Discover how hydropower plants work and how they harness the kinetic energy of water flow with each type of power plant: run-of-river, pumped-storage, reservoir, or channel hydropower plants.
Found along coastlines, tidal marshes are most prevalent on the eastern coast of the United States and in the Gulf of Mexico. Non-tidal marshes are the most common type of wetlands in North America and occur along the boundaries of streams, rivers, ponds and lakes. Water is generally only ...
During the restoration of this lake by suctiondredging the nutrient-rich sediment up on land, an easily measureable activity could also be detected in the water. The cellulose degradation was also studied in some rivers and streams and in the water of three sewage treatment plants....
This zone is surrounded by the shallow-marsh zone where the emergent plants grow. Beyond the water's edge is the wet-meadow zone. Wetlands along streams have similar plant zones, also depending on water depth. Wetlands in flat, coastal areas generally do not have such distinct plant zones ...
This species of amphibian can grow up to 6 feet long and are found across much of Eastern Asia, including China. They live primarily in slow-moving bodies of water like rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes, where they feed on small fish and crustaceans. Unfortunately, this species has been ...

This smart farming technology removes the need for farmers to control environmental conditions manually. The data received by the software can be easily viewed and analyzed, providing unprecedented insights into the health of plants. More agricultural businesses start using this smart farming technology ...
Drainage patternis the pattern formed by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a particular drainage basin. They are governed by thetopography of the land,whethera particular region is dominated byhard or soft rocks, and thegradient of the land. ...
Direct consumption of estuarine plants is important, but many small estuarine animals process decomposing plant material and associated microbes known as detritus. Rich populations of invertebrates living in the sediments and water provide food for shrimps, crabs, fishes, birds, and mammals. ...
Humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems all need water to function. Water is one of the most important resources that all life on Earth needs. Clean drinking water is available to most people in the United States, as indoor faucets with clean water are common. However, not all that water ...
