Surface Water

* Pikes Peak Northern and Southern Slopes
* Cheyenne Creeks
* Fountain Creek
* Peakview Reservoir in Monument

Q.What conclusions did you come to? What do you recommend average citizens do to make a difference? Be specific. This is the main part of your assignment.
A.the convolution that I have come to is that if people don't pay attestation to the garbage patch then it will grow till there is no more ocean or Marine life.
Q.What would happen if, worst-case scenario, nobody listened to your recommendations?
A.If nobody listened to my recommendations then nothing about the garbage patch would change and the garbage will just keep piling up.
Q.What would happen if, best-case scenario, everybody listened to your recommendations?
A.If everyone listened then the garbage patch would start to slowly but shurly disappear but it would take a long time to get rid of this huge patch of garbage.

penny project

In this project you put droplets of water on a penny until the water flowed over the penny.My guess was 34 but it ended up to be 39 so I was close.

Three gorges dam

As engineers the 3 Gorges Dam is a great example of many solutions to energy and ecosystem problems. the energy the 3 gorges dam produce can give energy to many people in the surrounding area. A hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity. The Chang River is located in the heart of China and runs through the middle of it. It is also the longest river in China.

There are many local farms and a small cities. Many will have to evacuate in order to build this dam. It will help flooding problems and save many lives and agriculture. The vegetation is very green around the river with many small towns, cities, and farms. To see this flooding first hand makes us wonder if the Earth is going through global warming or climate changes. If flooding happens at the Chang River; it might be also happening around the world.

Also, the dam has been known to cause landslides, altering entire ecosystems, and other serious environmental issues. It has led to a particularly strong lake effect. And many waterborne diseases have increased. Because humanity has built this huge dam, it has become China's biggest potential environmental nightmare. But the Government officials have long defended the 24 billion dollar project is a major source of renewable power for the energy-hungry nation.
