We created safe havens for the manatee and also reduced the deaths from other preventable causes like crushing deaths by ships and lock systems in our waterways. In our zeal to save the manatee, we also promoted thermal pollution by requiring power plants to maintain warm water discharges that ...
The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida filed a petition Aug. 19 asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hold that pumping polluted water from canals in the Everglades into Lake Okeechobee without a permit violates the Clean Water Act (Miccosukee Tribe of Indi-ans of Florida v. South Florida ...
Florida locals are calling it “the black curtain”: polluted water originating in Lake Okeechobee that leaks out to the state’s east and west coasts. The murky mass has devastated countless businesses whose success depends on annual tourists eager to experience the clean, clear waters of the S...
Six months later scientists at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection advocated limiting the average phosphorous level for Water Conservation Area 2 to eight-and-a-half parts per billion, noting that phosphorous levels in unpolluted stretches of the Everglades were even lower. Bitter sweets...
Dolphins and sharks are showing up in surprisingly shallow water just off the Florida coast. Mullets crabs rays and small fish gather by the thousands off an Alabama pier. Birds covered in oil are crawling deep into marshes (沼泽) never to be seen again. Marine scientists studying the ...
Y Lei,LS Chou,Wen K.Shieh - 《Water Research》 被引量: 108发表: 2001年 Long-Term Numerical Simulation of Methane Transport and Oxidation in Compost Biofilter A 30-cm-thick biofilter was constructed with compost, which was obtained from Leon County Landfill (Florida). The compost was sieved ...
The Florida Everglades is a fragile wetland system that is naturally depleted in phosphorus (P). This hydrosystem has been heavily impacted by human activities, including the draining of wetlands to provide water for agricultural and urban use. The result is a highly compartmentalized system with ...
“The impact of the pollution is especially pronounced in Egypt, the most populous and arid nation downstream of the Nile, which depends entirely on the river as its only source of water for drinking and crop irrigation. The country currently faces one of the highest water budget deficits in ...

The device spawned out of a discovery at KU Leuven, where researchers realized they didn’t need clean liquid water to create hydrogen gas. Their small device could instead pull water molecules directly from the air. Taking that one step further,Sammy Verbruggenand his team began to use pollut...
