchwood Lake Homeowner’s Association destroyed the very thing they were trying to protect. Carelessness and poor planning are not the only root causes however. There are a number of reasons that led to the degradation of Larchwood Lake that happen to relate to more macro level environmental issues. Those reasons are poorly designed environmental policy created by the E.P.A., poor understanding of lake ecology by the managers of the land, and false confidence in poorly planned ideas. By looking at how these factors contributed to the degradation of the lake, hopefully we will be able to make more ecological sound decisions in the future.

Providence Canyon, or the "Little Grand Canyon" as some call it, is a well-known tourist attraction in southwest Georgia. It is, as of now, a state park. However many believe that it should be recognized and made a national park. There are many reasons to support this decision. There is various types of wildlife, it could also be good for education on erosion and rock formations, and it would be good for the economic purposes because it is engulfed in tourism every year. This is why many believe that Providence Canyon should be made a national park.

These tasks go hand and hand with the City Public Works Drainage Division which administrates permits, and is responsible for the implementation and the execution of stormwater best management practices through the use of various resources such as personnel, and medium and heavy equipment. Public Works maintains more than 350 miles of storm sewer drainage system within the City and approximately 150 miles of drainage ditches and thousands of storm water inlets. Public Works crews work continually throughout the year removing trash and debris, mowing drainage ditches, vacuuming stormwater inlets, as well as other tasks to maintain a healthy drainage infrastructure. Unfortunately, the City is faced with the challenges of sustaining its extensive MS4 program and existing drainage infrastructure due to the lack of additional financial resources. Certain sections of the City’s drainage system are more than 50 years old and deteriorating. As the City continues to grow and expand, the need for repairs, retrofitting and maintaining the City’s existing infrastructure is as equally important as creating new capital projects.

Back in the 1960’s, Lake Erie was declared “dead” because, ironically, it was full of life – just not the right kind (GLIN, n.d.). The algal blooms that formed due to high concentrations of nutrient-loaded city street run off invaded the freshwater lake, killing native species, reducing oxygen quantities, and smothering beaches with its slime (GLIN, n.d.).

A new lake, one that was in all respects mini Lake Powell. With Red Sand Stone cliffs, and beautiful red sand beaches this new lake had all of the qualities of Lake Powell. In Addition to the lake there are massive sand dunes that attracted 4-wheelers, Jeepers, Campers, and Hikers. In short all kinds of people were flocking to the New Park that was closer to St George than the 2.5 Hour Drive to the much Larger Lake Powell. Quickly a few problems surfaced, the largest of which was trash. People would bring sack lunches or dinners to the lake and enjoy them on the sandy beach, but when it came time to leave the sac they brought it in broke and they would often leave the trash on the beach. The Park struggled to manage the problem, Paid Staff and Volunteers where brought in multiple times a week to try to clean the beaches. This is where my Eagle Project came

In 1923-1947 Arkansas Power and Light (AP&L) constructed several dams on two Arkansas lakes, Hamilton and Catherine. AP & L obtained “flood easements” on property adjoining the lakes. AP&L sold lake side property and kept the easement in force. These flood easements permitted AP&L to “clear of trees, brush, and other obstruction and to submerge by

Living here has taught me the importance of a successful business> Lake George is a tourist town so most of the business around are only open in the summer.

It has no taste, no smell and no color. We find it in tanks, ponds, wells, rivers and springs. Almost three-fourth of the earth is water. Millions of years ago human beings used water for all rare reasons. Up till now people don't appreciate how precious water is.

“Come on little crabby, come into my pot. Ill slather you in butter, I'll eat you up a lot…”, I sang to my mother as she slowly pulled the crab pot up with her thick, black rubber gloves to protect against the deep red jellyfish that strike with their long tentacles without notice. She pulled the line gently, making sure not to disrupt the structure of the pot and release the delicious bottom feeders we captured that morning. As the pot neared the surface, my siblings and I reached our little heads over the side of the canoe. The wooden canoe rocked back and forth from our weight, making us all scream in sync because we were scared of the dark, cold water of the sound that sweeps children away with ease. The water is an abyss to us; full of deep sea creatures that we have never encountered. We quivered at the thought of the sharks that slowly make their way through the water, searching for the leftover seals that the orcas left behind when they migrated through these waters. We fear these waters, but we respect them like the generations before us. We never take more than we need, and we always give back. Even as young children, we are careful to take care of this delicate system and learn from it.
