any potential harmful environmental effects this has on Port Adelaide, particularly in any increased acidity in the waterways. This investigation is to carry out an experiment to test whether or not bunker fuel will have negative effects on Port Adelaide’s waterway acidity, by taking water samples from the Port Adelaide waterway, Bangladesh waterway and the Waterfall Gully waterway to compare the acidity of each. Bangladesh is exposed to a high level of bunker fuel burning, while Waterfall Gully

In the North, their geography was that they had coal and iron from the state Pennsylvania which helped them build factories, it helped the growth of towns and cities. They were built along waterways to developed and take advantage of waterpower like New York, Boston, and Baltimore so the cities can be the center of trade. As farmers in the north, they shipped more of their products by water which helped their cities grow. In the South, their

In order to improve the waterways, the city council held community consultation to understand the needs of the community especially those of women, children and indigenous groups. The council needs to produce regular reports and hold meetings not only with the community but with

of Canada well into the 19th century. One main aspect that allowed these products and industries to flourish was the waterways that both products depended on to be exported and traded. Mackintosh (1923) notes that the important area of Canada, the Atlantic coast, was easily accessible by the first European settlers who took advantage of Canada’s structure, including the waterways, that was one of the most critical elements that allowed the country to develop (p. 13). “That structure shaped the course

important factor to this war was the fight over the Shatt al-Arab waterway. The fight over the waterway goes all the way back into the 7th century. Having said that, Iraq’s leader, Saddam Hussein had large aspirations which included expanding his country, and become the leading nation in the Middle East. Becoming the leading nation in the Middle East required accomplishing the attack on Iran, gaining more oil fields, the Shatt Al Arab (a waterway) and getting more power and land. Furthermore, in the months

water pollution (Manuel, 2014). Nitrogen and phosphorous that originate from agricultural sources, such as manure and inorganic fertilizer, are contributing to nonpoint source pollution of our waterways. Also referred to as nutrient pollution, this issue is created by the runoff of excess nutrients into waterways and the effects of this can reach hundreds or even thousands of miles

algal blooms. At the moment the most that are being done on carp is a ban on releasing them back in the waterway, however, many people are working on an alternative. One of these alternatives is the release of a ‘carp herpesvirus’ this acts as a biological agent introduced to the waterway, wiping out large majorities of carp in one swift go. However, there are issues with this once in the waterway it cannot be removed and carp may develop resistance and there would have to be a massive clean-up undertaken

The trails used by park visitors riding horses exceed 250 miles in length and include over 80 regularly used water crossings. Erosion along the trails and at the water crossings are placing a large amount of silt and other pollutants into the waterways. This has increased the turbidity of the water in many areas at times influencing the natural balance of the aquatic environment. Trail use by horses are not the only issue as human and motorized vehicles are also a part of the problem. ATV and bicycle

be an almost limitless form of food have since longed turned against us. They now threaten our waterways, native species, and even people. I am of course talking about the invaders from the east, known as the Asian Carp. This fish alone has been able to change the ecosystem and out eat, out number, and destroy native waterways. And they will continue to do irreversible damage to the United States waterways. The Asian Carp is a freshwater fish and is native to Asia, many coming from the Yangtze river

Introduction - An increase in population and subsequent urbanisation of Sydney’s Northern Beaches has put growing pressure on the surrounding coastal ecosystems. The Manly Dam catchment area encompasses 375 hectares of urban and industrial areas, waterways, bushland and parks (Fig. 1C). This catchment is home to a vast number of native flora and fauna, and is a hub for recreational activity. Preserving the ecological state of this catchment area involves developing and maintaining an effective management
