    Evr1001 Research Paper

    “I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes”, W.C. Fields. Now this quote may seem funny now, but the fact that many people are afraid to drink water due to fears of getting sick is no laughing matter. It’s important for individuals to be aware of what they are putting in their bodies and educate themselves on water quality, especially in their area. One factor in particular that seems to have a drastic effect on water quality is the increase of urbanization in areas surrounded by water. This paper will explore the effects of expanding urbanization on drinking water quality. Some background information will also be provided, as well as current work being done to improve drinking water quality and future endeavors.…

    Littering Research Paper

    This is probably the reason why the earth is being polluted with trash. Studies show that people litter because they do not feel responsible for public areas and that people usually litter outside of their neighborhoods where the trash becomes someone else’s problem. One example on how litter can affect the environment is that organic litter can cause water pollution and lead to algal blooms, and cigarettes could also start fires if they are not put out and then discarded in the environment. In Al Gore's speech he talks about how in 7 years the North Polar ice cap might “fall off a cliff.” This might happen in 7 years because of the Northern Hemisphere tilting away from the sun. This happened because of all the pollution and global warming we caused and because of our trash. So, people may argue and say one piece of trash on the ground doesn't really matter and that it’s okay to throw little pieces of trash on the floor but it’s not. Every little piece adds up and still causes damage on the environment. So think next time you're about to throw your candy wrapper in a nearby bush. Think about the consequences of that action and how it will affect the…

    recycled wasted water constract with mineralwater

    There are some important needs paramount for social economical and human survival of which water is an essential resource that people must acquire in order to co-exist in the (biosphere) living environment. It is a well establish fact that all organisms, social environmental activities and manufacturing processes are directly or indirectly dependent on water for production or survival. Consequently, scientists and explorers devote time in seeking appropriate measures to provide people with sufficient portable water supply, but the dilemma between recycled waste water and mineral water becomes (debatable) an issue in particularly on how eco-friendly and safe water is with respect to health implications and the environmental impact. According to Organization for economic co-operation and development (2001), “A water supply system is a system for the collection, transmission, treatment, storage and distribution of water from source to consumers”. In Emirates (UAE) and other gulf countries, water from sea is highly concerted and domestic waste water is reused due scarcity hence eco-friendly water provision is via desalination and recycle which is a…
