In some fracturing jobs—like those in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and New York—more than 40,000 gallons of fracturing chemicals, with no company disclosure of the chemical constituents, can be used at a single well. Because the process is exempt from most federal oversight, it is overseen by state agencies that are spread thin and have widely varying regulations. A recent report by the Ground Water Protection Council revealed that only four of the 31 drilling states it surveyed have regulations that directly address hydraulic fracking and that no state requires companies to track the volume of chemicals left underground. One in five states doesn't require the concrete casing used to contain wells to be tested before hydraulic fracking. Approximately one‐third of the millions of gallons of water used in fracking returns to the surface, where it is either reused or trucked to treatment plants.
3. The coldest temperature ever recorded was a negative 126.9 degrees fahrenheit in Vostok Station, Antarctica. 4. Between evaporation and falling as precipitation, a droplet of water may travel thousands of miles. 5.
The air quality on the shoreline of Lake Huron is the worst in the south Ontario area. (Sivers, A, n.d) Sediment loading is known to high levels of deferred solids being washed into creeks and rivers and carried down into the lake. (Sivers, A, n.d) Sediment loading can also be caused by dredging which can cause a decrease in food source for the aquatic life. With having foreign vessels follow in and out of the lake from the Atlantic is also causing problems. With the vessels having foreign aquatic life attached to the bottom of the ship and also leaking fluids into the lake while passing through.

Sweden , for instance, has spent $14 Billion and rising to manage its radioactive waste and is now decommissioning its reactors. Nuclear power is not green due to all the points made above and also due to the following additional facts; namely that nuclear power plants use a great deal of water, uranium is a non-renewable resource and there is significant energy and resources needed to build nuclear plants. CONS - Nuclear power is not a renewable source of energy. High-grade, low-cost ores will run out in 50 years - It is not "greenhouse gas" free, producing more emissions than some renewable power sources such as wind - It would take at least 10 years and several billion dollars to build Australia's first nuclear power station - Plants are potential targets for terrorists attacks; smuggling of radioactive material is on the rise; no complete solution to the disposal of radioactive waste has been
The Cuyahoga River is pretty short only 100 miles ending dumping out into Lake Erie. As every river it is cricked, shallow in places, and narrow. It flows south then to the north. In 1769 a group of surveyors led by General Moses Cleveland traveled to Northeast Ohio towards Lake Erie and drew lines for different lots and towns. One of these towns struggled through settlements on a useless river this town is Cleveland.

We are losing more and more water. Water is the one of the most essential elements known to life. Without it, there wouldn’t be any. It is estimated that California has only enough water in storage for the next 12 to 18 months. 60 percent of our water supply comes from the snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, providing drinking water for 22 million people and over 600,000 acres of farmland.
