Magnitude of the Problem: Steel production, bulk goods transport, commercial and sport fisheries, agriculture, recreation and tourism are the main industries that encompass the economic capacity of the great lakes. On an average year large ships move 165 million net tons of bulk cargo throughout the lakes. Iron ore, coal and potash are the predominant minerals shipped within the water ways (Wikipedia, 2010). This industry alone provides 138,000 jobs to U.S. citizens and thousands more for Canadians. In addition to all of the commercial traffic there is an estimated 4.3 million recreational vessels in the basin as a result of tourist attractions and fishing (Great Lakes Boating, 2009).

They make customized products, which are not widely distributed, that customers are willing to pay extra for. 2) Explain the competitive pressures facing the aluminum military and workboat industry.
Assignment #3.1 “Determining Causes and Effects-Draft Version” “Determining the Causes and Effects of Water Pollution in Lake Huron” By: Maricel N. Johnson November 28, 2012 Eng 115 (Tuesday Class) Professor: Michael Hunter Lake Huron is the third largest of the lakes with 3,540 feet of water, with it’s average depth is 195 feet and with maximum depth of 750 feet. The Great Lakes, Lake Michigan, Erie, Ontario, Superior and Huron are our largest freshwater system. Lake Huron contains many wildlife and is in danger of being polluted. This pollution is harmful to fish, wildlife animals, and to humans of the region. Determining the cause and effects of water pollution in Lake Huron contributes to finding solutions for cleaning up our waterways and improving public health.
The inter agency approach enables more power due to the police and local government being involved, meaning more can be done and more resources can be accessed for the public’s benefits. The public will be the ones that reap the benefits as the inter agency approach will produce a resilient society which is resistant to disruption and able to cope with emergency events and recover quickly with mimum chaos and disruption. All the services are involved in what is known as the planning cycle. The cycle is one focused on planning however makes it effective and useful as it entails education, exercise, review and rewriting, ensuring the plan is up to date. Up to date plans are vitally important as organisations such as the police and health & social care trust often experience change as does the environment, infrastructure and society we therefore always need to adapt.
Dead Zones There are numerous dead zones found around the world and the number is expected to double in the years to come. One of the largest dead zones is located in the Gulf of Mexico. Studies have shown that nitrates from fertilizers, which are used by the farmers, runoff into the Mississippi River then eventually makes its way to the Gulf creating the Dead Zones. In order to stop the ruination of the natural environment, actions need to be taken immediately if we are to protect and improve our waterways. Dead Zones occur when dissolved oxygen levels in the water get so depleted the water cannot support life.
Brown says, “They (the beavers) alter the wet lands wherever they go” (1). The author is somewhat comparing the humans building their “dams” and the beavers building their dams. However, Brown Jr. is using a small scale comparison to a big scale, but one can easily see the idea he is trying to convey. Brown has also developed a sentence structure that moves in a consistent flow. He also uses nice sentence structures making it easy for
As a former employee stated, Lego management demonstrated a lack of discipline, accountability, and a formal costing system. These issues led to frequent stock-outs and slow moving inventory. Responding accordingly, retailers would become stingy with shelf space. Early attempts to resolve these issues actually made matters worse. In 1999, Lego introduced a restructuring program that included cutting costs by $1B DKK, firing a significant number of executives, and laying off approximately 1,000 employees.
Both cause population within the water system. Agricultural Usage Using the ocean water for drinking of livestock and human usage. In 200 to 300 words, respond to the following: Choose one fresh or ocean water resource challenge and describe in detail why the issue has become a problem and how human activities have contributed to the problem. Water population has become a problem that seems to be out of control and we are running out of time to fix this problem. It is a problem because the level of water population we have now can kill the animals within the water.
Lake Havasu City needs Improvements for their Town Lake Havasu City is a wonderful vacation get away, but for the locals it begins to become dull after living there year around all year. I've been a resident in Lake Havasu City for around 10 years now, putting me in a perfect position to be able to state my opinions on this matter. I think there is a lot of improving to do in this town, but let's face it this town doesn't have enough funds to provide it's community with all of their requests. The top three improvement's I'd request to take place in the Lake Havasu City council to benefit their community would be adding white sand to the beaches, adding a recreational water park, and to invest in an indoor mall.

The mortality rate of mothers dropped from about 18% to 1%. There were even months when no women died! Younger people noticed and agreed with what Semmelweis had discovered – but Semmelweis’s boss still didn’t. Semmelweis was dropped from his job in 1849 and failed to find any other until the following year, when he started work at a hospital in Pest. Again, due to his hand-washing practices, death rates dropped to less than 1% in his hospital, but remained as high as 15% elsewhere.
