The Impact of Building Harlow New Town on Canon's Brook There are likely to be many effects of building a town on a brook. We can see that the most probable responses would be that more water flows into the river and the flood risk increases. However, there are likely to be many other contributing factors and other responses to these rainfall events. In this essay, I am going to examine how the changes to the response of the river occur and what these changes actually are. The river responded to rainfall very differently in three different time periods. In 1950, the peak discharge was about 1.8 cumecs. In 1950, the lag time would have been much longer due to the fact that there were no drainage systems. Water flows into the drains, and is taken straight to the nearest river which would greatly decrease the lag time. As the drainage system developed, the lag time would decrease, and this is shown as in later years the lag time is much lower. The flood risk for the area in 1950 is quite low because there is not a lot of water being discharged from the river. In 1950, the rising limb and falling limb are gentle. In the second time period, 1958-62, the peak discharge is 5.2 cumecs. We can see that the discharge has increased from the discharge of 8 years ago. The lag time is also much shorter in this time period, which is a definite contrast to the previous one. The rising and falling limbs are also different to the previous time period. The main difference is that the rising and falling limbs are much steeper. The flood risk is quite high in this time period as the discharge is quite high. Also, the two limbs come to more of a point, rather than the curve that was present in 1950-54. In the third time period, 1966-68, the peak discharge was 8 cumecs. This is a huge increase from the previous two periods. The lag time is has decreased from before, which is also a contrast from the previous
I believe that we should continue with construction on the Rio Salado Project because of all its benefits to the valley area. The plan I am proposing is comprehensive of many plans already proposed since Rio Salado was first an idea over 30 years ago. The difference is that my plan combines the positive features of many different plans to make a new one. This includes ensuring that Town Lake provides a safe environment for all activities, providing flood control, encouraging development along the river, promoting recreation, improving the regional quality of life, attaining the economic benefits of the area, while still maintaining the historical content of the area.

Humans have interacted with our planet and its glorious sights and resources in both negative and positive ways; some ways have a negative effect on our land but a positive effect on our economic progression and visa versa. Unfortunately the Cuyahoga River has been made famous because of its complications that have been caused, which has created not only economical problems but environmental problems all throughout its troubled history and is still being fixed to this day.
In many cases diversions of freshwater inputs for irrigation or other human uses have resulted in diminished size and increased salinity (Jellison 1992). Diverting Mono Lake's streams has not only stirred political and environmental controversy over rights but has also led to the waters of Mono Lake being halved in lake volume, reduced by 45 ft.
Winnipeg follows settlement trends, and happens to be amidst two very large-scale rivers. Having been quite convenient for transportation and trading purposes, it seemed like a great location for a city. Fast-forward to the year 1950, the people canoeing to work on top of water reaching 4.5 meters deep in lower areas of the city (Passfield, 2001), resentful feelings began to arise.
... piece of wildlife within a city. The purpose of the project is to restore the refuge into a place that it really meant to be, an ecosystem fit to support the refugees within. It will bring back a real slice of nature back to everyone backyard. The improvement to water quality of the lake can finally support the organisms that used to live there. The improvement can be sighted with the appearance of the river otter and the disappearance of the smell. The smell that once drive away joggers and children will be gone enabling them to experience the beauty of the lake within its blemishes causes by humans. Children can finally experience the true of an actual sanctuary for all creatures both aquatic and terrestrial when the return of aquatic life recovers. This project is a small step to bring back the former glory of Oakland’s main aspect of attraction to the world.

Since they started pouring the concrete for the dam Lake Powell has been a center of controversy. From nature preservationists to ancient ruins advocates the subject has been heated and intense. On the other hand, those who support Lake Powell are just as avid and active in their defense of the reservoir. One of the former, Edward Abbey, sets forth his plea, hoping it does not fall upon deaf ears.

...onditions happened due to decades of poor urban planning. In the early nineteenth century, Mill Creek was converted to a sewer system, this has caused problems for the community ever since. The damages from this include sinkholes and structural damage to buildings around the neighborhood. In the late twentieth century due to unethical lending practices and urban renewal projects, the community of Mill Creek is filled with vacant and unused lots. The West Philadelphia Landscape Project has built a relationship with the Mill Creek community and has forged a partnership with the community leaders to make Mill Creek a more sustainable living environment for everyone. Since the projects start in 1987, they have built numerous gardens and cleaned up the area. They will continue this legacy for a brighter future and a completely sustainable urban environment.
Politicians are trying to make a plan to get the taxpayers, the majority of the voters, happy. Therefore they aren’t thinking about others and how it is going to affect them. For example, one negative impact of the restoration project is on paragraph 8 of “River Restoration Project Offers a Sprinkling of Hope” by Daniel Weintraub states that, “Those farms stand to lose as much as 20 percent of their water as the river is restored.” This demonstrates how the plan is to take away from the farmers. In summation, the limited amount of water will affect crops and make the farmer’s crops harder to grow. This will also consequently lead to higher food

This is a comparison and contrast of two different views of the character, Gloucester in the play King Lear. It will show the different ways that Gloucester has his eyes ripped out. It will also show the different ways the lighting is used and what kind of scenery. It will also show the difference in the ages of the character. Let’s not leave out the wardrobe and the difference between both productions. It will show how Gloucester ages and has similar problems as that of the King.
