Where is the Water Running Allison Kerley Columbia Southern University Abstract Originally the idea was to incorporate the running river water into a pool. One that could be used to store water for use at a later date also serves a multitude of other functions. One of the most commonly talked about dams in the United States is the Hoover Dam. While it served its purpose when it was first constructed what are the impacts upon the environment now? How does pooling and pulling water during a severe

Sustainable material －POROUS PAVEMENT -- OPEN-JOINED PAVING BLOCKS Introduction: This essay will focus on the application of open-joined paving blocks to minimize the impact of urban development on natural drainage system-capturing‚ slowing and absorbing storm water in the urban condition. In the natural system‚ 10% surface flow‚30% evapotranspiration‚ 40% infiltration‚ 20% interflow‚ while in an urban condition‚ 75% surface flow to pipes‚ 15% evapotranspiration

General • The Rational Formula is one of the most frequently used urban hydrology methods in Malaysia. It gives satisfactory results for small catchments only • The formula is: C . y It . A Qy = 360 where‚ Qy = y year ARI peak flow (m3/s) C= dimensionless runoff coefficient yI t = y year ARI average rainfall intensity over time of concentration‚ tc ‚ (mm/hr) A= drainage area (ha) Or Q=CiA i = average rainfall intensity (in/hr)equals to tc A = catchment area

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF DAMS ON THE ENVIRONMENT The human being has been struggling in order to shape the ecosphere in a man- ner he wants since the first day. The period in which this struggle was observed most intensively was the period covering the transition from a migrant and primitive hunter society to a resident life and fa rming. The most deep-seated environmental modification against the nature that had been realized in the history of the human being has started at this time. Even

1 Land Subsidence: Causes‚ Detection‚ and the Wilmington Oil Field‚ Long Beach Land subsidence is a major predicament in many areas of the United State and occurs for many reasons. Land subsidence is the gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth’s surface owing to subsurface movement of earth materials‚ usually with little or no horizontal movement (Galloway et al.). Subsidence hazards involve either the sudden collapse of the ground to form a depression or the slow subsidence or compaction
