This document discusses water pollution. It begins by explaining the importance of water and how rain is the major source of pure water. However, as rain reaches the earth's surface and bodies of water, it can become polluted by dissolving harmful gases, dust, smoke particles and germs. Further pollution occurs from human activities like bathing, washing, dumping domestic and industrial waste, and chemicals from farms and factories. This reduces oxygen in the water and can infect and kill aquatic plants and animals. Polluted water used for drinking or irrigation can spread diseases. Steps are outlined to prevent water pollution from various sources and raise awareness that it is everyone's responsibility to keep the environment clean.
The document discusses the various hardware accessories needed to maintain an aquarium ecosystem. It describes essential accessories like filters, heaters, aerators, and lighting, which work to control water quality and temperature. Filters are further divided into mechanical, chemical, and biological filters that remove waste, alter water chemistry, and support the nitrogen cycle. The document also mentions other common accessories like gravel, plants, air stones, and decorative toys. All of these work together to create suitable habitat conditions for aquatic life.
Water runoff occurs when excess water flows over land picking up contaminants and depositing them into bodies of water. This nonpoint source pollution is now the primary cause of water quality issues in the US, with 40% of surveyed waters considered unsafe. Some solutions to lessen water runoff include using porous paving that absorbs water, installing rain barrels to collect roof runoff, creating rain gardens to filter runoff, and implementing filters of various kinds. Simple individual actions like composting yard waste and sweeping instead of hosing can also help.
Know the reasons for the deteriorating water quality and how KENT water purifiers with advanced technology can help in water purification retaining the essential minerals.
The human body is 70% water and plants cannot survive without it. Water is essential for life and is contained in many foods. However, water pollution from sewage, industries, ships, litter, and acid rain is increasingly threatening water sources like lakes and rivers. Various types of water pollution include nutrients, surface, groundwater, chemical, and oil pollution. Industries release harmful pollutants like asbestos, lead, mercury, oils, and petrochemicals into water. Acid rain is also very damaging to marine life and plants. If not addressed, water pollution can reduce fresh water and cause death, disease, and disruption of food chains.
The document summarizes the sources and treatment process of wastewater. It discusses how wastewater is produced from various household and industrial sources and flows into sewer systems. It then outlines the main steps of wastewater treatment plants, which include screening, grit removal, sedimentation, aeration, and disinfection. Large solids are screened out, while grit and sludge settle in tanks. Aerobic bacteria digest waste in aeration tanks and the clarified water is further treated before being released or used.
This document discusses where bodies of water can be found and their uses. It identifies oceans, rivers, lakes and ponds as bodies of water. Oceans contain saltwater and house many sea creatures like fish, whales and seals. Rivers and lakes contain freshwater that is used by humans and animals for drinking and agriculture. The document also outlines correct uses of water like drinking and hygiene as well as incorrect uses like wasting water when brushing teeth. Tips for conserving water at home include fixing leaks, turning off taps, washing cars with buckets and fixing running toilets.
SOURCE OF DRINKING WATER
TYPES OF DRINKING WATeR
About Water
97% of the water on the Earth is salt water. However, only 3% percent is fresh water; slightly over 2/3 of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.
The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above ground or in the air.
Fresh water is a renewable resource
Surface water
Surface water is water in a river, lake or fresh water wetland. Surface water is naturally replenished by precipitation and naturally lost through discharge to the oceans, evaporation, and sub-surface seepage
Ground Water
Sub-surface water, or groundwater, is fresh water located in the pore space of soil and rocks. It is also water that is flowing within aquifers below the water table
Domestic water is water that can be consumed by animals and people as it is clean and does not transmit diseases. It has a relatively high salt concentration but lower than seawater, and after treatment can be made into drinking water. The hardness of domestic water is determined by the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, and it can come from natural sources, sewers, or consist of wastewater from washing.
The document discusses water sources, types of impurities in water, hardness of water, and methods of water treatment. It defines hardness as the property of water that prevents lather formation with soap due to dissolved calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions. Hardness is classified as temporary (removable by boiling) or permanent. Common sources of water include surface water and groundwater. The document outlines various industrial and domestic disadvantages of hard water and methods for determining water hardness using EDTA titration. It also describes sterilization techniques like boiling, chlorination, and ozonization used to treat water for domestic purposes.
The document discusses pollution of water resources and possible solutions. It notes that water is essential for life but is being wasted and contaminated through various human activities. This poses risks to human health and the environment. The document advocates educating people on sustainable water use and implementing treatment systems to purify industrial and agricultural wastewater before releasing it into rivers and oceans.

