Wetlands act as kidneys for rivers, cleaning out rubbish and pollutants from water. Larger wetlands can take longer to walk through but remove more pollutants. Wetlands go by many names like swamp, bog, fen, marsh, and muskeg. A man-made wetland is constructed by humans to filter stormwater, while a natural wetland occurs without human involvement. Constructed wetlands are meant to filter out pollution and contaminants from water.

Water is essential for life on Earth. It is always changing states as it moves through the water cycle of evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Most of the Earth's water is salty and located in oceans, while a small percentage is fresh water found in ice, rivers, lakes, and clouds. The sun's heat causes water to evaporate from oceans, lakes, and vegetation before condensing into clouds and falling as rain or snow to replenish fresh water supplies on land and start the cycle again.Environmental impacts of turfgrass
Environmental impacts of turfgrassBradenPugel
Ìý
Turfgrass lawns contribute significantly to air, soil, noise, and water pollution due to the resources required for their upkeep. They require large amounts of water, fertilizer, pesticides and other chemicals which pollute the air and waterways. Lawn clippings and runoffs carry pesticides that harm wildlife. Alternative landscaping options such as dwarf mondo grass, rock gardens, or artificial turf require less water and upkeep but have other environmental tradeoffs. Adopting low-maintenance grasses like mondo grass would benefit the environment the most.NATURES LAST STAND

Where does Soil come from?Norhan Zahran
Ìý
Soil is formed over long periods of time from the breakdown of rocks and dead plants and animals into smaller particles. These particles are decomposed by organisms into nutrients that make up soil. Soil texture and composition can vary depending on the size of particles, which range from very small clay to larger sand, with silt and loam mixtures draining water at different rates.My south sound watershed promise sb

Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen molecules. It has no color, taste or smell. Water exists in different forms for different uses like drinking, bathing, cooking and gardening. Water cycles through evaporation and precipitation. Only 3% of water on Earth is fresh water. We should conserve water by turning off taps and not polluting water sources. Water needs purification before use to remove impurities and kill germs. The purification process involves sedimentation, coagulation, filtration, aeration and disinfection to make water safe for drinking.Water

Water has many important uses including drinking, cooking, washing utensils, bathing, cleaning, and is found in rivers, oceans, ponds, wells, lakes, and seas. The process of water turning into vapor is called evaporation, while the process of vapor turning back into water is called condensation. Transpiration is the process by which leaves release water vapor into the atmosphere. When it rains heavily for a long period, it causes flooding. Drought occurs when there is no rain for an extended time. Groundwater is rainwater that gets absorbed into the soil. Rainwater collection systems involve collecting roof rainwater in pipes that lead to storage tanks, which may require filtering before use.Rain forist and coral reef

Coral reefs and rainforests are both equally important ecosystems, but coral reefs are declining faster, shrinking by 1% annually for the past two decades. While rainforests once covered 14% of the earth and now only 6%, coral reef loss is twice as fast as rainforest loss. Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems containing many organisms and plants found worldwide, especially in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.Cerebellar anatomy as applied to cerebellar microsurgical resections
