Critical Analysis of Literature Review Reduction Technique of Water Evaporation Introduction When water evaporates from water storages it becomes a major issue that affects regions of agriculture in most lands leading to annual loss exceeding potentially to 40 precent and more of water storage. This water which is lost leads to reduction of productivity in agriculture affecting the environment adversely. Literature review has been developed on the same by various researchers

Overview of water resources in Pakistan The total land area of Pakistan is approximately 310‚322 square miles or 88 million hectares of land‚ of which approximately 20 million heaters are used for agriculture purposes. The river system of Indus and its tributaries provides Pakistan some of the most fertile land in the Indian subcontinent. Under the Indus Water Basin Treaty of 1960 three eastern rivers namely: Sutlej‚ Beas and Ravi were allocated to India for its exclusive use. The Treaty gives

importance of water in Biological Systems Much of the Earths surface is comprised of water‚ as well as much of biological systems; for instance‚ the human body consists of approximately 70% of water‚ and in other biological organisms this figure could even be 95%. This largely relies on the bonding of water‚ whereby two hydrogen atoms bond to one oxygen atom; hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force due to its high polarity. Hence‚ what is the biological importance of water? Water as a

Water: An Overlooked Essential Nutrient | Presented by: Your Name | Today I am discussing the importance of water to encourage this office to provide water as the main beverage choice in this office. Water maintains body temperature‚ maintains blood volume‚ blood pressure and supports all cell functions. (Cherif‚ et al.‚ 2010)Water is a valuable resource even in an office environment.

pressure. Water is considered a macronutrient. This macronutrient maintains our fluid balance and also the water that goes out of us is needs to be replaced by a certain intake taken back into the body. Water replenishes our bodies and also keeps our joints moisture and smooth. We are to drink water to survive because our bodies are made up of a certain percentage of water; therefore‚ we need water to live. When we sweat‚ our bodies loses a lot of water and we have to replenish our bodies with water so

Tri-State Water Wars | The Issues of the Tri-State Water Wars | Almost for twenty tears‚ Georgia‚ Alabama and Florida have been fighting over the amount of water in Apalachicola Chattahoochee Flint and the Alabama Coosa Tallapoosa (ACT) river basin that passes through their borders. Georgia wants plenty of water for metro Atlanta so they can keep growing. The downstream users Alabama and Florida wants enough water flowing for their own economic goods. But none of these state wants to stop fighting

Water Conservation Tips Illustration by Robert Zimmerman Toilets‚ Taps‚ Showers‚ Laundry‚ and Dishes * 1994 was the year that federally mandated low-flow showerheads‚ faucets‚ and toilets started to appear on the scene in significant numbers. * On average‚ 10 gallons per day of your water footprint (or 14% of your indoor use) is lost to leaks. Short of installing new water-efficient fixtures‚ one of the easiest‚ most effective ways to cut your footprint is by repairing leaky faucets and

diffusion - where water diffuses through a membrane which has different concentrations on either side. Permeable means "allows anything to pass through". Membranes in cells allow small molecules (water) to pass through‚ but prevent bigger ones from passing. This is called "selectively permeable". Take a look at the following animation; If a selectively permeable membrane separates the two solutions‚ water moves through it in both directions at the same time. However‚ more water leaves a dilute

In this lab we tested the purity of water by looking for the chemicals free chlorine‚ chloride‚ sulfate‚ nitrate‚ copper‚ total hardness‚ iron‚ hydrogen sulfide‚ lead‚ pesticides‚ pH‚ total alkalinity‚ and total chlorine inside a water sample. The chemicals that produced a 0.0 result meant that there was no trace of that chemical inside the sample. The chemicals not found were copper‚ hydrogen sulfide‚ free chlorine‚ lead‚ iron‚ pesticide‚ and total chlorine. As a class we found the results of
