Part one will explain the main causes and nature of the damages: World War II air raids, the earthquakes (especially 23/11/80), vegetation, water, erosion by tourists, atmospheric pollution, and restorations. Most of the information for this paper comes from Jean-Pierre Adam's book, Dégradation et restauration de l'architecture
it tramples over the delicate arts, taking with it pieces irreplaceably stolen, never to fully return. However, modern restoration techniques can bring these muddled, damaged, and tainted works of art into the light to be enjoyed more thoroughly as they once were. By stripping these pieces of the hardships endured throughout the years and bringing out their originality, restoration leaves the viewer with a more accurate perception of what the piece always has looked like. While some argue by attempting

development of hydrology, or the study of water flow, scientists have found several alternatives for dredging.

These include natural, soft engineering and hard engineering methods. Why dredging is not the best solution “Dredging is the removal of sediments and debris from the bottom of lakes, rivers, harbors, and other water bodies” (National Ocean Service, 2014). According
Oil Spills and How They Affect The Environment Oil spills, no matter how small or large, effect the worlds environment by their destroying and poisoning any habitat they come in contact with, mainly the water though.

On April 20, 2010, the Gulf of Mexico experienced a disaster unprecedented in scale and environmental impact. Fifty miles off the coast of Louisiana in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, a BP drilling rig suffered an explosion that claimed eleven lives and caused the rig to sink over 5000 ft. to the sea bed floor. This was the beginning of the BP oil spill which spanned over eighty seven days, releasing an approximate 2.3 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Although the flow
before making a sharp turn for the densely populated northeast. Unlike other hurricanes in the region, Sandy maintained momentum as it moved north and met unusually warm waters that helped fuel the storm’s enormous power. It made landfall during a high tide that creating record storm surges, that resulted flooding and massive damage. On its journey, the the hurricane accumulated energy as it merged with a low-pressure system coming from the west. These conditions created the vicious weather system
Reef Restoration has been around for the past 30-40 years. It has been key in recovery towards the world’s coral reefs. The characterization of a reef restoration is that it is an act of returning the ecosystem to its original condition. Some elements of that include, rescuing a species, returning the reef to its original state, and increasing diversity within the ecosystem. Coral reefs are called home to a profuse variety of living creatures such as fish, lobster, clams, sea turtles, sharks, eels

Man built wall stop the soil from absorbing water from river, oil companies release damage water and the industry cannels in wetlands all cause the dead of plants. The plant plays a critical role in the wetland’s environment. Forest is a good natural barrier to reduce the storm energy. Plants’ roots can also fix the soil
The Klamath Water War: The effects of water scarcity are relatively new for irrigators in the Klamath Basin as decreasing summer and spring snow melts have brought a re-examination of water priorities in the region. In times of drought, irrigators received priority in water allocation because of the prevailing legal rights and normative values at the time. The Klamath Wildlife Refuges and the Salmon received the leftover water that which was not needed for irrigation (Tarlock 2007). In 2001, the
