Gather information on the features of you local water supply in terms of: The Catchment Area: Sydney’s water supply is made of 5 main catchments: Warragamba‚ Woronara‚ Hawkesbury Nepean‚ Shoalhaven and Blue Mountains. Warragamba Catchment covers 9‚051km². My local area is Blacktown‚ in an image shown below; all the catchment areas are linked to Warragamba Catchment Area. Possible Sources of Contamination: Water quality in Warragamba catchment is affected by: * Wastes and runoff from

increased and is presenting a much more complex and less controllable problem for us all. Non-point source pollution is caused by run-off. It occurs when water runs over the land picking up pollutants and then flows into our lakes‚ rivers‚ and streams contaminating the water. Since the resulting contamination can’t be seen‚ and the actual point of origin is unknown‚ it’s much more difficult to control and eradicate. In addition‚ most people tend to discount what they are unable to see‚ which means

In this Geography GCSE controlled assessment project‚ I will be focusing on rivers and I have chosen a hypothesis to prove that erosion is making an impact on the Loughton Brook Rivers. My hypothesis is‚ “The river Loughton brook becomes wider and deeper due to erosion as it moves downstream”. I will be investigating if erosion takes place downstream in the river. I will investigate if hydraulic action has an impact. I will study about vertical erosion‚ lateral erosion‚ Cross profile and hydraulic

compare it to a standard river in order to see which anomalies are present that is affected by nature or human activity. Velocity then increases as you go down stream because the cross sectional area increases relative to the wetted perimeter which reduces friction despite the changes in gradient.

Deltas are landform comprised of sediments (sand‚ clay‚ silt‚ gravel) found at the mouth of the river‚ where the river enters a standing body of water (lake‚ pond‚ reservoir‚ or ocean). Herodotus‚ a Greek Historian‚ considered by many as the “Father of History”‚ studied this great geologic feature. He is credited with coining the term “delta” for this is type of landform because of its triangular shape reminded him of the Greek letter Δ (delta). Delta Formation Delta forms when river carrying

as it’s just a tributary‚ the features like interlocking spurs‚ waterfall‚ meanders‚ oxbow lakes‚ deltas and floodplain is less likely to be seen. However basic features about gradient‚ bed load size‚ velocity will have changes as we move down the stream. The gradient should decrease. Also the bed load size should decrease due to continued (vertical + lateral) erosion. The velocity should increase as well. Location It is located in the West Berkshire.

light to deeper waters. The main cause of water pollution are fertilizers and nutrient pollution. Some of the pollutants that are most prevalent in the manure‚ sewage and chemical fertilizers are Nitrates and phosphates. These pollutants run into the streams and rivers causing excessive growth in aquatic plants and algae leading to clogged waterways and dead zones. Another cause of water pollution happens when oil‚ gasoline and additives gets spilled due to a leak in a major oil tanker. This usually gets
