Water pollution is a major problem that affects many water sources. Stormwater is not treated before entering waterways, carrying contaminants from yards that can pollute lakes and streams. Most water pollution comes from land-based activities, and 40-46% of rivers and lakes are too polluted for safe activities. Each year, 25% of US beaches face advisories or closures due to pollution. Half the world's population faces problems with drinking water pollution. The document encourages individuals to reduce pollution through proper waste disposal and conservation efforts.

Beegle - Water Pollution
This document discusses water pollution and provides facts, lessons learned, and ways to spread awareness and take action. It notes that 80% of the world's population lives with polluted water and that water is wasted in factories and dripping faucets. The author pledges to conserve water by turning it off while brushing teeth and to stop littering and spread information to help address water pollution.
Social action initial responses
Turning off taps while brushing teeth and taking shorter showers can save water, which reduces energy bills. Fixing leaks and only running full loads in appliances conserves water that would otherwise be wasted. Littering pollutes the environment, harms wildlife, poses safety risks, and costs over 1 billion pounds per year to clean up in London alone. Road users need to be aware of cyclists and motorcyclists to reduce accidents, as motorcyclists are 38 times more likely to be killed per mile traveled than car occupants.
presentation by our President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
This letter, written in the year 2070, describes a dystopian future where water scarcity has led to societal collapse. The author, now 50 years old, suffers from kidney problems due to dehydration. Trees and vegetation have disappeared, rivers and lakes are dry, and underground water sources are contaminated. Most industry has shut down due to lack of water. Fights regularly break out over the little drinkable water remaining. The population is sickly and disfigured from dehydration and radiation exposure. The author feels guilty for the generation's role in environmental destruction and wonders if life on Earth will soon become impossible.

Water Scarcity-A major issue in India
In many areas across India, people lack consumable water resources. The underground water level is depleted to a drastic level these years due to deforestation, urbanisation and many other reasons. There are many drought areas in Maharashtra and many other states. People should adapt some sustainable development methods in order to overcome severe water crisis.
FUTURE SCARY....English project by RAJINI
1) The writer is 58 years old but appears much older due to severe kidney problems caused by a lifelong lack of water.
2) Society has changed drastically as water shortages have worsened - people now use minimal water, trees and vegetation are gone, and the environment is severely degraded.
3) The writer feels guilty for not heeding warnings when younger, and their children now suffer the consequences of environmental destruction that may make life on Earth unsustainable in the near future.
The water crisis!
The water crisis refers to the problem of not having enough clean water for the growing global population. One-fifth of people currently lack access to drinking water, and that number is expected to rise as the population increases by 40% over the next 50 years. The water crisis is caused both by pollution from factories and waste entering water sources, as well as individual water waste through leaks, inefficient appliances, and leaving taps running unnecessarily. Small actions like fixing leaks, replacing old fixtures, and being conscious of water use, such as turning off taps while brushing teeth, can help address the crisis by collectively saving large amounts of water.
Letter Written In 2070
This is a fiction letter written in 2070! How the time will change. How people then would be living without or in shortage of drinking water, of any water for that matter. Because our generation didn't care for the enviornment, result shown in here is hair raising. Just think! Do something! Get Inspired and convey this messege to others to for a cuase!

SAVE WATER TO SAVE WORLD
This letter is written from the year 2070 describing a dire future where water has become extremely scarce. The writer, now age 50, is one of the oldest people due to health issues from dehydration. Everything has changed drastically from the writer's childhood - there are no trees, no gardens, strict water rationing, and people must wear disposable clothing. Wars are fought over water and life expectancy is just 35 years. The writer feels guilty for being part of the generation that ignored warnings and led to the destruction of the environment, leaving future generations to suffer severe consequences of a world without water.
Save water
This document provides information about saving water and emphasizes the importance of conserving this critical resource. It notes that 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water but only 2% is freshwater. It encourages various ways to save water such as fixing leaky faucets, collecting rinse water, and turning off taps while brushing teeth. The document stresses that water shortage causes over 3.5 million deaths annually, mostly among children. It concludes by stating that conserving water can save both the Earth and money.
period 7- Soranda Phal- "Water Pollution"
The document discusses water pollution and its causes and effects. It notes that water pollution occurs when pollutants contaminate bodies of water, negatively impacting water quality. Common causes of water pollution include littering, waste from factories, and oil spills. The document emphasizes that water is essential for life but only a small percentage is available for human use, so water pollution is a serious problem if left unaddressed and could result in water shortages and conflicts. It concludes by urging actions like reducing littering and advocating for companies to curb waste dumping to help prevent further water pollution.
Water pollution
Water pollution is one of the largest problems in the world, with over half of people facing water shortages daily. Clean drinking water is essential for survival but is lacking for many, as people in parts of Africa and China do not even have access to unpolluted water. Water pollution not only threatens human access to water but also kills animals and plants. While some cities have helped by repairing pipes to reduce waste, water pollution remains a serious global issue.

