(1943) formulated that shelter is a basic requirement of humans. In the future‚ humans will have to construct sustainable shelter otherwise would they would risk depleting resources for subsequent generations. Construction is an example of a multitasking activity. The lifecycle of construction can be broken into phases. Achieving building sustainability in modern environment requires a better understanding of environmental impacts. Impacts such as climate change‚ associated costs‚ as well as utilising

Introduction Deforestation is the process of clearing the forest by cutting down the trees for fulfilling different demands. Forest has a vital role in meeting people’s needs. Therefore people usually cut down the trees of the forest without having proper knowledge. Indeed‚ exploit of land really lend a big helping to grow in economic. For example‚ exploit of land is for wider develop range‚ the lands is use to build households‚ buildings and as we know trees had a very high demand all across

human activity. Deforestation is the destruction of forests and woodlands. The term does not include the removal of industrial forests such as plantations of gums or pines. Deforestation has led to the reduction of forests to four-fifths of their pre-agricultural area. Forests now cover only 21% of the earth’s land surface. The rate at which deforestation is occurring is of great concern. Currently‚ 12 million hectares of forests are cleared annually! Almost all of this deforestation occurs in the

Abstract Deforestation is occurring around the world at an unprecedented pace. It is a vast and widespread phenomenon. Throughout the forests of virtually every continent‚ people are destroying valuable forests either for purposes of living or trade. Housing and urbanization‚ conversion to cropland and pasture‚ and illegal logging are causing rapid deforestation. As a result of deforestation‚ the ecosystem has been loss‚ precipitation also occurs and it increasing the global warming. To overcome

The purpose of accelerated bridge construction is to ensure the project planning‚ procurement‚ and logistics approach are modified to ensure tasks with long lead times‚ traditionally completed onsite‚ are of highest priority and completed using creative solutions. Multiple scenarios require the need for accelerated bridge construction technologies; where a bridge is being constructed or reconstructed over an existing roadway in use‚ where a bridge is being reconstructed or replaced for an existing

DEFORESTATION INTRODUCTION: Deforestation refers to the cutting‚ clearing‚ and removal of rainforest or related ecosystems into less bio-diverse ecosystems such as pasture‚ cropland‚ or plantations. Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms‚ ranches‚ or urban use. Thus‚ deforestation is an important issue to be discussed. It has adverse effects on each living beings’ life. Deforestation has become a huge concern in today’s life as there has been a rise in the decline

increasing population‚ the need for forest products‚ such as‚ fuel‚ timber‚ bamboo grasses etc. increased dramatically for habitation. Hence deforestation becomes a permanent feature of our normal life. The single largest problem faced by the developing world for dwindling in their forest resources is deforestation. Causes of Deforestation: The main cause of the present day crisis is increasing population. Majority of people living in rural areas depend on forest for their firewood for cooking

Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon and its Causes Deforestation is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non rural use. Examples of deforestation consist of conversion of forestland to farms‚ ranches‚ or urban use. Between May 2000 and August 2006‚ Brazil lost nearly 150‚000 square kilometres of forest—an area bigger than Greece—and since 1970‚ more than 600‚000 square kilometres of the Amazon rainforest has been ruined. In quite a lot of tropical

LAND POLLUTION TYPE: DEFORESTATION 1. INTRODUCTION Deforestation: is the removal of trees as well as other plants from forest areas much more quickly than they can be replanted or regenerated naturally. It ’s a trouble due to the parts how the trees must play in stabilising the climate‚ atmospheric composition and soil structure. According to The Environ Facts 8 Feb. 1999‚ deforestation reduces the ability of the land to support life‚ affecting wild species‚ domestic animals‚ agricultural
