River Colorado This extraordinary river has many unique features and runs through 7 American states including Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, Baja, California, and Sonora. Humans have benefitted from the river for the last 2000 years due to its huge potential. More water is exported from the colorado basin than from any other river basin in the US. However these human uses have caused various effects on the river discharge. Key Features: Big Thompson Trans-Basin Diversion Reservoirs

enough to sustain hurricanes (> 26.5°C). Image by: OSDPD Related to having warm ocean water, high relative humidities in the lower and middle troposphere are also required for hurricane development. These high humidities reduce the amount of evaporation in clouds and maximizes the latent heat released because there is more precipitation. The concentration of latent heat is critical to driving the system. The vertical wind shear in a tropical cyclone's environment is also important. Wind shear

chamber the height of the sterile water in this chamber will determine the amount of negative pressure that is applied. The higher the sterile water volume, more suction will be produced. To much suction can cause vigorous bubbling the can cause evaporation of the water in this chamber. Lastly is the positive pressure valve, this valve automatically opens when a increase of positive pressure is sense in the system. You know the client drainage system is functioning properly when drainage is consistent

fragments of rocks that were formed by erosion and weather. Clastic rocks are often characterized by the size of their grains. Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed from the inorganic deposition of chemicals. This process takes place through the evaporation of a chemical rich solution. The chemicals generally come from the chemical weathering of other rocks and sediments. Biogenic sedimentary rocks are formed from organic material such as decomposed plant or animal matter. Depending on what organic

Dermis connective tissue Beneath the 2nd layer is loose connective/adipose tissue called hypodermis epidermis The epidermis has five layers: 1. Stratum Germinativum (deepest) 2. Stratum Spinosum 3. Stratum Granulosum 4. Stratum Lucidum 5. Stratum Corneum (most superficial) The two deepest layers are called the Germinative

used is eventually returned to the environment where it replenishes water sources and can be used for other purposes. However, when water is used in an irrigation system, only about half of the water can be reused. The other half is lost due to evaporation, evapotranspiration, or is lost due to leaking pipes. “For 2005, total irrigation withdrawals were about 128,000 million gallons per day or 144,000 thousand acre-feet per year”(IrrigationWaterUse). The definition of an irrigation system is “a

of the country plays a significant role in the water resources availability. Rainfall, which is a main source of recharge for different water resources, such as surface water and groundwater, is scanty and extremely irregular in time and space. Evaporation, which reduces the amount of surface water, is high. Heavy pumping of groundwater has deteriorated groundwater levels. The continued reduction of water storage will hinder the development in the country. MAJOR WATER RESOURCES IN UAE: The water
