The dangers of rivers

Rivers can be dangerous because of constant storms. When there is a big storm rivers can start to overflow, and when they overflow it can destroy houses, it can kill people, and it can destroy businesses. Researchers are not sure what the future holds but they think the environment will eventually adapt to the flooding. I think that it can be a confusing concept because the dangers only depend on how much rain we get.

    I think flooding (especially of rivers and other bodies of water) has really been on a lot of people's minds lately because of all the rain we've gotten over the last few months. Hopefully, the rain will subside and the environment will adapt to all the local flooding soon.

    There was another blog about having low percentages of clean water due to being used for irrigation. Using the overflowing lakes and creating channels for the water to naturally water plants for irrigation could allow more families clean, accessible water.

    I agree this can be very dangerous and this has been accruing frequently around us. Huge amounts of water, overflowing streams and rivers can be a danger to the people who live around them if there is a big storm.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
