The flow of electricity through wires and cables from the main supply can be compared with the flow of water through pipes from a water tank. When the tap is turned off, the water does not move, but when a tap is turned on the height of the water in the tank eerts pressure on the...

These waters only heat water when the faucet is turned on. Since the water is not heated beforehand and heats up as it passes through the pipe, you can enjoy an endless supply of piping-hot water as long as you keep the tap running. ...
Furthermore, there may be other available sources like leakages in water pipes, harvested rainwater, and collected surface water. Hence, many people are dependent on water of unsafe origins. Due to the poor water quality, diseases can spread easily, worsening the living conditions of those ...
Our circulatory systems move water around our bodies and remove it as needed through sweating and urination. A few animals, like a microscopic organism called the tartigrade, can go without water for an extraordinary period of time. If the tartigrade's environment doesn't have enough water, ...
Three-quarters of the world's flamingos fly over from other salt lakes in the Rift Valley and nest on salt-crystal islands that appear when thewateris at a specific level一too high and the birds can't build their nests, too low and predators can move bri ...
Riverine inputs are a dominant source of biodegradable organic compounds. These inputs can come from direct point source discharge, collection of surface runoff either from pipes or in sheet flow, or the contribution of contaminated groundwater (Verstraeten et al., 2002). Organic compounds will ge...
If the water has to move at a couple of metres per second, or thereabouts, how much pressure is needed? It's a simple question, but unfortunatelythere is no simple answer. It depends on what pipes are fitted, and how long they are. Each case must be individually calculated. But don'...

Seepage can also occur through overburden and especially from collapsed hanging wall areas and may contribute notably to surface water contamination. For protecting the environment, shaft or adit discharge is preferable, as the water can be directed towards an active or passive mine water treatment ...
