Because of Flint's water crisis;
- The number of children with lead poisoning doubled.
- General Motors stopped using Flint's water due to corrosion of their machinery.
- Dozens of people contracted a form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease.
Explanation:
In a bid to save money, Flint City Council resolved to switch its water supply to the city in 2014 and also switching from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) as a provider to Karegnondi Water Authority (KWA). During the process of switching, water from Flint River was used as a temporary source of water for the residents. This water was however not treated and caused corrosion of supply pipes which led to the leakage of lead into the water supply. The water was also filled with other mineral contaminants that made the water hard and later high levels of chlorine were detected. This also caused General Motors to stop using the water because it corroded its machines.
The levels of lead caused lead poisoning especially to children while dozens of adults suffered Legionnaires' disease a form of atypical pneumonia caused by<em> Legionella </em>bacteria in the water. The city officials did not warn residents in time even after com0lanit of foul smell and redness of the water supply.

Answer:
sufficient root system that can support the plant's growth
Abiotic factors (non-living things) in a tropical rainforest include temperature, humidity, soil composition, air, and many others. A few of the many biotic factors (living things) in that forest are toucans, frogs, snakes, and anteaters. All of the biotic factors are dependent upon the abiotic factors
Answer:
Shallow water is the barnacles´ <u>realized</u> niche.
Explanation:
The case of Balanus and Chthalamus is an example of competitive exclusion, which refers to the exclusion of the inferior competitor -<em>Chthalamus</em>- by the superior competitor -<em>Balanus</em>- when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the dominant species occupies part of the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor -<em>medium to low tides</em>-.
The fundamental niche refers only to physic conditions in which a species can live and survive in the absence of any interaction with other species. In the case of <em>Chthalamus</em>, the fundamental niches are the upper intertidal zones, the middle intertidal zone, and the lower intertidal zone.
The <u>realized niche</u> refers to the restricted conditions in which a species can live and survive as a result of environment physic characteristics and the interaction with other species. <em>Chthalamus </em>´ realized niche is the shallow waters. It can not live in the middle intertidal zone because it competes with <em>Balanus</em> and this last species is the dominant one so it occupies that area. <em>Chthalamus</em> can not live either in deep water because it is predated by other species.
