normal desired range is 6.0 to 7.0, but many Texas soils are naturally 7.5 to 8.3. Leaching the salts from these soils does not increase the pH of saline soils. On the other hand Saline-sodic soils are same as saline soils, except that they have significantly higher
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Defining the Problem Stormwater spillover can be characterized as "… the water that streams over the area from precipitation amid or after a tempest occasion or as an aftereffect of snowmelt" (Pyzorha 1994). By and large, a piece of this spillover will be assimilated through invasion, while the rest will advance toward streams and lakes. As watersheds experience an increment in urbanization, be that as it may, impenetrable scope builds, in this way lessening invasion. Diminished
sites in Texas. Texas currently has millions of acers under lease for drilling of oil and gas wells. These leases typically include a 1-2-acre pad site and an access road. In some areas hundreds of pad sites can be interconnected leaving the environment scared and otherwise unusable to its original purpose examples are farming, pasture land, or native landscape. The Texas Rail Road Commission (RRC) has the authority and jurisdiction over the oil and gas industries operating in Texas. Currently
that were associated with tropical cyclones in the country. From 1960 to 2005, the top five US states that registered the most damages and losses to both property and human life are Texas, California, South Dakota, Virginia, and West Virginia. The nature of the severity of flood damage is similar to that of water damage. The extent of the resulting damage to properties and its commensurate loss in value is directly proportional to the length of time the property was exposed or was in contact

This also results in a secondary benefit—less water is needed to water plants fertilized by compost. Compost is also very nutrient rich, so rich that gardeners commonly refer to it as “black gold” (“Evanston…” 3). It improves soil fertility as the composting process encourages
INTRODUCTION Rarely do the geologic processes of the earth make major news headlines, but oftentimes when they do, it is because a catastrophic event has occurred and has seized public attention. This was unfortunately the case in 2013, when Florida native Jeff Bush became the victim of a tragic geologic event that left many Americans wondering if they were truly ever standing on “solid ground” (Sinkhole Swallows Florida Man).