The demand of seaweeds nowadays have been increasing. In order to supply the needs, background on seaweeds culture is very important. We must know how to culture seaweeds, handle it with care, the methods to be used, and the environmental factors that may affect the growth of seaweeds.
A marsh is a flooded grassland found near bodies of water like ponds or lakes. There are two main types - saltwater marshes near the ocean and freshwater marshes along ponds and rivers. Marshes are important habitats that support many plant and animal species. However, marshes are threatened by pollution and development. Proposed solutions include clean-up programs where volunteers remove trash from marshes to help restore these important ecosystems.
This paper discusses water runoff and its negative environmental impacts. Water runoff occurs when rainwater flows across surfaces, picking up pollutants. It then empties into bodies of water. Water runoff is a major source of nonpoint source pollution in the US. The paper focuses on solutions individuals can implement to reduce water runoff, such as installing rain barrels, building rain gardens, and using porous paving materials. If more people adopted these solutions, it could significantly lessen the water runoff problem.
Freshwater ecosystems include lakes, ponds, rivers and streams. Lakes are large bodies of freshwater surrounded by land, while ponds are smaller. Lake Baikal contains about one fifth of the world's freshwater. Rivers and streams are moving bodies of freshwater that originate in mountains and flow into oceans. Plants in freshwater ecosystems provide oxygen through photosynthesis and food for animals. Many animals live in freshwater ecosystems, with some adapted to fast moving waters and others to still waters. People rely on freshwater ecosystems for drinking water, energy, transportation, recreation and jobs like fishing.
Seagrasses provide shelter and nutrients that are essential for many marine species. Young tiger prawns and small fish rely on seagrass beds for shelter as they grow. Seagrasses also stabilize sediment and cycle nutrients by decomposing leaf fragments that provide food for other organisms like crabs and worms. However, human activities like pollution, dredging, and boat damage can negatively impact seagrass beds and the species that depend on them.
The document discusses various ways that the area around Ft. Lauderdale pollutes the ocean. Specifically, it notes that ships leaving the busy Ft. Lauderdale Boat port sometimes leave behind oil that pollutes the water. It also discusses how human trash and sewage can harm ocean life by depleting oxygen levels and creating "dead zones". However, it proposes that individuals and community groups can help protect the ocean through clean-up efforts and responsible waste disposal.
Freshwater biomes include lakes, ponds, rivers and streams. They provide many benefits to humans like drinking water, transportation, recreation and jobs. Rivers originate in mountains and flow into oceans, carrying plants and animals. Many species live in freshwater ecosystems, some relying on moving water. To help these biomes, people should conserve water, avoid pollution, and get involved in conservation efforts.
There are several types of aquatic ecosystems including freshwater ecosystems like lakes, rivers, and wetlands as well as marine ecosystems. Aquatic ecosystems are important as they support biodiversity, provide breeding grounds, act as buffer systems, and are part of the water cycle. They can be altered by both natural processes like succession over time as well as human impacts like water pollution, excessive fertilizer use, industrial waste, and other forms of waste disposal.

Water pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems as life depends on water but many sources are now contaminated. While there is plenty of water on Earth, much of it is not drinkable due to pollution from factories, plants, and dumping of industrial and nuclear waste into rivers, lakes, and oceans. This pollution reduces oxygen in the water, killing fish and other aquatic animals and forcing others from their habitats. To survive, people must solve this growing problem of contaminated water sources quickly in order to have access to the clean water necessary for health.
Water ecosystems can be divided into saltwater and freshwater. Saltwater ecosystems include oceans, seas and some lakes, and contain animals like fish, sharks, whales and penguins. Freshwater ecosystems contain very little salt and include rivers, streams, lakes and ponds, and are home to animals such as trout, otters, bullfrogs and turtles. In both saltwater and freshwater ecosystems, plants and animals are typically found in shallow, sunlit areas near the surface.
The document discusses challenges facing coastal urban waterfronts due to rising sea levels and pollution. It proposes using artificial reefs and mussel farms to improve water quality in Malmo's harbors and mitigate some effects of climate change. Reefs and farms could increase biodiversity, filter pollutants, and help control erosion. The document advocates applying the same focus on enhancing marine environments that cities have for green spaces on land.
Water pollution happens when toxic substances enter water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and so on, getting dissolved in them, lying suspended in the water or depositing on the bed. This degrades the quality of water.
