MGT3901 Organization Theory Article 1 Chapter One The Butterfly Effect: Managing Your Organization as a System Because most things in life are part of larger systems‚ some seemingly trivial events can have significant impact. For example‚ in 1961‚ mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz took a shortcut in entering data in a weather prediction model. He innocently entered .506 instead of the full numeric value of.506127‚ and the result was a completely different weather prediction

ABSTRACT The quality of pipe borne water supplied by Imo State Water Corporation has been assessed by analyzing samples of water collected from different locations for their physicochemical parameters and bacteriological quality. The observed values were compared with standard values given by the World Health Organization for potable water .The quality of the analyzed water is found fit for human consumption.

The other issue caused by cows trampling through waterways is that the cows push soil into the water which can deprive organisms (such as plankton) in the water from light which could destroy a waterways food cycle. Yet another waterway issue that is linked to dairy farming is when fertilizers and effluent runs off into waterways‚ there is a possibility that there are water catchments on the

Oceanography also called oceanology or marine science‚ is the branch of Earth science that studies the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics‚ including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents‚ waves‚ and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge

Also‚ the result of this is rich plant life which prohibits recreational activities. Plankton blooms depress oxygen levels (as mentioned before) and therefore‚ endanger living organisms. Major sources of nutrients are municipal sewage and agricultural runoff. Toxic Materials: Can affect the health of aquatic organisms and their consumers
