For the past few years the Great Basin Desert has been in a tremendously huge drought. The Humboldt River that used to be full of water year round has dropped dramatically to the point it is almost completely dry for the past few years. Also, this drought has continued for many years; it was only supposed

2008). In Europe, climate change has a strong north-south gradient, imposing positive changes in the north and negative changes in the south in terms of rainfall and precipitation (Christensen and Christensen, 2007). Areas such as the Mediterranean basin are particularly vulnerable and projected to experience more frequent, long-lasting and intensive drought events. Therefore as indicated by several studies annual river discharge is expected to decrease along with high seasonal flow variability (Alcamo

Amazonia, a place that is of big significance in both culture and in diversity of species. It covers most of South America in countries such as Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela, and a foreign possession country called French Guiana.

the temperature of Sanya in Hainan Province is above 20 degrees. In summer, most of extents are above 20 degrees centigrade despite the high Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and distinctive mountains, for instance, Tianshan. Among these problem areas, Turpan Basin in Xinjiang is the center for extraordinary warmth at 32 centigrade all things considered. In addition, the capital city of China is Beijing, a traditional and political city located at “the throat of the cock”, which is the shape of China’s map. As

Ewaso Ng’iro watershed is a catchment of water that stretches from the west side of Mount Kenya and across seven arid to semi arid landscapes (Said et al. 13). The catchment is characterized by vastly different physiographic features and species and has become a fundamental component to the survival of the wildlife, as well as the expansion of human population and socio-economic developments. Water, the limited land resource provided by the Ewaso Ng’iro watershed is unevenly distributed throughout

Let have a critical look at our environment as a complex system with many different interaction between its different components making life possible on earth. Unfortunately, human activities over the years have adversely affected the chemical, biological, physical and social component of the natural environment leading to environmental pollution and climatic change. In the United Kingdom for example, the ‘Great Smog of 1952’ cannot be forgotten in history when we talk about environmental pollution

crisis during those years, where the governor of California declared a state of emergency and urban Californians were mandated to find ways to cut their water consumption drastically . In 2012, 10,000 avian mortalities were reported in the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges because of the shut off of water facilities that support wetland habitat for migratory species (Learn 2012.) During those dry years, an article titled Birds are Dying As Drought Ravages Avian Highways ran in National Geographic

in underdeveloped countries. Shikanai-Yasuda and Carvalho (2012) concluded the etiologic agent of the disease forms in the blood and fluid of infected animals and humans and is transmitted at the bite sites of the triatomine bugs feces. The Amazon Basin in Brazil has experienced another form of transmission, orally, which is now considered the principal form of Chagas disease in the country. The outbreaks of orally transmitted Chagas in Brazil have been linked to food, sugar cane juice, water, acai

River Basin: The Basin can be found in South-Eastern Australia and mostly in the New South Wales, with a hot semi-arid North and North-East and a warm semi-arid South due to the proximity of the Southern Pacific Ocean ("About The Murray Darling Basin", 2016); vegetation consists of mostly small shrubs and sparse to semi-dense trees. The two largest rivers are the Murray and the Darling. They both find headwaters in the Australian Alps, along with other tributaries which flow into the basin, and are
