Answer:

Each year, billions of pounds of trash and other pollutants enter the ocean. Where does this pollution come from? Where does it go? Some of the debris ends up on our beaches, washed in with the waves and tides. Some debris sinks, some is eaten by marine animals that mistake it for food, and some accumulates in ocean gyres. Other forms of pollution that impact the health of the ocean come from sources like oil spills or from accumulation of many dispersed sources, such as fertilizer from our yards.

The majority of pollutants that make their way into the ocean come from human activities along the coastlines and far inland. One of the biggest sources of pollution is nonpoint source pollution, which occurs as a result of runoff. Nonpoint source pollution can come from many sources, like septic tanks, vehicles, farms, livestock ranches, and timber harvest areas. Pollution that comes from a single source, like an oil or chemical spill, is known as point source pollution. Point source pollution events often have large impacts, but fortunately, they occur less often. Discharge from faulty or damaged factories or water treatment systems is also considered point source pollution.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Increased population size

Explanation:

A population bottleneck can be defined as the decreased in the size of population which may occur due to disaster , environmental factors or activities carried out by humans which in turn leads to reduction in population size.

Therefore INCREASED POPULATION SIZE is an events which could not be caused by a population bottleneck due to the fact that increase in population size leads to increase in the numbers of individuals or people in which this number of people can only be increased in size rather than decreased in size when been compare to population bottle neck which dramatically reduces the size of a population.

Answer: I hope this helps:) read all of it All living organisms on Earth need water to survive. Many, including humans, require fresh water, but only 3% of the water on the Earth's surface is fresh water. How is fresh water important to you? How does this affect the way you manage your use of fresh water.

The kits were estimated to save 7 - 10 gallons of water per person per day. Tampa estimates that when all the homes in Tampa are similarly retrofitted, more than 2. 1 million gallons of water per day will be saved. Educational efforts in Tampa focus on schools. A number of contests have been conducted. Winning poster and limerick entries are compiled into a water conservation calendar, which is then distributed to the general public. Additional efforts in Tampa include a pilot awareness campaign, an expanded retrofit program, toilet-replacement incentive projects including a rebate program, implementation of water checkups for large residential water users, and enhanced in-school curriculum-based education (RMI, 1991).

South Florida Water Management District In 1992, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD, which includes Palm Beach, Dade County, Florida) joined the St. Johns River Water Management District (in northeast Florida) and Southwest Florida Water Management District (Tampa, Sarasota, etc. ) in sponsoring a statewide mass-media conservation campaign that urges residents to conserve water and use it wisely. The campaign features public service spots that urge residents to use xeriscaping and offers other water-saving tips. Educational brochures and how-to guides, an informative video on how to xeriscape a typical Florida yard, and a quarterly newsletter were all produced to support this educational effort.

The Sfwmd's Six-Point Conservation Policy appeals to local governments to adopt conservation measures. The policy advocates the adoption of local xeriscape ordinances, leak detection programs, ordinances that encourage the residential and business use of low-volume plumbing, rate structures that reward conservation and reduced use, comprehensive public education programs, and daytime irrigation bans. In other programs, the SFWMD offers technical assistance to cities and counties in implementing rain switch ordinances (which require automatic sprinklers to be turned off during rain storms) and water reuse systems, and the district is supporting a statewide Compost Utilization Project. The SFWMD is also a sponsoring member of the states Xeriscape/Water Wise Council Steering Committee, formed to help implement the states Xeriscape Law, passed in 1991. Through conservation partnerships formed in 1992, the SFWMD assisted the Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Lee county governments in developing daytime irrigation ordinances, and it is urging other counties to adopt daytime irrigation bans (Kirchhoff and Nicholas, 1993).

California State of California The State Department of Water Resources provides general information and offers technical assistance with water conservation practices to all local water agencies in California.
