Introduction
Coal seam gas (CSG) is the major contributor for future fuel demand. New emerging technology called fracking is way for exploring new era of petroleum resources.
Better and cheaper than conventional method
Methods are clear but chemicals are used are still not well documented.
Fracking not only related to petroleum industry but also related to Water resource, ecology including marine ecology, health sector, air quality, and agricultural sector
Requires a joint management approach for any decision making about fracking
3
Background of Fracking
Fracking also known as hydraulic fracturing is a method for extracting unconventional gas from deep shale bed using high pressure water to make crack into petroleum bearing formations. Known as shale gas
Labelled as “clean” alternative to coal (Moore, 2013)
Pros
Alternative source of fuel
Low cost
More job opportunity
Cons
Requires huge amount of water
Contamination of ground water
Lose of potential aquifer
Can trigger earthquake

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.

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.

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2. 4 BASIC TIPS ON WRITING A DEFINITION ESSAY
ON ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Choose an extensive topic in order to satisfy the size requirements for
this type of assignment.
Don’t miss out on relevant details and remain on-point with your story

Refrain from going into details which are overly obvious to your reader
only for the sake of helping the word count.
Be thorough in defining the key aspects of your designated subject
when concluding your paper.

The environmental studies are always done in regards to scientific
criteria defined and varied by the specific state. The assessment of the
same environmental data can vary from state to state.
In certain cases, environmental science is threatened to assuming
self-protecting agendas for sake expanding the specific cause, the
teams of workers and funding of certain initiatives.
Environmental science can create additional expenditure to implement
safe and efficient regulations to help the ecology. For this reason,
certain studies may fall in conflict with specific industries and some
cases stifle their progress.
Environmental science is the discipline that tackles the matters of our
habitat and the kind of shifts happening herein.
Environmental science merges with chemistry, geology, zoology,
physics etc. They play their part in having an impact on our
environment.

.
The issue of unequal consumption of natural resources is raised through the
discipline of Environmental Science. Natural resources are consumed heavily
in the developed world and resources often are wasted in the developing
countries.
According to the United Nations, water is a basic human right and can’t be
considered an ‘economic commodity.' However, Environmental Science has
led us to believe that the consumption pattern of water is increasing
exponentially and it might harm the economies greatly.
Air pollution is one of the biggest contemporary issues that environmental
scientists have been trying to overcome. It stays unavoidable due to marine
aerosols, biogenic sources, and volcanic emissions.
One of the biggest threats to the environment is radioactivity. Environmental
scientists all over the world have been trying to curb issues caused by
practices such as mining of radioactive ores, radioactive materials in power
plants, radioactive isotopes used in medical facilities, nuclear waste from
industrial reactors etc.
Environmental Science has made it possible for us to study the decline in
groundwater. Population levels have been increasing significantly while daily
fresh water demand has increased by 3800 cubic kilometers.
