The rough Winter most likely was the cause to 70 deaths. Based on the “Background Essay”, “Then, in the awful winter of 1609-1610, another two-thirds of the settlers died.” Harsh winters were bound to happen. There was nothing anybody could do about it or prevent it. The colonists could have prepared for it, but because they did not have the current technology, they could have not possibly predicted that a rough winter was coming their way. According to “Document D”, in 1607 August through October “Summer sickness kills half the colonists” The summer of 1607 was so severe that it killed 50 people.
The pollution would effect to human being. The first victims are children because they are puny.

There are many people that are always ill because of not getting purified water like us especially in Africa recent studies show that only forty six percent of African people get clean water. By not drinking clean water people can get many problems that lead to death like diarrhea, animals are also a being victim to contaminated water with our fault. Water purifying means that removing any unsafe substance from the specific type of water. Water contamination is caused by many ways but the most important cause is us, most of the contamination is caused by poor sewage system that may lead to chemical contamination and this may contaminate streams and rivers that people drink.

It’s a necessity for living and can not be over looked. There are many regional conflicts involving water in the Middle East. The Jordan River, being a main water source for many years, has become less useful to the people in the region. Increased diversion of the Jordan and its tributary waters for irrigation purposes by Israel and Jordan utilizes most of the river’s water, expect at flood time, before it reaches the Dead Sea. Thus, both the Jordan River and the Dead Sea are shrinking, leading to serious environmental and economic concerns (Held 32).
Drought has a serious impact on food productivity of a land, and even on the life expectancy of inhabitants. The aftermath of drought involves in socioeconomic, ecological issues (WGA, 1996) (Jeyaseelan, 2005; Pongracza et al., 1996). Iran encompassing drylands has been periodically jeopardized by drought events, which have devastatingly affected society and environment (Shamsipour et al., 2008). Therefore, the study of drought needs several sources of datasets. In other words, the design of a planning project for a region for sustainable development, the acquisition of updated data is critical, particularly for countries with arid to semi-arid climates.
The black mamba is Africa’s deadliest snake. Untreated, its bite has a fatality rate of 100 percent, making it a killer among killers on a continent where it is thought that nearly 20,000 people die of snake bites each year, and the residents of Swaziland in southern Africa have suffered losses for generations. With essentially no access to anti-venom, many people turn to traditional healers for help, but their herbal remedies always fail, leaving Swazis feeling fearful and defenseless against one of their nation’s most infamous killers. Swaziland resident Clifton Koen doesn’t really care for snakes, but his wife, Thea Litschka-Koen, is crazy about them. With her husband’s sometimes reluctant help, she has endeavored to change attitudes about black mambas and other snakes found in the area.
