Wars will emerge and will perhaps lead to the third World War which will be fought for water and food.One key area requires countries to implement improve and maintain water accounts, which involves collecting data on amount of water used, transferred, etc.At the farm level, water management should be made compulsory.In the survey titled “Climate Change, Water and Food Security”, climate change will reduce the amount of water in river run-offs and aquifer rechargers in the Mediterranean and semi-arid areas of the Americas, Australia and Southern Africa.This will make them realise the threat and motivate them to take steps in conserving water and food.

The water drains naturally from the top to the bottom of the spiral due to the gravity.Besides acquiring knowledge, I realized that we should pay more attention in using the natural resources and we should put more effort on the conservation.First of all, for wildlife, helping protect our local and regional biodiversity are the main goals of KFBG in fauna conservation aspect.To sum up, the field trip helps experience how to implement the conservation of natural resources, for example, the rescue of wildlife, the constructed wetland wastewater treatment system and different methods of farming.This system uses a wide range of wetland plants to act as biological filters for wastewater treatment, inspired by the water purification function o...

To the practical aspect of testing clams as indicators of water quality, they are of great interest because both humans and animals harvest them as a food source indicating that bivalves’ shellfish might expose consumers to pathogens when eaten raw.Biological indicators should be sedentary within their habitats enabling them reflect quality of water and other ecosystems changes by pollution (Ghosh and Pattnaik 2005, Miller et al 2005).In addition given that biological indicators are sedentary within their habitats this enables them reflect quality of water and other ecosystems changes by pollution over an extended period of time (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1998).Bioindicators provide useful data that for the attainmen...

In conclusion, recovery of the lake ecosystem should be facilitated not only naturally but through the intervention of humans to make restoration more abrupt and systematic.Resulting from this man-made acts, every time rainy weather comes, this causes soil erosion then flooding in the surrounding area because there are no more trees and plants which hold the water from flowing freely which may damage not only the biotic but the abiotic environment as well.Usually lakes are surrounded by forests and some forms have watersheds near them where water is collected and could serve as nourishment for living things.“Biodiversity Conservation in Lake Watersheds.” (n.d.).Gallardo, F.

Spartina thwarts seaward drainage through this process, which will eventually lead to flooding by trapped backed-up water (Partridge, 1987, p.574).This has lead to the Department of Conservation and the Tasman District Council to believing that eradication of Spartina will be made possible and can become an option (Department of Conservation, 2008, 2010).The physical removal of Spartina has been attempted on many scales, which includes “hand pulling, digging out individual plants using hand implements and the use of mechanical excavators” (Department of Conservation, n.d.).The reason may be because mechanical excavation is not efficient as it leaves residual root material and broken root fragments, which can be spread further by water mo...