The document provides tips for conserving water such as turning off taps while brushing teeth, taking short showers, only running full loads for washing machines and dishwashers, and using buckets of water instead of hoses to clean. It calls on readers to contribute to water conservation for the benefit of all.
Save water save life
Water is the most precious gift of nature. It has no taste, no smell and no colour. It is found everywhere and the other name of it is life. We find it in tanks, ponds, wells, rivers and springs. Almost three-fourth of the earth is water. We should conserve and save water so as to protect the water environment.
A LETTER TO HUMANITY --- Save Environment - Save Future --[ A MESSAGE OF " NG...
This letter, written in the year 2070, describes a dystopian future where water scarcity has severely impacted society. The writer is an elderly man in poor health due to lack of water. He recalls the abundance of water and natural resources from his childhood and how warnings about conservation went unheeded. Now, industries have collapsed, unemployment is high, and violence over water is common. The population suffers from disease and early death due to dehydration and pollution. Younger generations pay the price for the environmental destruction of prior generations. The writer fears that life on Earth will soon be impossible due to the irreversible damage done to the planet.
WATER A LIFE GIVING LIQUID
Water is essential for agriculture, manufacturing, and human survival. Only 1% of the world's water is usable, making it a precious resource. Throughout history, polluted water supplies have caused disease outbreaks that killed thousands. Proper water management through catchments, dams, and controlling human activity helps ensure water stays safe for drinking.
Save Our Water
Ecuadorians use water for industrial, domestic, agricultural, and livestock activities as water guarantees the survival of plants, animals, and humans. Water comes from fresh water sources and is essential for life as living organisms formed in the primitive oceans thousands of years ago. Plants are made up of 75 to 90% water, similar to how an animal's body is 60 to 70% water. The document provides tips for conserving water such as taking shorter showers, running dishwashers and washing machines at full capacity, replacing old toilets, turning off faucets while brushing teeth, and washing cars with buckets instead of hoses. Electricity and water for homes come from rivers and reservoirs.
Letter written in the Year 2070
This letter written in 2070 describes a dire future with severe water scarcity. The writer recalls abundant water and nature from their childhood in contrast to the current situation. People now suffer from dehydration, poor health, and early death. Water has become extremely precious and fought over. The environment is severely degraded without trees or vegetation. The writer feels guilty for belonging to the generation that contributed to the destruction leading to this bleak future that their children now endure.
Water conservation evm
Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without treatment, contaminating the water. This pollution can cause diseases in humans and animals who consume the contaminated water. It also deteriorates marine life. While three-fourths of the earth is covered in water, only a small percentage is available freshwater that is critical for drinking and agriculture. Water conservation is therefore important to ensure sufficient water resources.

Water pollution is a serious problem that affects many people globally. An estimated 1.5 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and over 5 million deaths per year are caused by waterborne diseases. Sources of water pollution include direct dumping of industrial and agricultural waste, as well as indirect sources like contaminated soils and rainwater runoff. If not addressed, water pollution will continue to spread disease and negatively impact wildlife and ecosystems. Prevention through reduced waste and sustainable practices is more effective than cleanup. Community education and cooperation are needed to develop long-term solutions.
Silvana
Water pollution is a major global issue. Only 1% of the world's water is accessible freshwater, yet water usage is exceeding natural replenishment rates. Nearly half of the world's population lacks access to clean drinking water. Common causes of water pollution include agricultural runoff containing fertilizers and pesticides, oil spills, trash dumping, and untreated sewage. To help address this problem, organizations work on conservation efforts and treating contaminated water sources. Individual actions like reducing water usage and properly disposing of waste can also make a difference.

