Overview
The proposed quarry site is situated in an environmentally rich location. Exotic mature trees that are not native to its current ecosystem basically surround it; therefore, it was planted in the area to grow as newly adapting tree specie. In addition, sheep’s that are thriving in the grass growing in the Kanuka Hill presently grazes the land. Small bodies of water are presently home to small animals like small fish, birds and frogs at the surrounding wetlands and Kanuka stream. Furthermore, high concentration of vegetation and other plants are present in ...

A COMPARISON BETWEEN FRESH WATER WETLAND AND SALINE WETLAND

The Australian landscape has a natural component which is salt. This salt in the landscape gets into the various water bodies and affects their level of salinity which affects the way of life of the various biota inhabiting these places. Around the world and in Australia it is been identified that the salinization of fresh water is a major environmental issue. This concern of the effect of the gradual rise of salinity in water bodies’ biodiversity has resulted in the investigative studies on the lives of the invertebrate family both in the saline water and in the fresh water. There has ...

Dissolved Oxygen

INTRODUCTION
Dissolved oxygen is a useful parameter used to determine the level of effluent in waste water treatment. Living organisms in water bodies require oxygen to break down organic matter. These organisms consume the dissolved oxygen in water and give out carbon dioxide. Oxygen does not readily dissolve in water and gets depleted quickly by increased micro-organism activity. To maintain optimal oxygen levels in a water body, the oxygen replenishing rate from the air should be equal to dissolved oxygen use by micro-organism in the water. A curve drawn to represent dissolved oxygen levels down a stream from a point of effluent ...

Minnesota is understood as one of the most wonderful and interesting places in the United States. Divided into four primary biomes which include the prairie, the deciduous forest, the coniferous forest and the waterfowl wetland, it could not be denied that Minnesota has one of the richest ecological environments in the country. Hence, to make sure that the environmental balance in the area remains as rich as necessary to support life, it has been considered important to establish a camp that is able to provide the species with the support system that they need to survive. As response to this ...

The chapter “Urban Facts and Fallacies” by Thomas Sowell is definitely an interesting read compelling reader to reflect on every fact stated by the author. The Housing section of chapter was shocking and eye-opening and starts from providing truth of the biggest “fallacy” as called by author that government intervention is required in the housing market to control the upper limit of price of houses. The reading is directed to break this fallacy to make readers realize that due to government intervention, the prices have actually skyrocketed. It is a well known fact that prices of houses has ...

Geographical Perspectives of Brisbane 2026

Introduction

In many western countries, as well as in Australia, city planners consider urban consolidation so as to achieve a compact urban form as a good strategy to manage urban growth as well as to contain urban sprawl (Freeman, 2001). Freeman further explains that such compact urban centers are beneficial in terms of efficient land use, reduced automobile reliance and promotes social interaction among the residents. The Brisbane city council as well as many other city councils has realized proper management of urban centers will contribute positively in creating sustainable cities.
