“Crater Lake is such a dazzling sight that it’s easy to forget its origins” (Howells, 2011). Crater Lake National Park is located in southwest Oregon. Crater Lake National Park lies in Klamath County which is also northeast of a city named Medford. Crater Lake National Park is three hours and 43 minutes away from Salem, the capital city of Oregon. Its actual lake is located in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. Crater Lake National Park is 2,718 miles from Benton, AR and would take one day and

Can This Lake Be Restored? Now known as the ‘phantom’ lake, the Tulare Lake is a perfect example of one of all environmental casualties that have occured because of mining and farming. This once incredibly rich in wildlife lake is located in the San Joaquin Valley. West of the Mississippi, the Tulare Lake was once so big it could stretch over 690 square miles across the Central Valley. Fed by four major rivers and a handful of smaller ones with headwaters in the Sierra Nevada, the lake was once

dangerous toward our health. We live near the Great Lakes which supplies 20% of the World’s fresh water. It also has chemicals that threaten the life evolving around the fresh water. There are medical drugs that are being introduced to the fresh water lakes. Stuff like antibiotics and steroids. These pharmaceuticals are posing danger for the environment. This could affect the lake life,s growth. Pesticides are also found in the Great Lakes. These pesticides are made up of dangerous chemicals

The majority of the world freshwater is shallow and confined to lowland areas (Beklioglu et al., 2011). These shallow polymictic lakes usually with a depth of less than three meters are an important natural resource and facilitate numerous services, as result having a crucial economical and conservation value (Beklioglu et al., 2011). High quality of these lakes has become a political obligation with initiatives such as the European commission’s water frame work directive implemented both locally

Hannah Park Period 6 Mrs. Suto Berkeley Pit Disaster Introduction When one hears someone say the word “Berkeley”, there are many different ideas that come to one’s mind, such as Berkeley as in a girl’s name, the famous Berkeley University, and much more; however, of the many Berkeley’s in this world, it is evident that the Berkeley Pit is of the most serious environmental problem. A former open pit copper mine, Berkeley Pit, is now one of the most closely observed disaster in our nature today. The

Senneterre in Quebec, Canada. It is about an eighteen hour drive to go fishing at Parent Lake Lodge. We stay for about two weeks in a small cabin. It’s made of wood and a tile roof. We rent it from a married couple about sixty years old, Lisette and Rolan. It doesn’t cost a lot of money, about two thousand dollars, to stay there two and a half weeks. It is a very small, white, run down cabin overlooking the lake. The view is gorgeous out of a cracked window. You see the deep, blue, glass-like water

Cedar Lake has been known for years to be a swamp of pestilence that many are afraid to touch, and for good reason. The Factories that surround the lake used to dispose of their waste directly into the water. Most of the chemicals are no longer in the water system, and the water quality is now good enough to harvest fish from the lake. The problems faced now are sedimentation that has made the lake shallow, and people’s perception of the lake. The Iowa DNR working alongside the Friends of Cedar Lake

degree range. The lowest Temperature was at the bottom of the lake being 22 meters deep with a temperature at 7.35°C (figure 1). The oxygen levels demonstrated a slightly different graph than the temperature. The oxtengen levels started at 11.84 mg/L. This saturation level rose for the next 2 meters peaking at 11.6 mg/L. Within a few meters the oxygen level dropped to 5.1 mg/L at 5 meters deep, at 6 meters the oxygen

nutrients into fresh water lakes, rivers and reservoirs leads to excessive growth of three different plant species: a) Open water algae (phytoplankton) b) Attached algae (periphyton) c) Higher plants (macrophytes) Above all, these organisms encourage the growth of algae, which absorb dissolved oxygen in the water essential for the survival of fish populations. Occasionally,

My mind was buzzing. What had just happened? In the distance, I saw cars driving by completely unaware of what happened, how I felt. Disappointment, disbelief and fear filled my mind as I was crying hysterically from not knowing what had just happened in my life. I opened my eyes finding myself tilted on the passenger’s door. I didn’t know if I was sleeping and that I was stuck in this nightmare or if this was actually reality. I smelled the car’s engine. It was definitely reality. On June 27th,
