Water, humans need to drink to survive, our everyday lives depend on it. Rain or Storm, watersheds are nature’s way of clearing excess storm water. Without watersheds our drinking water won’t be preserved. This is horrible! Pollution, one of the common ways that land and water affect each other in a watershed. Without the conservation programs, watersheds would be infected with pollution. Our water supply watersheds wouldn’t be purified/clean. Watersheds help recharge our water supply, helps protect oceans, and provides good habitat for Hawaii. The great benefits of watersheds are very protecting for the Hawaiian Islands and around the world. Watersheds help recharge our water supply and droughts, by collecting rainwater which then flows …show more content…
For fishing by controlling erosion as the roots of trees help to hold soils to keep them from flowing down into oceans and causing horrible damage to coral reefs, fisheries, and swimming areas. Especially in Hawaii, where we are surrounded with many oceans. That already have horrible items such as, plastic, litter, etc. To change this I will continue to do my monthly volunteer for beach clean-ups. Watersheds, provides habitat for Hawaii’s unique plants and animals, supplies cultural plants to continue traditions. Hawaii has many unique plants and animals that aren 't found anywhere else in the world. Keeping our plants and animals safe by reducing their risk of being endangered is important. In Hawaii, our culture defines us. We dance hula, water is needed to supply the clothing materials needed for hula. Keeping the island water clean and harm free is very important. Without watersheds the water that living organisms need won’t be purified and clean. Drinking water is very important for humans, humans won’t survive without water. So, as people who can make a change for the world and start to conserve and preserve water, we can see a great future ahead of us. I believe that learning the science of marine biology will be a great benefit for my future. In Hawaii, there are many valuable resources that we need, including watersheds and saving the coral reefs. I want to be apart of PaCES, because I want to be educated and learn about the marine life. I want to make a change and explore what research can look
Once the Wisconsin Ice Sheet fully melted, the basic dimensions of the lake were fixed. However, the rocks we see today needed to rebound by about 170 m from the weight of the glacier ice. The last ice age gives Blackstone a surface area of about 5.2 km², a volume of 0.1 km³, a mean depth of just over 20 m, a perimeter of nearly 35 km.
Croix River watershed have reflected the importance the river plays in the development of the local economy, as the most populous areas have been located along the lower main stem of the St. Croix” (International Joint Commission Report). The size of the population, structure and distribution are the determining factors of the watershed health. So it is so important that to know about these factors as it influences the development of life and the area around. With the increase in population density along the river , the use of natural resources especially water increases for normal and industrial use. There should be a well established balance between land use, population density and social,economical and industrial development for conserving a healthy
The Atchafalaya River is the third- ranking river on the earth. It’s located in South Louisiana, with its base the gulf coast from the mouth of the Mississippi river almost to Texas, its two sides coming together up near the lock and not including New Orleans or Baton Rouge. The Mississippi river with its sand and stuff has created most of Louisiana and couldn’t have done it by remaining in one channel. If it did then southern Louisiana would be a long peninsula reaching into the Gulf of Mexico. Southern Louisiana is still in its form now because the Mississippi river jumped here and there with an arc bout two hundred miles wide.
The Apalachicola River begins in Georgia with the Chattahoochee River, north of Atlanta. Once the river crosses the Georgia-Florida border and is joined by the Flint River it’s called the Apalachicola River. It contains one of the most diverse, productive, and economically important natural systems in the southeastern United States. The Apalachicola basin provides a home to a great diversity of wildlife species and many endemic plant species.
They saved thousands of acres of land from erosion. They kept farmland from ruining and land from fires and diseases. They decreased soil erosion by laying some topsoil to prevent landslides and mudslides. Another way to decrease soil erosion
(CNN)Children and infants made up almost a quarter of those injured when a car crashed into crowds at the Oklahoma State University parade Saturday, killing four people including a 2-year-old, Stillwater police said. The car's driver has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Three adults were pronounced dead at the scene, while the fourth victim, the young boy, died from his injuries at OU Medical Center Children's Hospital, according to a Stillwater Police Department statement. Police named the adult victims Sunday as 23-year-old Nakita Prabhakar of Edmond and 65-year-old Stillwater residents Bonnie Jean Stone and Marvin Lyle Stone.
Try to find homes for everyone, maybe have natural home, so you wouldn’t have to cut down trees. Planting double the amount of trees we cut. This is so that there will be more trees as we cut the wood. Try to lower the crime rate. We can try to adjust some of the laws.
If people start to clean up after themselves when participating in their recreational activities, the environment will stay healthy. As well as the biodiversity of wildlife. Biodiversity is helpful to the environment here just as it is around the world. Without biodiversity, there would only be one animal in the environment, causing the animal to live of the land and its own species. The animal would most likely, if an omnivore, would only eat a few plants and not all.
1. Introduction Conservation of natural resources in The Black Hills and The Badlands is of extreme importance. Without the conservation of natural resources The Black Hills and The Badlands would cease to exist. Without The Black Hills and The Badlands South Dakota’s economy would be in trouble because tourism is one of South Dakota’s largest industry (“Travel South Dakota”).
The Monroe County and Petaluma Watershed are different in ways that which affect the health of the watershed. Pollution, location, and use are all important aspects to consider when observing watersheds. The pollution and location will affect the health of the watershed and the nature around it. This affects what the watershed is used for like biodiversity and general water uses. Watersheds are important to nature and are a very big water source.
In Cleveland, Ohio there was a fire that occurred on June 22, 1969, around 12pm on the Cuyahoga river. People called it the “burning river”. The river caught on fire because there were floating pieces of debris that was slicked with oil. The debris ignited by sparks that came from a train that was passing over the river. The reason it happened is from years of people dumping pollution into the river.
“The Sacred Headwaters is a subalpine basin in northern British Columbia, Canada” (Wikipedia). The Sacred Headwater is ecologically important for several reasons. To begin with, the region has three wild salmon rivers. It also contains many other wild species such as grizzly bears and stone sheep (Wikipedia). More importantly, “The Sacred Headwaters is rich in mineral and energy resources, particularly coal and coalbed methane”(Wikipedia).
In the year of 1890 many historical events happened. Which is why 1890 is called a watershed year. In the year of 1890 United States faced many changes with trying to expand their nation and created an empire Three of the many historical events that happen in 1890 was the Oklahoma Land Rush, The Wounded Knee Massacre, and Imperialism. Now to explain, the Oklahoma Land Rush. In the 1880’s Oklahoma was Indian territory, but in the year of 1889, the federal government opened this land for settlers.
Oklahoma lots of history with different ways of life with their history and their different foods. Oklahoma has a long narrow strip in the northwest it is called the panhandle it goes on for one hundred sixity seven miles the distance width of the state thirty four miles. The red river is very important for Oklahoma the history of the red river is that it runs through the southern border with Texas using it as trade. The food they have in Oklahoma might be different from you eat.
In the Hoh tribe, there are many recreational activities the Hoh do for fun. This tribe in particular is very involved with the protection of the watershed. The main reasoning of this was to protect wildlife, but the people also did it for enjoyment, too. Native American tribes are known for canoeing and fishing, and this is exactly what they use the watershed for.
