This song describes memories of youth and the passage of time. It references a "ragged band" that followed each other and had dreams that were taken away as time decayed them. Now older, their eyes still stray to the horizon in search of a place where "the grass was greener" and the nights held wonder, surrounded by friends.

This document shares three personal experiences from the author's life in India. First, during a school vacation in 1975 the bus the author was traveling on had its brakes engaged just in time to avoid falling into a river. Second, in 1994 or 1995 the tourist bus the author's family was traveling in collided with a truck but all passengers escaped safely. Finally, the author faces many life difficulties prior to going into a coma in 2002 from an accident, which caused a "newer reset" of his life.

This document provides an introduction to a book titled "Water Scarcity, Security and Democracy: a Mediterranean Mosaic". It discusses how water has always been a scarce yet vital resource in the Mediterranean region, shaping landscapes and societies. Ancient civilizations in the region centered around rivers, springs, and wells, which played an important cultural and social role. While water was sacred, its scarcity also led to conflicts and was used as a weapon of war. Early laws like Hammurabi's Code aimed to regulate water allocation and prevent theft or negligence. The introduction notes how population growth, climate change, and unsustainable consumption patterns are exacerbating water challenges in the region. It argues sustainable solutions require understanding water's cultural significance and changing social
Flood
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land not normally covered by water. Flooding can occur when a body of water exceeds its normal boundaries, such as a river overflowing its banks, or due to heavy rainfall that causes accumulation of water on saturated ground. While flooding can cause damage, it also provides benefits like replenishing groundwater and making soil more fertile. To mitigate flood risks, defenses like levees and dams are used, and planning includes developing evacuation plans, purchasing flood insurance, and protecting property.

Abbey and Porter both proceeded with the trip “Down The River” with the desire to be around nature. In their journey, their main objective was to flee through that place in silence and find meaning for their same cycle of living life. While thinking, they created the idea of floating down the river on their boats for a couple of days avoiding everyone through the flow of the river. In the text, it states, ”A human shout reaches our ears from the west shore. A man is waving at us from the landing of old Hite’s ferry. A warning? A farewell? He shouts once more but his words are unintelligible. Cheerfully waving back, we drift past him and beyond his ken without the faintest intimation of regret”(Desert Solitaire, page 154). The feeling they had Down the River is something close to bloody murder. In the text, it states “The freedom, for example, to commit murder and get away with it scot-free, with no other burden than the jaunty halo of conscience. I look at my old comrade Newcomb in a new light and feel a wave of love for him; I am not going to kill him and he—I trust—is not going to kill me”(Desert Solitaire, page 155).
Many of their experiences were with their feelings towards the people encountered. They think of life as a set schedule for things to see their wives, job, and other life sources repeatedly even like a burden. In the text he says, “...what incredible shit we put up with most of our lives, the domestic routine same old wife every night, the stupid and useless and degrading jobs, the inseparable arrogance of elected officials, the crafty cheating in the slimy advertising of the businessman…”(Desert Solitaire, page 155). In their way of thinking, as the people on the shore, they are crossing and talking to them from far away, they are forcefully waving back knowing the fact that all of it does not matter and is giving their life no meaning. They say that “I’m thinking, at the same time that I’m waving goodby to that hollering idiot on the shore, what intolerable garbage and what utterly useless crap we bury ourselves in day by day, while patiently enduring at the same time the creeping strangulation of the clean white collar and the rich but modest four-in-hand garrote!)”(Desert Solitaire, page 155). Their goal adjusted to finding themselves and finding meaning through their experience.

Both authors are trying to bring awareness to this Glen Canyon wilderness area that they believe should be preserved. Just as John Muir and the Sierra Club advocated to save Hetch Hetchy. They both are trying to savor the last experience with this wilderness area before it is filled with water to benefit the barren desert regions of our country. "Before Glen Canyon was drowned. Abbey saw part of Glen Canyon but enough to realize that here was an Eden, a portion of the earth's original paradise." (Desert Solitaire p.152) I really appreciated the correlation Abbey made that man had become so civilized he would have ...

T1w1 b Types of flood
There are three main types of floods: coastal floods, river floods, and flash floods. Coastal floods occur in coastal areas from storms, earthquakes, or huge waves. River floods take place in floodplains and along river banks from heavy rain or snow melt. Flash floods can happen anywhere due to short periods of heavy rain, and cause water to exceed the carrying capacity of the land, resulting in overflow onto dry land and flooding. The carrying capacity of an area relates to floods because when too much water is added and exceeds the capacity of a place, flooding will occur.
NC River Basin Scavenger Hunt with responses
The document summarizes responses to questions about river basins and watersheds. It describes how water moves through river basins and watersheds, collecting pollutants as it flows across land and underground.

2023-Impact-of-Tourism-in-Coastal-Areas.pptx
Coastal areas face significant environmental pressures from rapid urbanization and tourism development. Tourism is a major economic activity in many coastal regions but can damage the environment through pollution, overdevelopment of infrastructure, and disturbance of ecosystems and wildlife. Sustainable tourism practices and planning are needed to maximize economic benefits while minimizing harm to the coastal environment.
Floating Wetlands
Louisiana contains many marshes and wetlands that constitute about 40% of the state's landscape, providing important habitat for wildlife. However, Louisiana has experienced a significant amount of wetland loss over recent decades, with around 80% of national wetland loss occurring in the state. Specifically, Louisiana wetlands have declined by 30% just in the past 10 years, which is problematic as the lost wetlands are often converted to open water rather than being restored.
