HOW NORTH CAROLINA IS EFFECTED ECONOMICALLY BY WATER POLLUTION About 80% of the State’s surveyed freshwater rivers and streams have good water quality that fully supports aquatic life uses‚ 17% have fair water quality that partially supports aquatic life uses‚ and 3% have poor water quality that does not support aquatic life uses. Ten percent of the surveyed rivers do not fully support swimming. The major sources of impairment are agriculture (responsible for 53% of the impaired river

LAB Report #3 Introduction: In this lab we have focus on Isolation of bacteria from environment. Microorganisms are found throughout the environment: in the air and water; on the surface of any object such as clothes‚ walls‚ furniture; in soil and dust; and on and in our own bodies (skin and mucous membranes). In order to demonstrate the ubiquity and diversity of microbes in the environment‚ samples from immediate areas of the environment and/or from your body will be obtained and cultured

Kress Fugl Mrs. Baines S5ENA Physics 8/2/15 Lab Report Experiment to measure the latent heat of vaporisation of water Theory Latent heat of vaporisation is when a liquid is heated enough to start boiling‚ at this point‚ even if the source of heat keeps heating the liquid‚ the liquid’s temperature will not rise any further until all of the liquid is converted to gas. For example‚ if water is boiling in a kettle‚ and the kettle is left on whist the water is boiling‚ the water’s temperature will not

Groundwater is an important source of drinking water for more than half of the nation’s population and nearly all its rural population. In recent years‚ widespread reports of bacteria‚ nitrate‚ synthetic organic chemicals and other pollutants in groundwater have increased public concern about the quality of groundwater. What do we know - and what don’t we know - about groundwater quality? What causes groundwater contamination‚ and to what extent are the nation’s groundwater supplies at risk?

Science Lab Report Conclusion Ms. Seaward Jeneé S. White May 16‚ 2015 How Light Refracts Throughout Water My experimental question for my project is: Would light bend at a refractive angle after it propagates through water? The resolution to my experimental question is that light does bend at a refractive angle after it propagates through water. My hypothesis for my project is: I hypothesize that light will bend because of real world examples and experiments. One instance is light refracts

Water Availability and Water Quality Water is the most precious natural resource that exists on our planet. Every living thing needs water in order to survive. If water becomes polluted‚ it loses its value and can become a threat to our health. Although we as humans recognize this fact‚ we disregard it by polluting our rivers‚ lakes‚ and oceans. Water availability has become a great concern in our world today. Out of all the available water on earth‚ only 3 % of it is fresh water. 77% of this
