The country is mostly made up of plateau with a rim of mountains. The climate is tropical and rainy with two dry seasons. Uganda is positioned in the northeast. Elevation The southern part of Uganda includes a portion of Lake Victoria, which shares with Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda is located on the East African plates, averaging 1,100 meters (3,609 ft) above sea level. Food Security Uganda as significant economic progress over the past decades. GDP growth has increased significantly

Speech Paloma Water covers 70% of our planet, and it is easy to think that it will always be plentiful. However, freshwater, what we drink, bathe in, irrigate our farm fields with makes up only 3% of the world’s water, and two-thirds of that is stored in frozen glaciers or unavailable for our use. Many of the water systems that keep ecosystems thriving and feed a growing human population have become stressed. Rivers, lakes and aquifers are drying up or becoming too polluted to use. Already, 80 countries

centre of the Model Test Basin, surrounding the 600mm deep pit designed to house the LinMot. The LinMot is used throughout the radiation coefficient testing, to oscillate the devices in a heaving and surging condition, removable sections of the mounting plate were required to accommodate for the access and maintenance of the LinMot.

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

age constraints can be applied to the Proterozoic basins on the south Australian island, Tasmania. Zircon minerals occur as a trace component in many sedimentary rocks. Therefore due to its widespread occurrence and its relative resistance to both mechanical and chemical weathering, which enhances its chance of survival through processes of transportation, dating methods through zircon minerals have become a standard for dating sedimentary basins (Black et al).

2. The Queensland floods were part of the La Niña change that was predicted to happen during the season. La Niña is a change in air pressure across the central and eastern tropical Pacific resulting in warmer sea surface temperatures in the north of Australia. Historically, La Niña changes have bought large scale floods and increased risks of tropical cyclones. As expected, this particular La Niña change caused widespread heavy rain in the central and eastern Pacific affecting the North-East of Australia

Environmental Planning in Australia Executive summary In Australia, environment and planning laws are integrally linked and legislation aims to balance the right to use and develop property with the need to preserve and protect environmental quality. An intergenerational report is presented every 5 years which shows the country’s plans for next 40 years to preserve the environment which includes different aspects like land, water, ecosystem etc. and use the resources in a way so that there are

Catchment area. 1. Locate the Catchment and describe the Boundaries and landscape features. The North East Victorian Catchment is rich in Natural Assets – Covering only two million acres it is located in the North Eastern Regions of Victoria. It includes three major river basins: The Upper Murray, Kiewa, King and Ovens. The Murray River forms the boundary for the Northern region, with the Victorian Alps

Australia has substantial identified reserves of CSG occurring in coal basins in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania.
