This valley was created by the movement of glaciers, so it was carved out during the same period of time that the Finger Lakes were created. However, due to the elevation of the valley the water within the valley did not stay after the glaciers left. When the valley was filled with water, it contained salt water

Each dam considered for removal requires a cost-benefit analysis to determine the best possible objectives and plan for removal. Many social, ecological, and economical factors become part of the overall proposal. The fragmented rivers divide many biotic communities and restrict migration for different species and organisms. Many ecosystems suffer from poor

anyway? One of the reasons why Metro Manila constantly battles with the flood problem is because a large part of it is situated on a floodplain. What are floodplains? Floodplains are landscapes that are formed when running water, often in streams and rivers, transports eroded rock and other similar materials from their banks to a lower part of the Earth’s surface. At these lower parts, the flow of water slows down, and the rock and materials that the water is carrying are dropped. This leads to the
