York River

The Delaware River flows from the Delaware River Basin in the state of New York, creating a natural boundary between Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. The lower boundary of the river is urbanized and the upper boundary is rural with very little industry. If the Delaware River Basin were to be disturbed, many people would be affected. The Delaware River Basin is a major source of drinking water for many in the metro New York City area and houses many species that play an important role in the

Hudson River is the 4th longest river in New York State. The head is located at Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondack Mountains, and the mouth is at the Atlantic Ocean. Because the Hudson River empties into an ocean the water is brackish. That means that the water in the river is a combination of saltwater and freshwater. The Hudson River stretches for 315 miles from north to south through New York State. Between 1947-1977 General Electric (GE) dumped 1.3 million pounds of PCBs in the river polluting

As per an article highlighting Joan Rivers’ prolific death in 2014 by the New York Daily News (NYDN) (2015), Joan’s daughter, Melissa Rivers, has filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit against both the clinic at which her mother was falsely operated upon and the group of physicians who treated her. In her claims, as noted by the NYDN (2015), her 81-year old mother’s death was completely preventable and was due to completely ambiguous, amateur mistakes committed by those who operated upon her. In the

It is evident that every culture is affected by the environment in which said culture evolves. Whether these effects can be observed in the gods differing societies worship, or by the way in which resources are accumulated, the reasons are all the same. How each society and culture interacts with its environment dictates its development and growth. There is no more evident an example of this than the Chesapeake Bay area, pre, mid, and post colonization, using the colony of Jamestown as an model for

or flood plain is an area of land adjacent to a stream or river that stretches from the banks of its channel to the base of the enclosing valley walls and experiences flooding during periods of high discharge. Or in simple words we can say - an area of low-lying ground adjacent to a river, formed mainly of river sediments and subject to flooding. • Flood plains are made by a meander eroding sideways as they travel downstream. When a river breaks its banks and floods, it leaves behind layers of alluvium

lost their economical use. Over 500 dams have been removed from US riverine systems since 2000 and 51 alone in 2013 (American Rivers, 2013). Each dam considered for removal requires a cost-benefit analysis to determine the best possible objectives and plan for removal. Many social, ecological, and economical factors become part of the overall proposal. The fragmented rivers divide many biotic communities and restrict migration for different species and organisms. Many ecosystems suffer from poor

.” All around the world, rivers that are culturally and economically important are being polluted. Three examples of this unfortunate phenomena are the Ganges River in India, the Han River in Korea, and the Hudson River in the United States. Hindus consider the Ganges to be the goddess Ganga personified. They believe that bathing in the river is cleansing, resulting in the forgiveness of sins and salvation. All people, it is believed, should experience this sacred river at least once in their life

the beginning of the nineteenth century, the role of the water in the American society was significant. The countries were seeking measures and instruments that would allow them to expand the existing territory in order to gain more access to the rivers and oceans. In this paper, I will try to explain the importance of water as a viable resource for the American people in colonial America, and the lengths it went to in order to obtain it. In this regard, in 1803, the United States of America entered

proved to be an economic blessing to river cities such as New Orleans (Keene, 264). It greatly changed the idea of upriver travel. The steamboat reduced the journey from New Orleans to Louisville to about a week. Canals also proved to make transporting goods even cheaper and faster. The largest undertaking to build a canal was proposed by the governor of New York. This canal
