the intensity of geologic hazard is caused by the trails paths made by s 3. Has the site been officially designated as having preservation value‚ either Natural (open space‚ unique biotic habitat‚ mineral resource‚ etc.) or Cultural (prime agricultural land‚ archaeologic‚ paleontplogic‚ historic‚ etc. )? YES / NO If yes specify the value and whether or not the project can be redesigned to avoid or minimize the loss of the value involved. *YES * Source of info B. Soil Factors

Causes and mechanisms of water resources degradation Logging of forest Logging is the cutting‚ skidding‚ on-site processing‚ and loading of trees or logs onto trucks. Logging and the subsequent denudation of the forest cover increases surface runoff since there is less oppurtunity for rainwater to sink into the ground. .Retarded or supressed infiltration accelerates overland flow production‚hastening delivery of rainwater into streams and rivers‚ the oftentimes the water ends up as floodwater

Dried Papaya Leaves as Organic Mulch for Tomato Plants Abstract Mulching in agricultural provides a safe yet equally profitable method of enriching and fertilizing the soil planted with crops. Most often-used mulches are of organic composition‚ such as dry leaves and barks. Unlike synthetic fertilizers and herbicides‚ these organic mulches pose no or little damage to the soil and crops. In this study‚ the effectiveness of dried papaya leaves as organic mulch for tomato was tested. Papaya mulches

physical causes are‚ the monsoon climate brings very heavy rain and snow‚ and soils are leached and heavy runoff results in soil erosion‚ snow melting results in soil erosion and a rapid increase in river discharge. Moreover some more reasons are because deforestation in head water areas due to increasing population in Nepal and Tibet. Trees cleared for fuel and grazing land ‚ less evaporation more runoff and faster soil corrosion‚ Rivers silt up due to increased soil erosion. This raises the river bed

Locate the roof area or other water-resistant surfaces that will contribute runoff to your rain garden. 2. Use a tape measure to measure the area you are interested in. 3. Once you have estimated the length and width‚ multiply the two measurements to get the area of the water-resistant surface in square feet. 4. Divide this area by 6. This calculation tells you how large the rain garden should be to hold 1” of runoff in a rain garden that is 6” deep. Rain Garden Construction 1. If the yard is

Have you ever had the flu? If you have you know all the symptoms like headaches‚ sore throat‚ dizziness‚ and vomiting. The symptoms are miserable! What if one day you decided to take a nice swim in Lake Erie‚ and a couple hours after swimming these symptoms started occurring? Im sure you would not be happy! In the article “See Striking New Images of Algae Blooms in the Great Lakes” by Mia Tramz (Time Magazine) said‚ “Lake Erie is In danger of dying by suffocation‚ said‚and only we can stop it.”

watering needs at this time‚ they could use collected rainwater to fill and run the fountains. This process would include catching the rainwater runoff from nearby campus buildings‚ storing the runoff in rain barrels‚ and distributing it to the fountains. A major component to the Rainwater Harvesting notion is maximizing the collection of water from surface runoff. Since they would be using the water to fill and run fountains on campus‚ Austin College could utilize the buildings that are closest to the