This document discusses the key components of streams and rivers, including stream banks, main channels, floodplains, and riparian buffers. It describes pools and riffles as two types of ecosystems in rivers and streams, noting that riffles usually have more organisms living in them due to higher oxygen levels. The document defines macroinvertebrates as small organisms without backbones that can be seen without a microscope, and explains how they are used to measure the health of streams.
This document provides information on managing farm ponds for fishing. It discusses the importance of proper pond construction, watershed management, fish removal, liming, fertilization, and species selection. Key points include enhancing plankton populations through fertilization to increase oxygen and food availability for fish, maintaining a balance of predator and prey populations through harvesting, and controlling weeds and preventing fish kills. Farm ponds require ongoing management to provide productive recreational fishing.
This document summarizes freshwater and marine ecosystems. It discusses the key features and threats to various ecosystems, including lakes/ponds, wetlands, rivers, estuaries, coral reefs, the ocean, and polar regions. The main types of freshwater ecosystems described are lakes/ponds, which have littoral, open water, and benthic zones, and wetlands like marshes and swamps. Threats to these ecosystems include pollution from industry, agriculture, and development. Marine ecosystems discussed include estuaries where fresh and saltwater mix, coral reefs built by polyps in warm tropical seas, the ocean with its depths lacking light, and polar regions relying on phytoplankton
The document summarizes the key lessons from Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ambassadors of the Environment program about coral reef ecosystems. It uses the metaphor of a "City Under the Sea" to explain how coral reefs function similarly to human cities, with different organisms fulfilling important roles like construction, cleaning, farming, and waste management. The four principles discussed are: 1) Everything runs on energy, with corals and algae serving as the primary producers generating energy from sunlight. 2) There is no waste in nature, with organisms recycling materials. 3) Biodiversity is important for ecosystem function. 4) Everything is connected, with many relationships between reef organisms. Examples are provided to illustrate each principle. The document stresses

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
2. Lakes offer a place of comfort for those who want to
take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. This
body of water does a great job in reflecting the beauty
of nature, and it provides a great view for those who
want to enjoy the sunrise and the sunset. It’s also an
excellent venue for human activities such as
swimming, fishing, and boating. The only problem with
lakes or ponds is that it’s also where aquatic plants
grow.
3. Wanted and Unwanted Aquatic Plants
Now before you go off chopping every single aquatic
plant you see, you should know that not all aquatic
plants are unwanted. These plants provide shelter and
food for both aquatic and semi-aquatic animals so you
need to think twice before removing all of them.
4. Wanted and Unwanted Aquatic Plants
Aquatic Plants also make great subjects for
photographs because of their attractive colors,
especially when they’re placed beside each other.
The only time that these aquatic plants become
unwanted is when there’s too many of them in the
pond or the lake.
When they form miniature islands and when they
hinder human activities because they’ve covered
more than 70% of the lake and when you get
tangled in their roots.
5. Weed Removal
Private owners of lakes and ponds have different weed
cutting methods:
o Some try to stick to traditional weed removal methods
like harvesting, where they pull out unwanted aquatic
plants such as hydrilla, cattail, water hyacinth, cattail,
lily pads, and weeds one by one.
o This would have been an ideal weed cutting method
since it does not make use of chemicals, but it takes
an awfully long time to get the job done since it’s
labor intensive and it becomes difficult to remove
weed from the deep portions of the lake.
6. Weed Removal
Aquatic herbicides present a faster solution, but since
it contains chemicals that also kills other living
organisms in the lake, it was immediately dismissed
as an option. All hope would have been lost for lake
and pond owners but the universe conspired and
created equipment that makes weed control for lakes
a piece of cake.
7. Jenson Lake Mower
Jenson Technologies Development Corporation from San
Marcos, Texas, noticed the problems that lake or pond
owners have. To provide solutions to these issues, they
came up with the Jenson Lake Mower and the Jenson Rake
– weed control machines that can effectively get rid of
unwanted aquatic plants in a short span of time.
8. Jenson Lake Mower
Jenson Lake Mower and Jenson Rake both can be
attached to the edge of a boat, giving anybody the freedom
to move around the lake and enjoy the view as the Jenson
Lake Mower cuts weed underwater. It reaches down to the
deep parts of the lake, making it impossible for these
weeds to come back again next season.
Since the effects are long lasting despite the absence of
chemicals, it’s become an instant favorite of lake owners
from different parts of the world. It’s effective in removing
weeds, making human activities in the lake enjoyable
again.
