This followed with an invocation and the pledge of allegiance. Before the invocation Aubrey Stanley spoke of two tragedies involving deaths as of late to keep in our prayers

ultimately impacts global warming (Grimm et al‚ 2008). Urban heat island effect is also strongly impacted by stormwater runoff due to the extension of impervious surfaces. In contrast‚ houses in outer regions are assumed to reduce environmental damage due to having individual gardens. These gardens can significantly decrease the effect of urban heating while absorbing more rainwater to decrease stormwater flow. According to one study by Burchell and Listokin (1996) contended that high-density due to residential

FLOOD A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land which is usually dry.[1] The European Union (EU) Floods Directive defines a flood as a covering by water of land not normally covered by water.[2] In the sense of "flowing water"‚ the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may occur as an overflow of water from water bodies‚ such as a river or lake‚ in which the water overtops or breaks levees‚ resulting in some of that water escaping its usual boundaries‚[3] or it may

Wastewater and stormwater cause the release of metals into the water supply‚ resulting in toxicity. Many of these metals‚ iron and magnesium in specific‚ can reach toxic concentrations that result in a loss of nutrient uptake in aquatic vegetation. Over time‚ heavy metals saturate wetlands and are consumed by wildlife‚ causing deformities‚ cancers‚ and even death in both aquatic and terrestrial animals. Stormwater leads to algal blooms‚ which deplete oxygen levels
