Introduction The proposed Pohick Creek watershed stream restoration project PC9249 is located northwest of Parliament Drive and east of Queen Victoria Court in Burke, VA, which is in Fairfax County. This project was designated as a 10-year high priority project in 2010 due to erosion, location of the adjacent neighborhoods, and the invested interest of the surrounding communities. Presently, only the design for the restoration project has been funded and was completed in May 2015. Although it has

Phosphate Recovery Test Aim: The ability to see how the body can replenish high energy phosphates between each repetition of the test. Hypothesis: I hypothesise that the runner will maintain the same intensity for a couple of repetitions and then will gradually drop off. Materials: • Cones of various colours, with two sets numbered 1-14 • Stopwatches • Whistle • Recording sheets • Appropriate area. E.g. An oval. Method: 1. Set up the course and place the cones numbered from 1-14 every 2 metres

The most significant issues with the land pollution are deforestation, soil contamination, and the improper disposal of garbage. “Land pollution is the degradation or destruction of earth’s surface and soil, directly or indirectly because of human activities; it refers to any activity that lessens the quality and/or productivity of the land as an ideal place for agriculture, forestation, and construction” (CEF, Land Pollution, para. 2). Some people understand land pollution as damaging the earth’s

According to Green Facts, an organization that provides information on Health and the Environment, the excessive use of intense fire can cause “irreversible changes in ecological processes, and ultimately, to desertification.” This in turn changes the soil organic matter, causes erosion, and changes the habitat for many plant and animal species (GreenFacts). However, this is not the only human-inducing practice that has caused the lost of vegetation leading into desertification. Inappropriate irrigational

INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY ENGY 601 – F01 STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN By: Piyush Bishnoi NYIT ID # 1075620 What is stormwater? Stormwater runoff is the rain water or snowmelt, which does not percolate into the soil and flow over the land. Rapid urbanization and development of building, roads, parking lots and impervious surface has resulted in increase in velocity, volume and temperature of stormwater runoff and decrease in infiltration into the soil. Uncontrolled

Kain AP Environmental Science A4 September 19 2016 1. Fracking is making fractured in the earth using high-pressure fluids to extract oil and gas. A benefit of fracking is that it lowers air pollution because fracking made natural gas which is better for the environment than coal. Some concerns involving fracking is that it involves a lot of water is used in the process and contamination of water. 2. Fracking illustrates some of the challenges we face in studying environmental science by not knowing

passion, interest, or profession of someone who isn 't interested in science or nature” (Nalini Nadkarni, n.d.). Like most who are not fully educated on a subject until they research it or take a course on it, I was not aware of the overall importance or impact that environmental science had on my everyday life and the world around me. One of the major things that have been brought to my attention in this course is environmental issues, and what I can do to help improve them. One of the convincing

I signed up to take AP Environmental Science this year because I was more interested in taking it than expanding on solely biology or chemistry. This course includes several different fields of study which is why I thought it would be very interesting and I would learn about several subjects compared to just one. Before completing any work for this course, my definition of environmental science would have been, the study of elements of the environment such as climate, soil, and water. I also would

My Environmental Ethic “Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children 's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.” (Theodore Roosevelt) My environmental ethic is to improve the environment to sustain living on earth. People in the world today don’t really take into effect the way they hurt the environment