Eng project
This document discusses the importance of water and promoting efficient water use. It aims to augment water supply in critical areas, ensure effective water management, conserve wetlands, and spread awareness about water. Access to clean water and adequate sanitation is essential for health but many people lack these basic necessities. Simple hygiene practices can prevent disease but are not universally practiced. The global water crisis deprives many of opportunities and contributes to poverty. Conservation methods like toilet displacement devices can save over a gallon of water per flush.
Water pollution 2
Water pollution occurs when harmful substances are dumped into bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. An estimated 1.5 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and water pollution causes over 5 million deaths per year from waterborne diseases. Major sources of water pollution include garbage and waste from factories, oil spills, and raw sewage. Effects of water pollution include closed beaches, wildlife suffering or dying, and people contracting diseases from drinking polluted water. While some think water pollution will solve itself, others want to take action to address it in order to protect water quality and public health.
water pollution
Water pollution is a major global problem, causing over 14,000 daily deaths worldwide. In India, 700 million people lack access to proper sanitation and 1,000 children die daily from diarrhea. Water pollution can come from point sources like sewage pipes or non-point sources like agricultural and urban runoff. Common point sources include septic tanks and ocean dumping, while non-point sources include excess fertilizers and chemicals from farms and developed areas. Water pollution kills aquatic life, disrupts food chains, and causes diseases in humans. Conserving water and properly disposing of hazardous chemicals can help reduce water pollution.

Schwoeble piano
The document summarizes how a piano works. It explains that a piano was invented in the 1700s by Bartolomeo Cristofori. When keys are pressed, small hammers hit strings of different thicknesses to produce different tones. The three pedals alter the sound by lifting dampers, shifting the keyboard right or left. Vibration of the strings creates sound that travels through air molecules.
Physics of Gymnastics
Gymnasts use chalk on their hands to absorb sweat and prevent slipping on the bars and beam. When doing skills on the bars, gymnasts perform moves like 360 degree circles, 90 degree turns, and 180 degree stands by pushing off the bars and transferring their energy. On the vault, gymnasts get a running start and use force to push off the springboard which launches them into the air.
The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle
The document discusses the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, where planes and ships have disappeared without explanation. It notes that within the Bermuda Triangle, compasses become erratic and planes experience mechanical issues, often resulting in death for the passengers and crew. Specific examples are given of a ship carrying 3,502 people in which 2,445 died after crossing the Bermuda Triangle, and a plane with 119 people that disappeared entirely after crossing into the region. The document questions whether the mystery will ever be solved, but hopes that it will be in order to prevent further loss of life.
How to Make a Sculpture
The document describes a student's sculpture project of the dinosaur Gastonia. The student outlines the 5-step process used to sculpt the dinosaur out of modeling clay, including obtaining the clay and molding tools. Details are added using various sculpting and molding tools to shape features and texture. The completed sculpture of Gastonia is presented at the end.
Service Dogs
Service dogs are trained to assist individuals with disabilities by performing tasks to mitigate the effects of their disabilities. Guide dogs help blind or visually impaired individuals navigate and alert deaf individuals to sounds in their environment. Service dogs can also retrieve dropped items, wake individuals from sleep, and remind owners to take medication for psychiatric disabilities like depression. Effective service dogs possess traits like alertness, energy, and an ability to focus on their owner. While expensive to purchase fully trained, individuals can also work with experienced trainers to teach adopted dogs disability-specific tasks.
Baseball History
The document discusses the early history of baseball, noting that the first baseball team was the Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1839, fields had no fences in the outfield, and the first baseball gloves were simple leather gloves with little padding. It also mentions that the Cincinnati Red Stockings were the first national baseball team, baseballs were originally made with a core wrapped in string or yarn, and the rules for early baseball bats specified a maximum barrel width of 2.5 inches and length of 42 inches.
How Basketball Become a Sport
James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 while working at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. He was tasked with creating an indoor winter sport that could be played in a small space. Naismith devised the game using a soccer ball and peach baskets as goals. The first official game was played in 1891 and included 13 original rules focusing on dribbling, passing, and scoring baskets. Basketball quickly grew in popularity at YMCAs across the country.
Dj Remixes
DJ remixing software allows users to create remixes by combining sounds and beats. Popular software options include Mixxx and Kramix, but adult supervision is recommended. The document discusses why the author chose to focus on DJ remixing software, noting their interest in music. It also provides some facts about DJing, such as how it teaches about sound travel and programming. Microsoft created PowerPoint and some DJ apps to earn money from interested customers. The author describes using a Kindle Fire app to create a song in 10 minutes for this project over 4 weeks. All that is needed to get started is a device, power, and optional headphones.
Country Music Then and Now
The document lists and provides biographical details about several influential country singers throughout history, including Hank Williams, Bing Crosby, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, and Hunter Hayes. It provides information on their birth names, birthdates, birthplaces, careers, marriages, and children for each singer.
Minecraft Mods
Markus Persson created the popular game Minecraft in May 2009 at the age of 30. He wanted to develop a game that combined mining and crafting for kids to enjoy. The document also provides additional biographical details about Markus Persson, noting that he is now 35 years old, married Elin Zetterstrand in 2011, and became a billionaire due to the success of Minecraft.
How to Make Paint
The document lists ingredients and instructions for making homemade paint including baking soda, flour, glue, soap and various food coloring options. It instructs the reader to pour color, water, baking soda, flour, soap and glue into a container, then mix it all together to create the paint.
How Signs are Made
This document discusses the history of road signs and how two students created their own sign. It notes that the origins of the first road sign are unknown, and that signs today must be reflective to be visible at night. The students made their sign out of aluminum foil and paint with sharpies, running into issues using wax paper initially but completing the project successfully in the end. They welcome any questions about their process.
How Dolphins are Trained
Dolphins are trained using positive reinforcement with a whistle or target, and negative reinforcement with timeouts. Trainers use hand signals to indicate which behaviors dolphins should perform. Dolphins first learn to target an object, then respond to hand signals indicating behaviors. Communication between dolphins and humans develops as they learn each other's sounds and signals.
How Dinosaurs Became Extinct
A meteorite struck Earth around 65 million years ago, killing the dinosaurs and over half of all life forms. Dinosaurs first appeared around 225 million years ago and evolved from earlier reptiles called thecodonts. The largest dinosaur was the ultrasaurus, while Tyrannosaurus rex was the strongest. Herbivorous dinosaurs ate plants, carnivorous dinosaurs ate meat, and omnivorous dinosaurs ate both plants and meat. The meteorite impact kicked up dust that blocked the sun's warmth and light, destroying plants and leaving dinosaurs without food. This led to the extinction of the dinosaurs except for early mammals.
How Did Greece Fall?
Greece fell from its position as a great empire due to infighting among its tribes and alliances. The Greeks spent months fighting a weaker barbarian tribe, and further angered the Romans by allying with the barbarians against them. When the Greeks returned, the Romans had heard what happened and ended their alliance. The Greeks and Romans then engaged in battle, which ultimately led to Greece's fall from power.
What is in Egyptian Tombs?
The document discusses several aspects of ancient Egyptian culture, including their system of hieroglyphic writing, the practice of mummification, and security measures in tombs. Hieroglyphics used pictures instead of letters to represent sounds and ideas, making them difficult to learn. Through mummification, Egyptians removed internal organs except the heart, which was thought necessary for the afterlife, and wrapped the body in bandages. Traps were placed in tombs to protect valuable artifacts and trap any intruders.

