Download or read book Texas Aquatic Science written by Rudolph A. Rosen and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classroom resource provides clear, concise scientific information in an understandable and enjoyable way about water and aquatic life. Spanning the hydrologic cycle from rain to watersheds, aquifers to springs, rivers to estuaries, ample illustrations promote understanding of important concepts and clarify major ideas. Aquatic science is covered comprehensively, with relevant principles of chemistry, physics, geology, geography, ecology, and biology included throughout the text. Emphasizing water sustainability and conservation, the book tells us what we can do personally to conserve for the future and presents job and volunteer opportunities in the hope that some students will pursue careers in aquatic science. Texas Aquatic Science, originally developed as part of a multi-faceted education project for middle and high school students, can also be used at the college level for non-science majors, in the home-school environment, and by anyone who educates kids about nature and water.

This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book will be to demonstrate 1) the newly developed method of using reactive functionalized materials in agriculture to solve the economic and public health problems associated with using conventional agrochemicals; and 2) new technology aimed at achieving the greening of chemistry to meet appropriate environmental standards in both agriculture and industrial foodstuffs production. More specifically, the book will accomplish this goal by addressing 3 key issues in the field: 1) the production of reactive functionalized materials with enhanced properties that offer a major opportunity to overcome the disadvantages of using traditional materials; 2) the applications of functionalized materials in agriculture for the purpose of solving the economic and the environmental pollution problems associated with the uses of conventional agrochemicals; and 3) the contribution of polymers in solving problems associated with conventional procedures of food growth and processing, including those used in the dairy industry, sugar and fruit juices, beer and wine production, nutritive and nonnutritive food additives, and in food protection.
Download or read book Rainwater Tank Systems for Urban Water Supply written by Ashok K. Sharma and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rainwater tank systems have been widely adopted across the world to provide a safe local source of water in underdeveloped rural areas, a substitution for mains water for non potable end uses in water stressed urban areas, as well as providing flooding control in monsoonal climates such as Korea, or combined sewer systems such as Germany. The importance of these systems in cities has grown, as water managers seek to provide a range of decentralised solutions to supply constraints of current water supply systems, whilst reducing the impact of urban development on the natural environment, and increasing resilience to the impacts of climate change. Rainwater tank systems are now often implemented under integrated urban water management (IUWM) and water sensitive urban design (WSUD) philosophies, which take a holistic view of the urban water cycle. Rainwater Tank Systems for Urban Water Supply is based on a comprehensive, multi-million dollar research program that was undertaken in South East Queensland (SEQ) Australia in response to the Millennium drought when the water supply level in the regions drinking water dams dropped to 17% in July 2007 and the area came close to running out of water. In particular, the book provides insights and detailed analysis of design, modelling, implementation, operation, energy usage, economics, management, health risk, social perceptions and implications for water quality/quantity of roof water runoff. The approaches and methodologies included in Rainwater Tank Systems for Urban Water Supply inform and validate research programs, and provide insights on the expected performance and potential pitfalls of the adoption of rainwater tanks systems including: actual harvested yield and resulting mains water savings, optimal sizing for rainwater storages and roof collection systems, expected water quality and implications for managing public health risks, modelling tools available for decision support, operation and management approaches of a decentralised asset at the household scale and community acceptance. The book is suitable for use at undergraduate and post graduate levels and is of particular interest to water professionals across the globe, who are involved in the strategic water planning for a town, city or a region. It is a valuable resource for developers, civil designers, water planners, architects and plumbers seeking to implement sustainable water servicing approaches for residential, industrial and commercial developments.

Download or read book Rainfall Water Supply Waterways of the United States Classic Reprint written by Henry Wayland Hill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rainfall, Water Supply, Waterways of the United States When water is made to flow through a layer of sodium permutit, the latter exchanges its soda for the calcium and magnesium salts of the water and the degree of hardness in the latter is reduced to zero. The permutit has to be regenerated as it grows lax in action. This is easily accomplished by washing it for a few hours with a solution of common salt. Man ganese permutit in connection with marble dust removes all iron and acids from waters thus affected. The practice of softening the entire water supply of a municipality has grown steadily and in not a few large manufacturing cities the municipal softening plant is saving the citi zens hundreds of thousands of tons of coal per annum and adding years of life to the community's boilers. The principal require ments are (1) mixing chambers, in which the softening chemicals are thoroughly mixed with the water; (2) capacious settling basins suffi cient to give the necessary time for the slower reactions when the temperature is low, as in winter; (3) a device for adding a coagulant (alum or ferrous sulphate) at both the en trance port and the exit port of the water into and from the settling basins, (4) substantial mechanical filters. In addition, as one of the requisites should be a special apparatus to slake the lime, reduce it to a proper emulsion and feed it in proper quantity automatically into the flowing water. At the municipal water softening plant at Cleveland, Ohio, 000 gallons of water per day require the daily application of 40 tons of quicklime. This is slaked with hot water, mixed into an emulsion in an agitator, taken to tanks where it is cooled and diluted to the proper consistency and finally pumped at a uniform rate into the flowing water.
