What are some things that may be picked up and end up in stormwater headed for a water body?

Geography
1 answer:
MAXImum [283]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The answer is: Pollutants like <u>plastic, chemicals, paint, debris, sewage overflow</u>

Explanation:

During heavy precipitation, the rainwater or the stormwater that doesn't soak into the ground due to the presence of impervious surfaces, is known as the stormwater runoff.

This runoff picks up various <u>pollutants like plastic, chemicals, fertilizers, pesticide, paint, debris, pet waste and sewage overflow, that contaminates the local lakes, streams and rivers, before reaching the ocean.</u>

Which natural region of Texas uses greatly it's underground water table
natita [175]
Ogallala 
The Ogallala aquifer reaches out through 48 provinces of the Texas Panhandle and is the southernmost expansion of the biggest aquifer (High Plains aquifer) in North America. The Ogallala Formation generally Miocene to early Pliocene age comprises of heterogeneous sequen-ces of coarse-grained sand and rock in the lower part, evaluating upward into dirt, sediment, and fine sand. In Texas, the Panhandle is the most broad district inundated with groundwater. In 2008, very nearly 96 percent of the water pumped from the Ogallala was utilized for water system. 
Inlet Coast Aquifer 
The Gulf Coast aquifer frames an unpredictably formed belt that parallels the Texas coastline and reaches out through 54 districts from the Rio Grande northeastward to the Louisiana outskirt. The aquifer framework is made out of the Catahoula, Oakville, Fleming, Goliad, Willis, Lissie, Bentley, Montgomery, and Beaumont arrangements. 
This framework has been isolated into three noteworthy water-delivering segments alluded to as the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers. In 2008, civil utilizations represented 62 percent and water system represented 25 percent of the aggregate pumpage from the aquifer. 
Edwards (Balcones Fault Zone) 
The Edwards (BFZ) aquifer frames a tight belt stretching out through 13 regions from a groundwater partition in Kinney County through the San Antonio zone northeastward to the Leon River in Bell County. An inadequately characterized groundwater isolate in Hays County hydrologically isolates the aquifer into the San Antonio and Austin districts. Water in the aquifer happens in cracks, honeycomb zones (or intergranular pores), and arrangement diverts in the Edwards and related limestone developments of Cretaceous age. 
Carrizo-Wilcox 
Stretching out from the Rio Grande in South Texas northeastward into Arkansas and Louisiana, the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer gives water to all or parts of 66 provinces. The Wilcox Group and overlying Carrizo Sand frame a hydrologically associated arrangement of sand locally interbedded with earth, residue, lignite, and rock. 
Trinity 
The Trinity Aquifer comprises of basal Cretaceous-age Trinity Group arrangements stretching out through 61 regions from the Red River in North Texas to the Hill Country of Central Texas. The aquifer is involved the Twin Mountains, Glen Rose, Paluxy, Hosston, and Hensell developments. Where the Glen Rose diminishes or is truant, the Twin Mountains and Paluxy developments combine to shape the Antlers Formation. In the south, the Trinity incorporates the Glen Rose and hidden Travis Peak developments. Water from the Antlers divide is utilized fundamentally for water system in the outcrop range of North and Central Texas. 
Edwards-Trinity Plateau 
This aquifer underlies the Edwards Plateau, reaching out through 40 regions from the Hill Country of Central Texas westbound to the Trans-Pecos area. It comprises of sandstone and limestone arrangements of the Trinity developments, and limestones and dolomites of the Edwards and related limestone developments. Groundwater development is for the most part toward the southeast. 
Seymour 
This aquifer comprises of separated territories of alluvium found in parts of 25 north-focal and Panhandle districts in the upper Red River and Brazos River bowls. Eastbound streaming streams amid the Quaternary Period kept irregular beds of inadequately arranged rock, sand, sediment, and mud that were later dismembered by disintegration, bringing about the disconnected remainders of the development. Singular collections shift enormously in thickness, however a large portion of the Seymour is under 100 feet. 
Hueco-Mesilla Bolson 
These aquifers are situated in El Paso and Hudspeth areas in far West Texas and happen in Tertiary and Quaternary bowl fill stores that expand northward into New Mexico and westbound into Mexico. The Hueco Bolson, situated on the eastern side of the Franklin Mountains, comprises of up to 9,000 feet of mud, sediment, sand, and rock and is an essential wellspring of drinking water for both El Paso and Juarez, Mexico. 
Dell City inundated field 
Dell City water system from the Bone Spring– Victorio Peak minor aquifer in Hudspeth County. For a guide of the 21 minor aquifers of Texas, click. 
Found west of the Franklin Mountains, the Mesilla Bolson comes to up to 2,000 feet in thickness and contains three separate water-delivering zones. 
Pecos Valley 
Situated in the upper Pecos River Valley of West Texas, this aquifer, once in the past called the Cenozoic Pecos Alluvium, reaches out through 12 regions. In 2008, 72 percent of groundwater pumped from the aquifer was utilized for water system, and the rest is pulled back for mechanical utilizations, control supply, and city utilize. Comprising of up to 1,500 feet of alluvial fill, the aquifer possesses two hydrologically isolate bowls: the Pecos Trough in the west and the Monument Draw Trough in the east.

Explain the environmental challenges facing a rapidly developing Asia. Identify three challenges faced on this continent.
Lena [83]

Answer:

1. Endangered Species conservation

2. Air Pollution

3. Destruction of Coral Reefs

Explanation:

"Asia sits almost entirely in the tropics, and as such, is covered in rich, dense, biologically diverse jungle." Poachers, large companies exploiting land, small farms,(Etc), have always been a large factor of how hard it is to conserve the endangered species.

Small farms and large companies burn fires trying to clear land of trees(among other things.) So that then they can exploit the land the following year.

Over the past several decades, Asia's famous coral reefs have always been in dismay. This is the result of several factors like; 1. The ocean absorbs most of the carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere each year. While this helps reduce the effects of global warming (temporarily), it also means that more of that carbon is going to be converted into carbonic acid, increasing the ocean’s acidity level.
