impacts. In the following essay, I will explore cumulative impacts on the terrestrial and marine environment resulting from groundwater use, mining and agricultural practices in the Australian context. Using examples from the Murray Darling Basin, Bowen Basin, the Fitzroy River and the Great Barrier Reef, I will

flow continuously be monitored through electric conductivity units (ECU). There are 18 interception schemes operating as of now, they are large pumping systems that pull groundwater and drainage water from the environment diverting them into a salt basin away from the river. This process is effective as it prevents more than half a million tons of salt yearly from threatening the waterway and reduces the electric conductivity, which means the amount of

What is Social Justice? Social justice is considered to be justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society. In the early 1800s slavery was very prominent in America. There was such a divide between African Americans and Europeans. As time progressed it seems as though America has been on a “downward spiral”. Over time it has become progressively worse. The Civil Rights movement is a prime example of the deficiency amongst minorities in America. African

To some, trapping animals seems like a tradition upheld by people who have had those traditions passed down to them. The act of trapping animals as a way of life and in Montana it is on par with hunting and fishing. To some it seems like a practice that should’ve been left in the last century, but there is a growing group that would challenge that very notion. For those who take trapping as a way of life, it would seem as though it is the very thing that keeps their hearts pumping blood, a tradition

The Amargosa project is located in Nye County, Nevada—approximately 100 km northwest of Las Vegas (population ~600,000 people), 35 km northwest of Pahrump (population ~36,000 people), and at coordinates 570100 mE/ 4036200 mN (WGS84, Zone 11S). The project currently comprises 142 unpatented mining claims covering 1150 ha (2,840 acres ). Battery Mineral Resources (BMR), through sister company Resource Capital Gold Corp (RCG), entered into an option agreement with Lithium Assets Inc. to purchase an

Industrial development and population growth have created a surge in global demand for energy. The tension in the Middle East and the sharp rise in oil prices since the 1990’s had Western countries like the US scrambling to secure alternative energy sources. While solar and wind energy is flourishing, energy industries have pursued more aggressive means of tapping the earth’s resources. Continued mining, drilling, and especially hydraulic fracturing have been a “game changer” for the US. Although

on earth and if it disappeared life could not and would not exist on this planet. So if one of our main sources of water in South Australia, The Murray Darling-Basin, becomes unusable then we would need to find the problem and do everything possible to stop it or counteract it. This report investigates on salinity in the Murray Darling-Basin, using the issue question “Is there enough being done to counteract the effects of salinity in the Murray?” as the focus. Salinity is a key significant environmental

In “Los Angeles Notebook”, Joan Didion introduces Santa Ana, a dry wind that is characteristic of Los Angeles region. She emphasizes the severity of Santa Ana by depicting the influence it brings to people and the environment. The visit of Santa Ana stirred up people and causes fire, leaving people and the environment vulnerable to such weather. Didion provides details and vignettes that depicts people’s nervous and anxious reactions to underscore how significantly Santa Ana influences Los Angeles

A Windy Night in Los Angeles In her 1968 essay, Los Angeles Notebook, Joan Didion opens her essay with a brief account about the natural phenomenon that is the Santa Ana winds. In her view, the winds are an awesome yet frightening freak of nature; an intangible and inexplicable feeling that passes you once a year. Though science has prevailed with an explanation, the Santa Ana winds are unexplainable. Through her use of diction, selection of detail, and vivid examples, Didion is able to convey her
