'With reference to specific key players evaluate the attempts to manage conflict within the Colorado basin.' [10 marks] A series of treaties and agreements concerning the Colorado River made between 7 states in the USA and also between the USA and Mexico since the early 1900s to the present day have shaped how the water from the river is managed and utilised. More than 10 major dams have been built, to provide hydroelectric power, irrigation and create reservoirs, which promotes industrial and economic growth, but concerns environmentalists with the damage to ecosystems. Additionally, disparity in water needs is putting strain on the Colorado, as some states are taking more than their fair share of the water available, leading to conflict. Much controversy came about due to the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam as part of the Colorado River Compact, which aimed to 'ensure through water storage the delivery of sufficient water to the lower basin during years of drought, so as to allow the upper basin to better utilize its allocation of river flow' as proposed by The USBR (United States Bureau of Reclamation).
Hagg Lake, with a storage capacity of 53,600-acre feet, is the impoundment created by Scoggins Dam. Hagg Lake water is currently used for river flow restoration, municipal water supply and agricultural irrigation needs throughout the Watershed. The reservoir has park and recreation facilities operated by Washington County. The Water Supply Feasibility Study addresses aspects of raising Scoggins Dam by 20-feet and by 40-feet. Raising Scoggins Dam would affect tributaries to Hagg Lake as well as Scoggins Creek downstream of Scoggins Dam.
Specifically, Durkheim’s theory will be looked at under the microscope, as it applies to the “Buffalo Creek Disaster.” The specific levels of social integration will be examined as they relate to this disaster, and the events that make it up both during and after the immediate tragedy. Through examining the events of The Buffalo Creek Flood, social integration and social regulation will prove to relate differently to the outcomes of the event, especially in individual circumstances. Durkheim’s studies, not just those on social integration and regulation, but also those on lives in general, support balance. Durkheim’s vast view of society and both the individualistic and collective roles that are shared by a people explain his later views on detachment (Durkheim, 250). One of the principles of Durkheimian thought is that of social integration: achieved by the combining of multiples individual roles in one society.
Essay 1: Critical Engagement. For my essay, I choose to talk about the beauty of the nature, and how could people be better if they lived in the natural world, but also if they followed the rules that nature uses to survive. For instance, I choose works from John Muir: (“Hetch Hetchy Valley”), Henry; David Thoreau: (Walden),; and finally Annie Dillard: (“Living like Weasels”). Hetch Hetchy Valley is the 16th chapter of the work of John Muir, Yosemite. In this book, he describes the beuty of the valley that it was going to be destroyed because of the construction of a barrage dam to make the agglomeration able to have watertrap water for the city of San Francisco.

Using your field work experience at both AS and A2 to describe the use made of modern technology in data collection, recording and presentation and asses its value (20) Most of the investigations we performed at AS and A2 consisted of using some form of modern technology, this use ranged from helping us measure variables during an investigation and then evaluating and presenting data after the investigation had taken place. One piece of modern technology we used during an investigation was the use of a hydro-prop when investigating the significance of the Bradshaw model on Burbage brook (a river in Derbyshire). We used the hydro-prop to measure how the river’s velocity varied from a downstream location in contrast with an upstream location. The hydro-prop very easy to use as it was light and easy to carry when placed in its suitcase that it came with. The hydro-prop presented the river’s velocity very clearly on the monitor that was attached to its propeller.
Short Answer Question Jerry Gadson III November 18, 2014 Diane Burgess CMGT/410 What is project risk management and what value does risk management provide to a project? Risk management is the method of identifying risks, then classifying and mitigating the discovered risks. The risks are ranked according to their potential to create problems both quantitatively and qualitatively. Big companies such as government agencies and corporations set risk management guidelines so that a process is ready for use on any new proposal. Quantitative risks analysis gives a numeric value for the severity of a risk.
The Garden of Eden’s whereabouts and the flood of Noah’s time both need to be investigated to find the most feasible location for The Garden of Eden. The great flood would have had catastrophic results on the topography of the region or world depending on which view point is used, and gaining information from the flood is necessary to help in showing the plausibility of Eden being in modern day Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the actual location of the Garden of Eden, Biblical scriptures details Eden in the land of “Cush”, Geological and Archeological research place the missing two rivers as the blue Nile and white Nile, and The massive change to the topography caused by the great flood which was able to send Noah’s ark up to mount Ararat. The Garden of Eden paradise of earth was create for man to live and tend too, A utopia on earth filled with all the necessary needs of man. “A river flowed from the land of Eden, watering the garden and then dividing into four branches”.
According to Karl Albrecht strategic radar screen, the one that best fits this particular public issue with TCCC will be Geophysical Environment because it deals with water, which is one of the natural resources found in the ground. Also Geophysical/Geophysics is the science devoted to the study of the physical properties and processes of geological phenomena, including fields such as meteorology, oceanography, and seismology. The issue management process can be applied as follows: Identify Issue: The Coca-Cola Company became aware of the serious underlying issue, which was the extensive utilization of water for their global operations and its resulting consequences; a huge negative impact on the water footprint of communities in which they ran their business. This wasn’t only limiting to water usage but also the amount of pesticides used in the production of their products with their aforementioned pesticides ending up in community water waste. Analyze Issue: What succeeded after Coca-Cola identified
All these elements are highly influenced by the below stated conditions. The main structure of a drainage basin, one of the bullets factors, which can affect the shape of storm hydrograph. It is separated in three different factors, size, shape and relief. The size of a drainage basin determines the distance the water has to cover from the precipitation falling point and the hydrograph flow station. Naturally, the lager the drainage basin the longer the way the water needs to cover the longer the taken time to reach the measuring location.