The planets in order from the Sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The Sun contains over 99% of the mass of the entire Solar System. Each planet has unique characteristics such as temperature, size, and composition.
How was the game of hockey was created
The origins of ice hockey are uncertain, but it developed from a combination of games played on ice including lacrosse, field hockey, and hurley. James Creighton is credited with inventing the first indoor hockey game in 1875 in Montreal using a wood disk instead of a ball. The NHL was founded in 1917 with five original teams, and expanded to include the "Original Six" teams that dominated the league until 1967.

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Holl - Water Pollution
- 1. Water Pollution By: Maggie Holl
- 2. Interesting Facts Water Pollution is the contamination of water, so that it cannot be used. Did you know, that storm water is not cleaned before it enters our waterways? If the water goes into a storm drain or a ditch, it goes straight to our lakes, streams, or bays. The water picks up small contaminants from our yards, and may end up in our water sources! 80% of water pollution in seas or in oceans, come from land-based activity.
- 3. Interesting Facts 40% of our rivers are too polluted to fish, swim, or have any aquatic life. Even worse, 46% of our lakes, are too polluted to fish, swim, or have any aquatic life. Every year about 25% of beaches in the US, have been under advisories, or have been closed, because of water pollution. Pollution of our fresh drinking water, is a problem for almost half of the worlds population.
- 4. Lesson Learned I learned that, trash causes pollution in our lakes and streams. I also learned, that if one person turned off the sink while brushing their teeth, they would save up to 1.5 gallons of water every time they brush their teeth! That is a lot of water being saved! One of the saddest things I learned was, that every 8 seconds a kid dies from water borne disease. That means that some peoples’ water is so polluted, that they can die from drinking it! Also I learned that, some big factories get rid of water waste by dumping it into our lakes and streams!
- 5. Spreading the Word I can spread the word by: Making posters to display at popular stores. Giving people in my neighborhood flyers about Water Pollution to remind them. Sending emails to people to remind them about saving water and remind them about the facts of water pollution. Getting on the Radio to talk about Water Pollution.
- 6. My Pledge I pledge to clean my yard of dog waste and other things, So that they cannot get into storm drains and enter our waterways. When I see litter I will pick it up so when a storm comes it cannot follow the water to our lakes and streams. Also, whenever I go to the beach, I will transfer any litter near the water to a local garbage can to make sure it can’t get into the water.
