The Marina Barrage is a dam built across the Marina Channel in Singapore that has created the country's 15th and first inner-city reservoir, the Marina Reservoir. The Marina Reservoir augments Singapore's water supply, meeting over 10% of the country's current demand, and is part of an effort to increase Singapore's water catchment area to two-thirds of the country's land area. In addition to boosting water supply, the Marina Barrage acts as a flood control measure for low-lying downtown areas and has become a lifestyle attraction for recreational activities on the reservoir's constant water level.

The Largest Mirror in the World: Uyuni salt lake
The Uyuni Salt Lake of Tunupa, covers 12000 km square, making it the biggest salt lake in the world. It is located 3650 meters up in the mountains of Bolivia, and is considered as one of the seven natural marvels of the world.
After rain when covered with water the salt lake is converted into the largest mirror in the world.
It is comprised of approximately 11 layers of salt of depths varying from 2 to 10 meters. The superficial crust is about 10 meters deep while the maximum depth of the salt lake is 120 meters. The crust is comprised of mushy salt brine when wet.
The salt lake of Uyuni, is estimated to contain 10 thousand million tonnes of salt, of which they extract 25 thousand tonnes each year.

Nearby beaches include Karon Beach, Kata Beach, and Nai Harn Beach, which are less crowded. Surin Beach is known for its luxury resorts like Amanpuri and high-end homes overlooking the Andaman Sea. While not on the beach, Rising Sun Residence in Chalong offers villas in hillside gardens with pools and jacuzzis, suitable for exploring Phuket each day.
Waikato Rive Slideshow
The Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand, running 425 km from Lake Taupo to empty into the Tasman Sea. It has significant cultural importance to the Tainui iwi and is a source of their mana. The river provides hydroelectric power, generating 13% of New Zealand's electricity, and was an important transportation route. However, studies have shown that 75% of bacterial contamination in the river comes from dairy farm runoff, with many farms allowing livestock direct access to streams. While the city of Hamilton also impacts water quality, dairying has been identified as the primary contributor to unacceptable pollution levels in the Waikato River.
Sea Life
SEA LIFE London Aquarium is located on the ground floor of County Hall on the South Bank of the River Thames in central London. It hosts over 7,000 sea creatures and is one of the biggest aquariums in the world. Visitors can explore different exhibits like the Ocean Tunnel, Seahorse Kingdom, Rainforest Adventure, and Shark Walk to view penguins, clownfish, rays, jellyfish, starfish and other sea life.
Lake Taupo
Lake Taupo is New Zealand's largest lake, covering 616 square kilometers. It formed 26,500 years ago when a supervolcano erupted, leaving behind a large crater. Lake Taupo drains into the Waikato River and is a popular trout fishing location. However, the lake is under threat from increasing nitrogen levels from surrounding land use. Local agencies are working to reduce nitrogen by 20% to maintain current water quality standards in Lake Taupo.
MALDIVES POWER STATION IN FUTER
The document discusses how electricity can be generated from seawater in the Maldives using innovative technologies. Some key points:
1) The Maldives plans to build power stations that make electricity from seawater using new model technologies being developed in the country by 2016.
2) Each atoll will have a structure like the Thames Barrier in the UK that uses the motion of seawater to generate electricity as a backup power source across the Maldives.
3) Power plants using seawater could be built in all areas of the Maldives to provide electricity.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

- 1. Marina Barrage Built across the mouth of the Marina Channel, the Marina Barrage creates Singapore's 15th reservoir, and the first in the heart of the city. With a catchment area of 10,000 hectares, or one-sixth the size of Singapore, the Marina catchment is the island's largest and most urbanised catchment. Together with two other new reservoirs, the Marina Reservoir will boost Singapore's water catchment from half to two-thirds of the country's land area by 2011. The Marina Barrage is the result of Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew's vision nearly two decades ago when he envisaged damming the mouth of the Marina Channel to create a freshwater reservoir.
- 3. Marina Barrage The Marina Barrage is a dam built across the 350-metre wide Marina Channel to keep out seawater, forming Singapore's first reservoir in the city and 15th reservoir. Marina Reservoir combines with the future Punggol and Serangoon reservoirs will increase Singapore's water catchment areas from half to two-thirds of Singapore's land areas. On 20 November 2010, the Marina Reservoir was commissioned by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew as a freshwater reservoir, augmenting Singapore’s water supply for generations to come. Desalting had begun in April 2009 through natural replacement by rainwater. Local catchment water is one of the Four National Taps, with the other three being imported water, NEWater and desalinated water. As one of the pillars of local water supply, Marina Reservoir will meet more than 10% of Singapore's current water demand.
