The current population of Newbai is three times what it was in 2016 with 7.292 million people living here. The location[ is on the east coast of the UAE. When is this you may ask? 2216, the bicentennial of Newbai’s refunding! In what was known as Newbai. Newbai’s temperature has dropped since 2016 (when the temperature average was 113o F), as the average for the year is now 79° F. This temp is due to the fact that people over time have actually started caring about their environment and have started using renewable resources more. Our Persian Gulf was utilized properly and filtered down into drinkable water for our people. The 2016 water situation in the UAE was poor, to say the least. What we’ve done is bought 100 water filters (come one, the UAE is rich enough to afford this). Our treasury has provided the funds to do this. This investment will be almost instantly returned when millions of our tourists decide to stay because of our quality funding. From there the people have a choice, to stay at our seven story mall which is equipped with the finest drinks. Such as Masafi, or our private housing. Our population would’ve been a lot larger if the UAE hadn’t been as stingy. Our city is a Mecca of sorts, it’s an infrastructural holy grail! Our largest source of industry is shipping different types of materials to the U.K and other first world nations. Our version of Newbai has incorporated more mixed use, with multiple amounts of mixed use buildings. With the idea of seven
Just imagine what would happen if New York City’s water supply completely deteriorated or stopped providing us with water due to climate change. Residents of New York have a responsibility of learning about our water, and voicing our opinions to help the water supply continue to sustain its 9 million inhabitants. The NYCDEP provides “Water Utilities” in their
"Water For All" is a mission statement of an MIT project claims that clean water is paramount to a successful society and that there are consequences to inaction toward this problem. The article first provides a description of why water is important and who it affects next, it explains where water is and how it is used and lastly, it analyzes a solution and the consequences if a successful solution is not provided. The author gives data on the people who are affected by the lack of drinkable water in order to convince the reader that this is a large problem. The language in this article is simple yet informative widening the audience to anyone who can help aid the program or anyone who can spread the word about the program.
Having so many cultures and so many great minds condensed into such a small area creates a breeding ground for art and innovation. Big cities have more than proven their capability of creating wonderful works of Music, literature, new technology, and new discoveries capable not only of making us proud of our cities but proud of our species.
While Population: 485 centers on several different themes throughout the book, I chose to focus my interpretation on the sense of belonging the author, Michael Perry, seems to crave all through the literature, and more specifically, during chapters one and seven. In chapter one, titled Jabowski’s Corner, he opens the door to his journey by bringing us to the small town of New Auburn, Wisconsin. This is the place he belongs. He introduces many of the people of New Auburn in every chapter, but I chose chapter seven because he describes the diverse groups of individuals that make up the town and refers to them as “My People,” which is also the title of the chapter. These are the people that make up the town, the people he belongs with. I
Contextualizing history is heavily intertwined with the development and shaping of Los Angeles as a whole. Los Angeles has always been deemed to be one of the hardest cities to develop in being one of the greatest cities in the world. This comes as a result of all of the history behind the buildings in the city. In addition, many of the buildings in the great city (both historical structures and regular buildings) are being renovated and reshaped to keep up with modern trends. Throughout the course of the growth of the city of Los Angeles, the city has seen a lot of growth in terms of infrastructure and population. There has been a recent growth in the popularity and demand for mixed use development. Mixed use development is a very hot
Our accomplishments lie precisely in our ability to engage our community and maintain, preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of our people. We are pioneers in reclaiming lost and forgotten cultural
Charlotte, according to General Cornwallis “a hornet’s nest of rebellion.” Is on the verge of becoming world class. Listed as “gamma +” (linking a small economic region to the world economy) by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network; putting Charlotte in the same category as St. Petersburg, with Raleigh one grade below. But what is a world class city? Despite many different answers as to what composes one, there are a few standard traits that can be found such as: extensive public transit system, a populous international airport, Influence in political issues, prominent skyline, internationally renowned, and corporate headquarters. In order to raise Charlotte’s status to world class these are the steps I will take.
The effects of climate change may already be influencing weather patterns in southeast Florida. If temperatures rise, it is to expect that Florida’s climate zones will migrate northward, and zones of more tropical climate will enlarge, but the opposite has been the case despite record temperatures in the state because, while temperatures are higher, extremes are greater. As a result of sea level rise, coastal areas will see migration of seawater into fresh aquifers that will threaten the availability of fresh water supplies, however, the way groundwater works, the rise in sea level will be accompanied by an increase in groundwater levels. Southeast Florida has developed only by reducing groundwater levels. Rising seas also mean rising groundwater, so more intense rainfall will increase the risk of flooding (Bloetscher, Heimlich, & Meeroff 2011). The KOA campground in Okeechobee, Florida, is at risk for this natural disaster. This particular KOA location has a large annual occupancy, which correlates with a busy tourist season. Furthermore, the demand for drive tourism, however, is subject to an excess of ‘decision criteria’ including price, time, and infrastructure offerings during and at the destination point (Fjelstul & Fyall, 2015).
Pictured above is what is now known as Newington Boulevard. As can be seen, this particular area has undergone quite the transformation in the past 80 years. A number of apartments (point 2) have been built, as well as schools (point 1) and parks to provide a better living area for the residents in this area.
Today, desalination is a common process that's used in seaside cities and towns worldwide. There are more than 15,000 desalination plants around the world providing freshwater from salt and brackish water alike (Planet Green 2011). This number continues to grow as researchers work to improve the process, both in terms of cost effectiveness and energy efficiency (DSE 2011). But countries such as Australia, Israel and even the United States are continually adding desalination plants of various sorts into their water-management portfolios. The facilities are common in North Africa and the Mideast, where freshwater is scarce (Chandler 2008).
faced this problem seeing as we hold 7% of the worlds renewable water and are ranked as 2nd
There are many new initiatives and developments in the neighbourhood. For example, on 6th and Fir Street, a new park is being constructed.
Awela Musleh looks around her house during an interview with NPR News, ashamed of the disarray around her. Musleh is a mother of six, struggling to survive in the Palestinian-occupied West Bank, one of the most politically tumultuous regions of the world. “Look at how dirty my house is,” she tells Daniel Estrin, the host of the interview, “I focus on drinking, not cleaning.” Where she lives, water is a luxury. She relies on a few buckets of water to wash her dishes, shower by hand, and flush the toilet—buckets of water she bought from a truck that brings in water from other areas—trucks that are accused of such terrible price gouging, they’re outlawed in many Palestinian towns. But Musleh has no choice. Her town hasn’t had water for over two weeks.
Water is the main source of life on the Earth. It is vital for normal existence and functioning of organisms. Earth is sometimes called “water planet.” But, in fact, the number of freshwater is limited. “Only about 2 percent of the planet's water is fresh.” (How much water is there on Earth?) This water is not enough even to meet daily needs of mankind. According to World Health Organization, “a lack of water to meet daily needs is a reality today for one in three people around the world.” (2009) In the Middle East the situation is especially hard. This region is thought to be one of the droughtiest places in the world, most of it’s territory is deserted. Freshwater accounts to 1 percent of the world’s supplies, while the population comes
As the worlds population grows, it is forced by circumstances that it has created to face the limitations of the worlds resources. Most people in the US have always been fortunate enough to have enough of whatever they wanted. When something they like breaks or wears out, they throw it away or buy a new one, and they often don’t even make an attempt to repair an item. They neglect basic maintenance until they damage their belongings beyond repair, and expect that they’ll always have enough. But some things are beyond their control, beyond there power or financial ability to replace or repair. The world’s drinking water supply is one of these without concern, without attention, without preventative maintenance and reclamation and
