Global Warming
I. Introduction a. Attention grabber and greeting
Have you ever jogged to the Han river recently? If you had, you would surely noticed that the fresh smell has turned into a foul one and most importantly, that the clean, sanitary river has been changed into a green tea latte color. b. Introduction to the topic and the brief importance The reason that the river has been changed into this strange color is because of algae problems. There was algae before, but it was not this extreme. This situation is so serious. There was the first algae alert in the Han river. People are thinking that this is going to be a serious problem. c. Focus statement
This is about how this is affecting us and what is happening because of this situation.
II Body a. Who, what, where, what, how did the incident happen?
On 2008, There was the first algae alert in the Han river. After that, the Paldang Lake in Gyeonggi had another alert in July 27. This algae problem is allowing many fish to die, so the food web in the water is falling apart. On Thursday, the algae reached the upper part of the Nakdong river. Experts thinks that if this keeps happening, the water we drink would get less safer for us to drink it. b. Why did it happen?
Environmental groups claim that this situation is caused by the government’s four-rivers mega project because the water flow has turned slower and there was more time for the algae to form. The government claims that it is because of the high temperature and the four river mega project would clean the water. c. Who is the most affected? Why is this important for all of us?
The people who use water by the Han river is most affected because the water is becoming less safer to use the water.
III. Conclusion a. Personal opinion
I think this serious

    In the Ggreat Llakes for example, as people continue to use many hand soaps that contain triclosan and triclocarban in could have harmful effects to an ecosystem , like the chemical triclosan having an acute effect on to aquatic organisms, such as algae, fish and crustaceans (Gao et. al., 2015). They could have harmful effects on many organisms, by disrupting the food chain, as well as creating toxins that contaminate many marine organisms (Pignataro, 2015). The filtered water compositionThey couldan also not have a significant effect on an ecosystem, since the filtered water did not have an effect on the growth of the algae, but there was not a test conducted to see how toxic the algae were. After the growth was conducted for a week. The effect of the filtered water can go either way, with the soap chemicals not having a significant impact on the interactions or health of organisms within an ecosystem, or the soap chemicals having a possible major impact on the interactions of organisms within an ecosystem due to the harmful chemicals contain in the hand soap used. However, scientists should focus attention on pollutants far worse than hand…

    U-High Creek Quality

    The water quality of the U-High creek was excellent because it had pollution sensitive micro-invertebrates. However, not all creeks are this way. One example of humans polluting creeks includes farmers’ pesticides and fertilizers that soak through the ground and travel into the water (Lenntech, 1998-2016). These materials hold a lot of phosphorus and nitrogen which causes a surplus of algae. If this occurs, then the water could turn green (causing a low aesthetic value) and also once it breaks down, its’ bacteria will steal away the dissolved oxygen that the fish need to survive. Another example is the runoff of factory waste (Lenntech, 1998-2016). This waste brings toxins that could kill all the organisms and animals that interact with the…

    This article written by ICMTN Staff refers to the overrun from mining into a river. This river is the source of drinking water and food for many people. Now from this mining spill many people aren’t able to have the plentiful amounts of drinking water. The fish are probably all going to die, since the water is now filled with extremely harmful chemicals. Chemicals that are very harmful to humans, but could be toxic for fish. This is a hard time for the people of this area, and because of that reason, local citizens have declared this event as a natural disaster (ICMTN Staff 1). It’s a disaster to the surrounding wild life, who will die not knowing that the water is contaminated. It’s a disaster for the citizens who can’t fish or drink from this body of water. It’s a disaster for the life that once lived in the…

    Communities in the rural areas of the United States have been majorly impacted and continue to have health problems and loose animals due to this issue, even when the companies say they “fixed the problem” by adding water filters for clean water tanks. With these so called “fixes” people are still having issues with the water being contaminated. The filter solution took a great deal of time to be an option because oil and gas companies have been slow to respond to consumers with complaints.…

    Many tests performed on the river reflect that the water is relatively clean. State officials over Volusia and Seminole counties have noticed that there is the potential for a water shortage in the next couple years due to population increases. If nothing is done, the ground water in this area will run out. A plan is being proposed to use surface water from the St. Johns River to supplement the ground water. State officials believe they can filter the water from the St. Johns of bacteria and use this water for drinking water. (Ann Givens) The fact that the state is considering using the water in the St. Johns for drinking water shows that the water quality is good. If there were severe algal blooms, the state would not consider trying to filter the water. Many tests performed on the river are in response to the paper mills present on the river. There is one mill in particular addressed on Rice Creek outside of Palatka. The waste water from these paper mills is dumped from pipes into the river. Ten years ago these mills were forced to upgrade their equipment due to a toxin being released called Dioxin. Dioxin is chemical that can cause cancer produced by the chlorine reactions in the mill. The older equipment was believed to be allowing this toxin to flow…

    They drew their nitrogen from the air and their phosphorus from a range of human sources-from factories to untreated or poorly treated sewage- which included phosphorus from laundry detergents as well as human waste” (Spotts). As a result of Lake Erie's algae recently producing toxins, the people must take many more precautions. Lake Erie's water is more polluted than ever: “Lake Erie drinking water now often fails to meet World Health Organization standards for safety because of cyanobacteria contamination” (Reeves 43). Lake Erie has been failing safe water tests, meaning it is being contaminated. The theory behind the algae blooms is unknown and there are several ideas: “By the early '90s, algae blooms were rare. Yet cyanobacteria came storming back in the…

    The water quality of the U-high creek was excellent. However, not all water has excellent water quality. There are many ways water can become polluted. Humans play a key role in the pollution of water because water is an easy way to dispose of waste.( Lentech, 2016) For example, farmers use fertilizers to help their crops grow, but when it rains the rainwater takes the chemicals used in fertilizers and transports it into the bodies of water. These fertilizers contain nitrate and phosphate. When the nitrate and phosphate are put into the water, they cause a massive growth of algae, called eutrophication.( Lentech, 2016) The excess algae causes the water to turn green. As a result of eutrophication, there is not enough oxygen in the water. This is because when the algae die, the bacteria that decomposes it, takes up oxygen. With more algae reproducing, there is a greater quantity…
