Answer:
In the aftermath of the nuclear crisis in Japan, the country engaged in a massive cleanup. It cleared tons of debris, rebuilt roadways and bridges, and demolished and cleared out damaged buildings. In the future, plans should be in place for organizing citizens in cleanup efforts, making the streets safe during cleanup, and safely disposing of debris.
In addition, public transportation and airports need to function as soon as possible after such an event. Therefore, government staff should develop disaster-recovery plans for the most vital transportation systems. Local governments also need to provide short-term and longer-term housing for those who lose their homes. Designated shelters, such as schools or other community buildings, should be made ready for this purpose. Governments also need to help people get insurance payments, loans for rebuilding, and sound advice for where to locate new homes and how to strengthen them.
These early Mesopotamian cities engaged in a form of socialism where farmers contributed their crops to public storehouses, out of which workers, like metalworkers, or builders, or male models, or whatever, would be paid uniform wages in grain.
Answer:
Precipitation infiltrates into the subsurface via sinkholes and flows through subterranean passages to the Green River Valley.
Explanation:
Precipitation: The greatest factor controlling infiltration is the amount and characteristics (intensity, duration, etc.) of precipitation that falls as rain or snow. Precipitation that infiltrates into the ground often seeps into streambeds over an extended period of time.
As precipitation infiltrates into the subsurface soil, it generally forms an unsaturated zone and a saturated zone. In the unsaturated zone, the voids—that is, the spaces between grains of gravel, sand, silt, clay, and cracks within rocks—contain both air and water. Although a lot of water can be present in the unsaturated zone, this water cannot be pumped by wells because it is held too tightly by capillary forces.
The upper part of the unsaturated zone is the soil-water zone. The soil zone is crisscrossed by roots, openings left by decayed roots, and animal and worm burrows, which allow the precipitation to infiltrate into the soil zone.
Water in the soil is used by plants in life functions and leaf transpiration, but it also can evaporate directly to the atmosphere. Below the unsaturated zone is a saturated zone where water completely fills the voids between rock and soil particles.
