Examining the Effects of Climate Change on Water Quality in Greeley, Colorado William Radmacher Lab Partners: Jake Hooker, Davitia James, Mikayla Young Date: 9/23/2017 Abstract Climate change has an effect on water quality as a function of aridity on erosion, fire variables, and flood intensity. The conjunction of these factors lead to increased sediment in water sources for Greeley, Colorado. This research is an attempt to establish baseline and flood discharge rates in the context of climate

Water scarcity is becoming a common phenomenon as almost 20% of world’s population live in scarcity. Middle East and North Africa countries (MENA)—the most water stressed region of the world is continually faced with a challenge of freshwater availability. Characterized by low annual rainfall, there has been a growing need for exploring unconventional water sources—one of which is seawater desalination. Desalination, a process of extracting freshwater from seawater is energy intensive and comes with

1. INTRODUCTION Water is one of the most essential elements in life. Millions of individuals around the world are facing water complications and are struggle to keep safe water for their daily basic needs. An access to water and sanitation is essential to achieve one of the Millennium Development Goals, include poverty improvement, hunger and lack of nutrition which results in lower rate of child mortality, increase gender equality and providing more chance for education and ensure environmental

Throughout history, water has eternally served a salient purpose in keeping all forms of life alive to this day. However, water 's sustenance seems to have been appreciated more in past ages than it is currently. If you were to ask someone about the roles that water plays in our lives today, they would most likely say that it keeps us hydrated, our bodies clean, and our plants watered. It may seem that facile, but little do many people know about the numerous, distinct ways that water succors us in our

A Basic Necessity Introduction The amount of available fresh water is very limited in Benin, Africa. Much of this is a result of under urbanization, at one end of the spectrum, and poor government and infrastructure, at the other end. The population of Benin is roughly 10,160,556. It is estimated that each individual produces about 77 pounds of excrement and 132 gallons of urine a year (George 2008). This is “waste” that is typically flushed down a toilet and into a sewer system. However, this is

Water is a "polar" molecule, meaning that there is an uneven distribution of electron density. Water is a hydrogen bonding compound as it has a partially negative charge near the oxygen atom due the unshared pairs of electrons and has a partially positive charge near the hydrogen atoms; it is because of these “polar bonds” that contribute to water’s many properties. Water is generally is referred to as a universal solvent because more substances dissolve in water than any other chemical due to the

osmosis will also increase. When distilled water is placed in a dialysis bag acting as a semipermeable membrane and placed into distilled water there should be no weight change because the concentration is balanced both inside and outside the bag. When a solution if 15%, 30% sucrose in a dialysis bag and that bag is placed into distilled water it should gain weight because the water will diffuse from a high concertation to a low concertation. But when distilled water is placed in a solution of 30% sucrose

effort to increase food production, scientists are testing novel methods of increasing plant growth. A technology of interest is ozonated water. Ozonated water is infusing more oxygen into water. Infusing oxygen into water is accomplished by using a machine called an ozonator which adds more oxygen into water. The theory behind ozonated water is that ozonated water provides oxygen to the root of the plant.“Ozone improves the respiratory process [of the plant] at the cellular level,”(Oz-air.). Further

Every time I go to the beach, the ocean is always so peaceful and relaxing, but it is not always like that. The ocean actually has gigantic storms and hurricanes plaguing its water all the time. Many people have had the unfortunate experience of getting stuck up in one of these storms, including the two fishermen Andy and Roger, whose lives were changed horrifically when they embarked on their fishing trip on this day. These two had a poorly painted red fishing boat with a black pinstripe that
