Water Research Proposals Samples For Students

Introduction:

Photoextraction uses plants to remove heavy metals and other contaminants from the soil. This can be a “two edged sword.” When animals consume them, can cause high concentration of contaminants on higher levels on up the food chain. Fortunately, they also present the potential for use as biomass in alternative fuel production. . Some species of plants are more effective as Photoextractants than others are. Other plant species are more effective when used as biomass. Ideally, plants used for Photoextraction should be capable of absorbing a spectrum of contaminants, and provide cost effective biomass. Testing is needed to determine if there are ...

Water is one of the fundamental elements that exist within the aquatic ecosystem. Ideally, clean and plentiful water is the basis for a prosperous community.

This research cites the climatic changes as one of the factors that are threatening the purity and abundance of water in the ecosystem (Geiger 89). In addition, the less water that remains in the system is tainted with pollutants, which makes it hazardous for consumption. This research will base ...

Introduction

Water scarcity is a preventive issue in UAE. The gap between availability and demand leads to a situation called water stress. Water stress is expected to rise to alarmingly high levels owing to demographic factors like population and increased consumption and legal factors like government policies enforced in this direction. Conservation and effective utilization of available water resources is a must to support the current population and the future generations. Desalination provides a non-conventional technique of re-utilizing disposed or water from marine areas for intensive applications like irrigating agricultural fields by removing the salt content.
According to the US Geological Survey, water ...

PART 1

Delivery Delay
One of the risk categories that is related to freight transportation is transport can easily be interrupted when the weather is not favorable. During winter seasons rivers and lakes freeze thus the services are likely to be interrupted for several months. Drought conditions on the other hand can also interrupt the transport since the water levels are likely to be lowered thus restricting the flow of traffic. Generally weather is a major risk factor to this mode of transport (Novack, 2011).

Product Loss

The second risk category is spilling of dangerous oils in the seas and oceans during transportation. ...
