Lazy river

equipment used to calculate the flow of water in rivers, lakes, canals and streams. The aim of this assignment is to develop my understanding of stream power and specific stream power through my individual critical assessment of the class stream power exercise results. Stream power is a criterion that measures the amount of energy diffusion against river or stream bank. Specific stream power is the criterion that measures stream power per unit area of the river or stream channel. The stream power and specific

and as we reached the bottom, the view opened up into a beautiful river standing before me. I’ll never forget the first time I saw that stretch of the river. The summer sun glistened off the crystal-clear, slow-flowing water that drifted past tall hemlock-lined banks, over and around protruding chunks of bedrock, and then sped up slightly as it splashed over a small waterfall 20-yards downstream. For the most part, the river was between ankle and knee deep, and as I looked across, I could see

many risks that people and their private properties assume when they consider living in a specific geographic location. This is true for the residents of Howard County, as they live near the Chesapeake Bay, whose tributaries branch off into smaller rivers, streams and lakes. Due to the fact that Howard County is more developed in the southeast and more rural in the west, there is a correlation between the risk of flooding and the presence of human development. (any cite here?) Natural factors play

Each individual is like a rain drop on the window; none of them are any more significant than another. There are the occasional droplets which are larger than the rest, the ones with a greater influence than the others. As time goes by, a droplet eventually collides with another, and another, and another...until they form a huge puddle and eventually roll away. The result is a chain reaction: the larger rain drops influence others, serving as catalysts in society. However, droplets alone, are fragile

spatial configurations (partially determined by proximity to stream, elevation, and characteristics of the underlying substrate). There appears to be a substantial (s worthy of note that a large, above-ground sewage line ran perpendicularly over the river towards a sewage treatment plant some distance away. There were no signs of leakage or other issues that might compromise or affect the surrounding hydrology of the site. The erosion and sedimentation observed

study of the earth. With that being said it breaks down into the study of land, weather, people, the migration of people, their role in altering nature, and the effect of nature on the people. Today I’m going to write about a piece of the Manistee River that’s near and dear to me. It’s a small plot of land just south of the 45th parallel. The area is Springfield Township in Fife Lake Michigan. This is now my father’s final resting place, which is fitting because it was his favorite place to sit and

Another way that water can be polluted is with chemicals from factories. Factories use water from streams, river, and lakes to power and cool off their machinery. This used water contains many chemicals from the factory processes that are released back into the normal water (Lenntech, 1988-2016). This released water is also warmer, causing the whole body of

natural gas from the reservoir. It's retrievablity lowers the cost of filtering it back along with lowering the need for water and decreasing the size of staging operations needed. It eliminates the need for pits for waste. Furthermore, Restoring Rivers, describes how collaborative efforts and organization may promote restoration projects. Through these efforts the goals of improving water quality, managing riparian vegetation, enhancing in-stream habitats, providing passages for fish, and stabilizing

width of all the samples was represented, the boat moved side to side of the entire channel of as samples of the water surface were collected. To get samples that are representative of the depth, the geologists sampled the upper 0.2 to 2.5m of the river using a three-meter long tube with a diameter of five centimeters. The shores of the Spring Creek were also sampled in order to determine if there was any deposition of heavy metals along the shores (Alpers, Taylor, Domagalski, 2000). The EPA used

that privilege affects your life is apparent. To begin, Aza states, “Mom and I lived on the side that sometimes floods. The Picketts lived on the side with the stone-gabbed walls that forced the rising water our direction,” (Green, 2017, p. 15). This river is like a divisor in between those who are brought into a privileged life, and those who are not. It’s like the rising water is pressure that is being put onto middle and lower class families to try to catch up to the upper class, trying to give their
