the chlorophyll a criteria. For example‚ reservoirs associated with “run-of-the-river” dams typically have small hydraulic head‚ limited storage area and short retention times and are less likely to be susceptible to conditions that can lead to eutrophication or promote excessive algal growth. In contrast‚ reservoirs associated with larger dams‚ such as storage or hydroelectric dams‚ are more likely to have longer retention times‚ providing a greater potential for incoming nutrients to stimulate increased

American Prairies: Change in Ecosystem Structure and Function Introduction Stretching approximately two million acres of land‚ the North American Prairies cover a large portion of the continent. From Montana to Oklahoma to Colorado and to the provinces of Alberta‚ Manitoba‚ and Saskatchewan in Canada‚ the Great Plains‚ having moderate temperatures and suitable rainfall conditions‚ provide a valuable resource to society. Due to the expanse of land and the varying habitats within the prairies ecosystem

NAME: NABILAH HAMDIAH CLASS: 4K2 In the film that was shown to us by our Biology teacher‚ Miss Fairuz Adlidna‚ there were two different ecosystems that were being displayed‚ a marine one and a tigers’ habitat for the other. Based on my observation‚ I have decided to make a film review on the marine ecosystem. Through a documentary that was based in the United Kingdom‚ “INSIDE LIFE”‚ a young boy called Sam Wigfield was offered the opportunity to be a part of the shooting crew. His job was

Cochabamba in Bolivia is an example of a city that faces increasing environmental problems and health risks due to insufficient sewage system coverage and municipal wastewater treatment. The situation is especially severe in peri-urban fast growing settlements. A decentralized alternative to conventional wastewater treatment plants is constructed wetlands with horizontal subsurface flow (HSF). This treatment method exists in many parts of the world and a few wetlands have been constructed in Cochabamba

2) Water pollution: Water pollution causes due to the introduction of chemical‚ biological and all sort of physical matter into large bodies of water that degrade the quality of life that lives in it and consumes it. We can blame fertilizers‚ pesticides‚ or petroleum derivatives for water pollution. In addition to that the other contributors towards water pollution are Waste treatment facilities‚ mining‚ Pesticides‚ herbicides and fertilizers‚ oil spills‚ refiners‚ Failing septic systems‚ factories
