"How can we balance the urgent need to protect endangered ecosystems and biodiversity with the growing demands of human development and resource consumption?"
conservation
How do emissions from coal-fired power plants in the Midwestern United States contribute to environmental damage in the Northeast U.S. and Canada?
acid rain
I am the river's empty bed,
Resting until the clouds have bled.
A flat and fertile, quiet place,
Where water comes to take up space.
I hold the rush and slow the flow,
Then wait for summer herbs to grow.
floodplain
I make sure that my community has fresh drinking water.

How do excessive nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) combine with environmental factors like climate change to cause Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), and what are the specific ecological and human health consequences when these blooms occur?
algal bloom
"How do excessive nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) in warm, calm, and sunny water conditions trigger harmful algal blooms (HABs), and what are the primary environmental and health consequences when these blooms decay?"
algal bloom
I am a river that cannot flow,
Made of ice and packed-down snow.
I move very slowly, carving the land,
With a freezing, cold, and heavy hand.
What am I?
Glacier
I make sure that food is safe to eat. I'm known as a food safety officer.
Agricultural Inspector
I have no voice, but I make the forests sigh,
I fall from clouds, though not from the sky.
Born from factories and engines that roar,
I make the statues weep, and the lakes turn sour.
I look like water, but I bring decay,
Turning green to gray.What am I?
Acid Rain
How can we balance the urgent need to protect endangered ecosystems with the economic and social needs of local communities that rely on those natural resources?
conservation
I am a man-made valley, a deep, silent hold,
I drink up the rain and the mountain’s cold.
I can power a city or quench a dry land,
But I die without walls to keep me at hand.
I sit very still, though I’m often called "running."
reservoir
I build roads without asphalt,
And create cities without houses.
I bring rivers to the desert,
Yet I cannot hold a drop of water in my hands.
If I fail, you are thirsty; if I succeed, you don't even know my name.What am I?

A common, critical question asked during a deposition in a personal injury case is: "What specific, day-to-day activities have you been unable to do, or had difficulty doing, as a result of the injuries you sustained in this accident?". This question helps establish damages and evaluate the impact on your life.
deposition
I live in a dark, hidden, and rocky home. I fill up the spaces where creatures don't roam. I fall from the sky, but hide from the light. You can pull me up to make things bright. I move very slowly, under your feet, and I’m the main source of the water you meet.
Ground Water
I have no roots, but I help businesses grow,
I track the footprint, high and low.
I fight for the future while working today,
Turning waste into value along the way.
I speak in metrics, carbon, and green,
Keeping the corporate world clean.What am I?
