INDEX Introduction Distribution of Water At Earth Surface Types of Water Bodies Importance of Water Bodies Water Bodies and Pollution Introduction: What are water bodies? Water reservoirs, either natural or manmade are known as water bodies. Different names have given to these different bodies according to their size, properties etc. Moving water such as rivers or streams is also considered in the bodies of water. Numbers of types of water bodies are present in planet earth. About 71%
Water quality is a complex term to evaluate. The health of a water ecosystem depends on so many variables. These parameters are each intertwined and connected. For simplicity there are several mainstream parameters that are used in conjunction with each other to determine the water s quality. These include: alkalinity, ammonia content, carbon dioxide, chlorine, nitrates, dissolved oxygen, phosphates, temperature, and turbidity. The most visible sign of poor water quality is reduced animal populations
with Pilot Chelsey “Sully” Sullenburger and Copilot Jeff Skiles being investigated by the NTSB. In which, I found Sully a wonderful character through his directness and retorts. Hanks first words as Sully was correcting the NTSB agent by saying, “Water landing.” Defending his actions in few words, while watching his eyes dart to whom he is speaking to truly did show a gritty side to Sully. Just after the meeting with the NTSB, he called his wife from the hotel room, seemingly worried about his family
Water is an essential nutrient that our body requires every day. Without water human life cannot be sustained. Water deprivation kills faster than lack of any other nutrient. People do not think of water as a nutrient and don’t realize the important role of water in the body functions. Water facilitates the transportation system of the body. It is the medium by which all the other nutrients and other essential elements are distributed to every part of the body. Water also transports the waste from
elements of own. A garden of Japan has numerous elements like water, rocks, islands, bridges, ponds, teahouse, lanterns, borrowed scenery and plants. The combination of these elements makes the garden alive. Following are the important elements of Japanese gardens: • Waterfall, bridges and ponds: The pond is also known as ike, is one of the basic elements of Japanese garden. It is the representation of river, sea or lake, as it is a water body. The shapes of the artificial ponds are asymmetrical to restore
If the snakehead becomes established in a body of water it can disrupt the ecosystems predator-prey balance. the have been two accounts of stable breeding populations of Snakehead in both Florida and California, where the climate is warm enough for the Snakeheads to thrive once they are there. Individual Snakeheads have been caught all over the United states, including states as Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island and Hawaii. The founding in Hawaii is especially troublesome, since Hawaii is already
Conodoguinet Creek is polluted. Through our testing, we found that the water is not very polluted. We conducted many different types of tests to come to this conclusion. A few of the tests that we conducted were alkalinity, phosphate, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, and discovering creatures in different groups. We looked at the different macroinvertebrates that live in the water. Also, we tested the velocity of the surface water. The Conodoguinet Creek is located in Cumberland County, and is 101 miles
ABSTRACT What is the water quality in Covington Creek, Soos Creek, Jenkins Creek, Jenkins Pond Creek, and Jenkins Pond? Does the water quality meet or exceed the Washington State water quality criteria? Several parameters were sampled at each sample site. The sampled parameters at each creek and pond site were temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, discharge, bank stability, and vegetation plots. Tests for the presence of nitrates and phosphates were also conducted. In addition to these tests
As I looked out the window of the restaurant, I could see the sun bouncing off the sparkling water below. Boats and other water craft scatter the water as well as people on water-skis and inner tubes. The picturesque view makes life seem so much better and just looking at the river makes a person calmer. The scene just described is the view from the window of a restaurant called Sophia in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the corresponding river is the mighty Mississippi. Although Minnesota is the land

After analyzing the poem, the reader is the poem not only describes this conflict, but it also stresses the relationship between a child and their parents. In the beginning, the speaker reveals the conflict between the son and
Water is essential for life, and occupies seventy one percent of the Earth's surface. Saltwater is more abundant in the world. Although, freshwater makes up about two percent of the Earth's surface and is what people drink, saltwater makes up over sixty eight percent of the Earth's surface and is much more compelling than freshwater. Even though, both salt bodies of water and fresh bodies of water are packed with life, mysteries, dangers, uses, and activities, salt bodies of water are more fascinating

not had any water to drink. What happens to your body when it loses water and you are not replenishing it; dehydration. It may not seem like anything too serious but, in some cases, dehydration can actually cause some serious damage to your body, be life threatening and even cause death. The number of Americans that suffer from dehydration is actually quite high; 75 percent are living in a constant state of chronic dehydration. This means that for a substantial period of time their body has been without
“Drinking water is like washing out your insides. The water will cleanse the system, fill you up, decrease your caloric load and improve the function of all your tissues.” – Kevin R. Stone -- Lately, the trend is that nearly everyone carries a water bottle with them and sips all day long. But what does water really do for the body? Is it essential that people gulp down the prescribed “eight glasses of water a day” for optimal health and performance? A growing body of information now points to

In this phase of globalization, due to tremendous increase in the number of industries and pollution caused by them is disturbing the environmental balance. Industries alongside the River Ganga discharge their
concerning sports drinks versus water as the better exercise drink concerns a number of factors, the most important of which is proper hydration. When exercising, the human body loses more water than during normal activity through sweat; this water must be replaced to maintain the body’s health. Water is essential for the proper functioning of the digestive system and absorb a lot of nutrients for our body to function very well and
We've all heard things about alkaline water and how it can do wonders for your body and our health. But the question is: what is alkaline water anyway? Alkaline in alkaline water refers to the water's pH level. The pH level, in turn, is a measure of how acidic or alkaline the water is. Typically, the measuring scale for the acidity or alkalinity of a substance is 0 to 14. If a substance has a pH level of 1, it is said to be very acidic and a substance that has a pH level of 13 would be considered
The Roles of Water in Living Organisms and as an Environment for the Organisms Without water there would be no life on Earth; this is why water is the most important biochemical of all. In "Human Biology" by J.M Orten and O.W. Nevhans, it is suggested that 70% of all body weight is water, most of which is found in three major compartments: 70% intracellular fluid, 20% interstitial fluid (lymph) and 7% blood plasma, and only 3% in other compartments. By volume, nearly a half of each of
