2.1 Water 2.2 River Malaysia is divided into two parts, Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia, and are drained by 150 river systems. About 100 of these are in Peninsular Malaysia and 50 in East Malaysia Sabah and Sarawak (Chan et al. 2003). The largest river in Malaysia is Sg. Rajang with the catchment area of 51,000 sq.km while in the peninsular is Sungai Pahang with the catchment of 29,000 sq.km ( Chan et al. 2003). In the world standards, Malaysian rivers are short and steep (Keizrul A.,2002)
outcomes of the industrialization is rising simultaneously. For instance, pollution is a negative outcome produced by the rapid industrialization. We will be mainly investigating on pollution, the effects and causes. In reference(Environmental Pollution | Nakato Lewis - Academia.edu), Pollution is the contaminated of a natural environment that can cause adverse changes to our surroundings, it is the process of making land, water, air or other parts of the environment unsanitary,
Water Works Throughout the article “Water Works”, found in the Orion magazine, Cynthia Barnett describes many topics including pollution and mainly grassroot ideas. Barnett makes me wonder “How can I help the Earth with our water problems?” Barnett states that everything is very dull and gray. From the clouds to the roads to the entire District in general. Although just down the street there was a ten-foot-tall, rain tank that completely stands out because of its bright blue color. As it runs down
studied for This week Written assignment Unit 4 is about “Water’. Every human in The world has a vital impact on the water cycle and, as well as myself. Each day we are using or consuming the resources it really has a significant and influential in into the water cycle. Sometimes We often used resources without thinking much about it. It is simply normal to us, that’s enough of these resources are available to the people. We pretend that Water is simply regularly available to us without limitation.
Water is the only substance which is abundantly available in the earth. Above 71% of earth is covered with water and in human body almost consist of 70% of water. It is an essential constituent of all the animals and vegetables matter and forms about 75% of the matter of earth’s crust. It is only naturally occurring compound that has three forms of matter e.g. solid liquid and gas. Water is distributed forms i.e. rain water and mineral water. Water is the source of life and energy but millions of
The pollution of surface water has brought so much frustration over the past years nationally and globally. Surface water pollution occurs when the quality of water degrade to an extent that it becomes uneasy to use due to the entering of harmful substances into the water systems. When surface water is polluted the environment is affected as a whole. Aquatic species such as plants and fish are threatened by poor water conditions (Botkin, D.B., 2014). Like any other form of pollution surface water
INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Water pollution is a large set of undesirable effects upon water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans and ground water that caused by human activities. This matter requires urgent attention, since water is scarce and such an important resource needs detailed scientific research all over the world in order to sustain and protect the water resource from pollution and for its wise utilization. However, no water in nature is absolutely clean. Even as it rains, the precipitation is
(Jones). The Ganges River basin covers 419,300 square miles and empties into the Bay of Bengal (Lodrick). This river is a fundamental part of the daily life of all those who live on its basin, as well as those living in all of India. Additionally, water plays a very large part in India’s culture and daily life, such as monsoons, which have the ability to dictate the economic prosperity of many people in the country. Along with being one of the most influential land masses in India, the Ganges River
water quality. Due to unscientific way of dumping of solid waste, pollutants are being added to the ground water system through human activities and natural processes. Solid waste from industrial units is being dumped near the factories, which is subjected to reaction with percolating rain water and reaches the groundwater level. The percolating water picks up a large amount of dissolved constituents and reaches the aquifer system and contaminates the groundwater. Ambajogai city has selected in the
to investigate the ability of duckweed (Lemna minor) to remove nitrate pollution from water and thus act as an organic and inexpensive way of combating eutrophication in water sources. Secondly, the relationship between nitrate concentration and rate of removal of nitrates by duckweed shall also be investigated. The duckweed is expected to absorb the nitrates as it grows and therefore lower the levels of nitrates in the water. In addition to this, the higher the concentration of nitrates, the faster
