Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario is a charming town situated at the point where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario. Its nickname, “Loveliest Town in Canada”, is well-deserved. It’s a town rich in both natural and cultural beauty. One of the highlights of its events calendar is the Shaw Festival, which celebrates the works of George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries from April to November each year with live performances. Due to its mild climate and number of natural lakes, Niagara-on-the-Lake has become

Smith Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology Thesis: Georgia should be able to continue their withdrawals from Lake Lanier and the water basins because of their water supply needs for irrigating its crops in the south, flood control, and sustaining its rapidly growing population in the metro Atlanta area.

Lake Victoria in the East African Rift Valley is young compared to the surrounding lakes in the region. Despite this, the haplochromine cichlid fish that inhabit this lake have shown rapid evolution. The lake was formed by a combination of tectonic movement and river water reversal of an “ancient drainage system” in the Pleistocene. The lake is also shallow compared to others in the area (a maximum depth of 69 meters), so it is unlikely that the resident cichlids could have survived in pools during

The Nile River is arguably one of the most important water sources in the world and has an extremely rich history dating back thousands of years. Without the Nile, the ancient Egyptian civilization would have never existed. Egypt is basically a whole lot of sand and not much else, except they have the Nile River flowing through it, on it’s way to the Mediterranean sea. The ancient Egyptians lived along the Nile River and it provided them with abundant water, food (fish) and the opportunity to develop

Mishigamaa means “large water” or “large lake.” This state is known for its large and beautiful bodies of water. In my experiences, I have noticed that Michigan has extremely fresh and clean, large bodies of water in comparison to other Midwest states. Michigan involves two peninsulas, the Upper and Lower Peninsula. They are separated by the Straits of Mackinac and a few nearby islands. The Straits of Mackinac connects two of the Great Lakes; Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. They are connected by the Mackinac

species destroying the environment, it was normal for people to dump invasive species into lakes, streams, and rivers, but in today’s society, releasing and bringing invasive species into the environment has come to a near existent halt. When the Welland Canal was built in 1829, it created more connecting routes between the Great Lakes. In addition, it allowed larger boats to make their way upstream into the lakes when previously, only smaller, local boats were able to travel in the small rivers and

be seen by using the best type of water to hatch out future brine shrimp. I believe this project will set out to prove that brine shrimp eggs will hatch best in ocean water. Brine shrimp are naturally found in mass numbers in the Great Salt Lake of Salt Lake City, Utah (The Brine Shrimp Life Cycle, 2015). Brine shrimp are also found in inland salt water bodies such as on the rocky coast south of San Francisco, and in the Caspian Sea (Descriptions and Articles About the Brine Shrimp, 2015). They

dumping grounds or local governments do not have the finances to improve it. Many times there is a lack of awareness among a society that these acts of mass pollution are even taking place. In this paper I will compare The Duwamish River in Seattle to Lake Nicaragua in Nicaragua. It does not matter where an urban body of water is located in the world; if a city, industry or urban population are able to pollute a large water body with little to no penalty they will do it until they are punished or need

The city of New Orleans lies below sea level in a bowl bordered by levees which prevent the high waters of the Mississippi River from flooding the city. These levees were put to the test on August 29, 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit, causing severe destruction along the Gulf coast. Three concrete floodwalls protecting the city of New Orleans fractured and burst under the weight of surging waters from the hurricane, killing hundreds and resulting in an estimated $100 to $150 billion worth of damage
