Despite the efforts to alleviate the impact of environmental disasters, potential losses in terms of human, economic and other intangible losses are still inevitably increasing. What makes matters worse is that the twenty-first century has been experiencing an uneven explosion in the world’s population growth and exponential growth in the size and number of towns and cities across the world.

Global warming has influenced the business strategies as people try to reduce the greenhouse effect through efficient operations or energy conservations techniques.
If at all, the utility offers various check-off alternatives for replenished power reserves like wind or solar, it is appreciable to choose them for the reason that it may result in earth transforming into a much healthier planet. Lastly, planting trees would remove tons of carbon-dioxide which would otherwise augment global warming.

According to the paper Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the most prevalent of the greenhouse gases. Trees absorb CO2 and when they die, CO2 is restored to the atmosphere. The clearing of forests by mass burning, which is happening at a phenomenal rate in the tropical rain forests, is decreasing the amount of CO2 that is absorbed and increasing the amount that is added to the atmosphere.

According to the bid details, NATFUEL can install systems that can generate up to 100MW units. The generation of biomass-based power will mainly help the local population. That is, as this system needs “natural material” to generate power, the local population can be involved in collecting and assembling those materials.
During recent years the changes that are evidenced in the climate of the world, are a matter of great concern for the scientists and the common people of the world.

The author states that the general health of the stream could be assessed based on the measure of dissolved oxygen. Thus if the level of DO is known the most probable combinations of the parameters causing the change could be estimated. The prediction is undertaken using the artificial neural network (ANN), fussy logic and regression analysis.
New York is an island and the islanders felt that it was time to save their maritime ecology after hearing that aside from the pollution it causes, it also ends up killing aquatic animals if not disposed of properly.

As attested by the commercial and critical success of documentaries such as An Inconvenient Truth, the concern for the issue has reached an extensive audience and attention. This, in turn, has raised the demand for the development and implementation of effective mitigation plans to address the cause of global warming, primarily attributed to atmospheric pollution.
An important dimension fundamental in a market solution to the problem is in regard to quantifying the problem after it is revealed or discovered. From here, it becomes possible for intervention, for instance from the part of a government in enacting statutes and policies that would establish a market-based solution.
The alarmists who contend that everything, from floods and famines to the total annihilation of life on planet earth, is the result of climate change caused by human activity, are becoming increasingly strident. It is now considered politically and socially ‘correct’ to agitate against allegedly human-induced climate change.
The different types of piezometers, both open and closed varieties have been identified; their advantages and disadvantages, the type of soil that each is most suitable for, and their applications have been discussed. It is observed that all the types of piezometers are significantly useful for specific soil qualities, and serve their purpose usefully in different terrains and locations.
This paper has identified practical and sustainable solutions to the global water scarcity and highlighted the challenges faced in resolving the water crisis. The main reasons for the crisis are attributed to poor governance, inadequate water policies, and practices. Changing the methods of how water is used, rather than continually looking for more water resources, has been advocated.
Incinerators burn waste, thereby destroying some waste materials and reducing the volume of others. The primary inputs at most incineration facilities are the wastes to be treated, along with air and additional fuel to support combustion.
