What are major types of freshwater systems and how have human activi.pdfarjunstores123
What are major types of freshwater systems and how have human activities affected them?
and some examples
Solution
The major types of fresh water systems are
1 lentic: includes slow moving water example pools, ponds and lakes
2. Lotic: fast moving water like rivers and streams
3. Wetlands: these are the areas where the soil is saturated for atleast part of the time
Humans from time immemorial have disrupted or affected fresh water sources
1. Humans have constructed dams and canals that caused fragmentation of large rivers. It
destroys aquatic habitat by reducing water flow.
2. Agricultural run off and industrial effluent causes water pollution. Agricultural run off causes
eutrophication of a water body that further leads to loss of biodiversity
Minimata disease in Japan caused due to mercury poisoining is considered as one of the biggest
examples of water pollution.
3. Inland wetlands are also being drained. For example more than half of inland wetlands in US
in 1600\'s no longer exist..
Lakes and ponds are bodies of relatively still, or standing, water.
Although no definite size distinguishes a lake from a pond, lakes generally are larger and deeper than ponds.
Water enters lakes from streams and rivers, by rain or snow falling on or near the depression, and from groundwater.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2.
3.
4. ORIGIN
The word lumot translates to “moss” in English.
There isn’t any moss in the lake of course. The
name applies to the deep-green color of the lake.
5. ORIGIN
The lake was created when Lumot Dam, an embankment
dam, was constructed damming the Lumot River, creating
an auxiliary water reservoir for Lake Caliraya as part of
the Kalayaan Pumped-Storage Hydroelectric Plant.
6. Lumot Lake, also known as Sierra Lake, is a man-
made water reservoir located in the towns of
and Lumban of Laguna province, in the Sierra
Mountains of the Philippines.
Lumot Lake is an Impounding Reservoir because it
confines untreated water.
WHAT IS LUMOT
LAKE
7. WHAT IS LUMOT
LAKE
As surface water includes the lakes, reservoirs
(human-made lakes), ponds, streams etc., Lumot
Lake consists of freshwater.
8. WHAT IS LUMOT
LAKE
Lumot Lake is less developed than the bigger Lake
Caliraya but both lakes are popular spots for water
sports and largemouth bass fishing.
10. WHAT IS LUMOT
LAKE
The water in Lumot Lake is mostly calm. Around
the middle there’s a weak current, and in the
morning it’s possible to get sweep away.
11. SOIL TEXTURE
Aside from the lake itself, the
islands around it are also
distinct in themselves. The soil
seems to be made of red clay.
Toward the lake it slowly turns
to mud, and soft clumps of it
cling to the feet. Underwater, it
feels smooth and silty.
