Global climate change, especially since the Industrial age began, has affected the entire planet in various ways. There have been larger storms as a result of climate change. There are serious droughts because of climate change. The ice caps are melting because of ...

According to EPA (2016), environmental management involves the development of systems aimed at reducing environmental impacts of various activities. In the Brundtland commission report (WCED), sustainable development has been described as development aimed at meeting the current needs of the present generation. However, as the current generation focuses on meeting their own needs, their activities should not compromise the capability of future generations to also meet their own needs. Available evidence suggests that the future generation would have challenges meeting their own needs if the current generation fails to adopt sustainable practices. The sustainable development incorporates the triple line: ...

A greenway is usually defined as a paved path which is used for a range of purposes; it is actually multipurpose as it can accommodate several uses.

- Introduction The subject of this study concerns some of the most serious pavement deficiencies: alligator cracking, bleeding, and potholes. Alligator cracking and potholes can often shorten the pavement’s lifespan. Bleeding more often impacts road safety; bleeding causes reduced friction which, in turn, can cause skidding for drivers. The case study focuses on alligator cracking, potholes, and bleeding in an effort to explain their impact on pavement, as well as how they are remedied. In an effort to better understand the detriment these issues cause, a local two-lane road was studied for evidence of distress and damage. ...

Introduction

Hydraulic is a term used in oil exploration to refer to the proliferation of fractures in a layer of rock. Hydraulic fracturing employs the use of a pressurized fluid to propagate the fractures on the layer of rock. This is referred to as induced hydraulic fracturing. Conversely, some hydraulic fractures can occur naturally devoid of interference from man. Good examples of these are veins and dykes that occur on layers of rock beneath the earth’s surface. These dykes and veins provide conduits along which petroleum and gas from source rocks can seep in through to reservoir rocks. Through induced hydraulic ...
