The system is open.

An open system is one where mass is able to flow in and out of the system. The mass entering this system is the water that is added to the fish tank, and the leaving mass is the waste that is generated.

The primary advantage of using this system is that the quality of the water supplied to the fish may be maintained, meaning the fish are healthy and do not have to live in waste, as they would have to if the system was closed.

The system is an open system. It needs to be open to allow air to contact with the water where the fishes are growing. Allowing air to contact means more oxygen is allowed to penetrate into the water and increases the oxygen content allowing more oxygen for the fish to use. In the process, the first step would be adding water into the fish tank, then the water will be mechanically filtrated to remove dirt, dead plants and feces brought by the fish. The filtrated water will then undergo biological filtration to remove pathogens that are not eliminated during mechanical filtration. The dirt form both filtration will go to the waste area and the clean water will be used back to the fish tank.

Why do some beaches have bigger waves than others??
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer: wherever the wind blows :)

Explantation:  the waves go 90 degrees to the left (southern hemisphere) or the right (northern hemisphere)

also, if it's blowing away from the beach, it causes upwelling,

which brings nutrients from the bottom of the ocean and attracts more organisms.

hope this helps :)

Water harvesting, the collection of rainfall and run off for future use, has been practiced for thousands of years; but in some
lina2011 [118]

Rainwater is normally free from dangerous substances, which makes it perfect for irrigation schemes. Added significant benefit is that it decreases the requirement for fresh water. It is important particularly in regions with low water levels.

Another benefit might water harvesting have in these areas with land erosion due to runoff are as follows;

Reduces Water Shortages

In temperate areas, the strain on public water supply can become hard, even in advanced countries. Rainwater decreases the uncertainty of water shortages. Using rainwater for non-essential actions such as spraying the lawn means less pressure on the supply of safe drinking water.

Replenishes Groundwater

Extensive rainwater harvesting projects with the water collected into storage containers or tanks are important to assure a sustainable groundwater level.

Reduces soil erosion

Heavy rainfall generates erosion because some of the soil is transferred along with the passage of water. Soil erosion exhausts agricultural land of topsoil and nutrients, provides to sediment build up in waterways and, in advanced cases, can turn land inadequate for agriculture. Harvesting rain checks a great chance of soil erosion before it can originate.
