the leading suppliers of cement in India. The company operates out of Gujarat‚ a state constantly plagued by acute shortage of freshwater sources. Located near the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in the Kodinar Region‚ the ecological balance of the area was of supreme importance as it was a crucial habitat for the fast dwindling Asiatic Lion population. Over withdrawal of freshwater and unregulated usage of land in this region caused a quick depletion of water table and the water salinity levels sky rocketed

cooking‚ bathing‚ cleaning‚ industrial purposes and sanitation. When the demand for water exceeds its supply for an extended period of time‚ scientists refer to the situation as water stress. This serious issue leads to lower quantity and quality of freshwater resources. While most causes are human-related‚ others are uncontrollable. Population Growth * An increase in people means more water usage for bathing‚ washing dishes‚ cooking and other activities. World population tripled in the 1900s‚ resulting

between river environments and ocean environments and are subject to both marine influences‚ such as tides‚ waves‚ and the influx of saline water; and riverine influences‚ such as flows of fresh water and sediment. The inflow of both seawater and freshwater provide high levels of nutrients in both the water column and sediment‚ making estuaries among the most productive natural habitats in the world.[2] An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing

The Algae Island It’s an island made entirely of seaweed‚ full of meerkats and freshwater ponds. It gets even stranger when dead fish rise to the surface of the ponds at night and disappear by morning. At first Pi thinks the island is a delusion‚ “I was getting used to my delusion. To make it last I refrained from putting a strain on it; when the lifeboat nudged the island‚ I did not move‚ only continued to dream.” But Martel spends too long with the island for it to just be a delusion. Pi describes

Introduction: Stickleback are most commonly found in the ocean‚ but can be found in some freshwater lakes. Sticklebacks are noticeable by the presence of isolated spines in the dorsal fin and a number of lateral bony plates known as scutes. Their maximum length is about four inches‚ but few of them are more than three inches long. They mature

Water is a finite resource which means that the total amount of water in the planet is only limited. Its supply remains the same and yet human population recently grows resulting to a decrease of available amount of freshwater per person. The relatively small amount of available freshwater elaborates on how critical it is for everyone to help preserve and maintain clean‚ healthy lakes and streams‚ our sources of water. Water is mostly now being wasted because it is under-priced. We do not realize the

Lake Tai is the country’s third largest freshwater body and has contributed in providing the people in the surrounding communities with both its wealth and their conception of natural beauty. The lake has nurtured many fresh water fish but three different types of fish that has been very popular with local fishermen for wealth (“three whites” describe by local fishermen) white shrimp‚ whitebait and whitefish‚ but also freshwater crustacean.

Canada sells water in containers (no larger than 30 liters) to other countries. There are a lot of advantages to exporting Canadian water in bulk. “Canada has only a half percent of the world’s population but it holds one-fifth of the planet’s freshwater supply” . A big thing to consider is about 7%-9% of the fresh water is renewable‚ this means that even though Canadians have the second highest water usage in the world‚ they still have an excess amount of water left over. This is water that if
