The Delaware River flows from the Delaware River Basin in the state of New York, creating a natural boundary between Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. The lower boundary of the river is urbanized and the upper boundary is rural with very little industry. If the Delaware River Basin were to be disturbed, many people would be affected. The Delaware River Basin is a major source of drinking water for many in the metro New York City area and houses many species that play an important role in the ecosystem of the Delaware River. The Basin also houses a very important resource, natural gas. The natural gas in the basin lies deep within the Marcellus shell rock formation and would need to be extracted using the hydraulic fracturing process,

The Orlando area surprises many people – pleasantly so – with its bevy of options for enjoying the great outdoors and the vibrant presence of lakes and parks. Downtown Orlando has Lake Eola Park as a sparkling showpiece, complete with swans and an iconic cascading fountain. The park is in the middle of downtown, so nine-to-fivers can break away for lunch in the shade. Locals walk or jog around the lake’s circumference (close to a mile), and they get a fantastic view of the skyline as well as exercise. The park is also a venue for the Sunday Farmers Market and cultural events.

We are finally here. First, we check in at the camp office, we had online reservations for a specific site, so the registration went with ease. Then we stock up on firewood purchasing five bundles. Being somewhat of a regular here we know exactly how to get to our destination campground. We drove on a narrow, winding dirt road, the gravel under the tires made a popping sound to our site and the drive was gorgeous - fall foliage at its best. A coating of vibrant red, yellow, and orange covers the terrain. Panoramic views of the sprawling Pawtackaway lake are breathtaking to witness. Wooded campgrounds line the shore of the lake and most of them come with a private view of the water. You get the feeling of being secluded in forest and lake environment with a relaxing and picturesque atmosphere. The lake is spotted with numerous various size islands mainly created from post glacier rock formations. Much of the topography is boulder spawn giving it a New Hampshire mountain feel. There actually is a small mountain you can hike. Hiking trails overlooking the rim of the rambling lake. There is a no better place to escape to the great

The utilization of nature has increased due to human amendments of trails and parks.

The Smithton Sportsman's Club is one of the most beautiful places in Smithton, Illinois. Upon entering, it does not look like much, but as I pull up on the gravel road next to the first pavilion, the first lake becomes visible. Trucks rolling along the gravel road and singing frogs are the only sounds that I can hear. Large trees reflect perfectly off the still water. Occasionally a frog jumps in or a fish makes a splash: making the only movement in the water. Separating the first two lakes is a dam that allows me to walk across to the third lake. When standing on the bank, I look through the clear water and see small bluegill swimming around in search of food. As I walk towards the third lake I see trees perfectly lined up to make relaxing

Intricate ecosystems joined together by seemingly never ending water reserves set the tone for Michigan's amazing great lakes, my personal appreciation of the great lakes reaches a new all time high every year I visit. The tender kisses from the sun as I spend my day enjoying the water feels irreplaceable. The risks being taken by our government that directly impact Michiganders and their surrounding courter-parts should be taken seriously.

When you turn on your tap in the summer, do you expect the water to be green? No? Well, the people who receive their water from Lake Erie do. Lake Erie, one of the biggest freshwater sources in the world and a huge economy booster, is being ailed by the same problems we had 40 and 50 years ago. In the 1960’s, the very industrialized shores of Lake Erie began to see pollution, mainly in the Cleveland area: factories and other companies were dumping their waste into the lake and its tributaries, without any supervision from the government. Because of this waste, the presence of phosphates and nitrates increased, leading to the development of algae, or eutrophication. (Rotman) Oxygen was low in the water, and massive fish kills happened as a result. In 1969, the Cuyahoga River caught on fire, leading to more negative publicity about the health of the tributaries of the lake. The lake earned the

The Great Lakes is the smallest of all the regions and consists of two parts, but is surprisingly populated. This region is comprised of the very southern parts of Ontario and Quebec. These two portions are separated by the Canadian Shield that extends across the St. Lawrence River all the way to United States. Its landscape is breathtakingly gorgeous consisting large water bodies, mountains, flatlands. The reason this region is so populated, is that it holds some of the majorly known bodies of water, including, Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior. Much like Interior Plains, this region is made of bedrock formed of sedimentary rock during the Paleozoic era. This bedrock may be seen in an abundant of escarpments.
