01assign11 Stain

In Victoria's Ugly Stain, it is about sewage treatment in Victoria. If people keep sewage and don’t pay attention on it, it will be really a huge problem. For example, there’s a bunch of animals getting hurt and having infections or poison every year because there are some of the metals that are found in sewage, like copper, lead and mercury. Not only bird and ocean lives face on the pollution, but also human do. The author believes that CRD should spend the money on cleaning sewage because it will probably make people sick. In the beginning of the article, the author makes people know that there is a problem in Strait of Juan de Fuca, and in the middle of the article, the author uses some studies to make readers think that this problem is

Amy Quinton, Environment Reporter, stated in “Massive Public Works Project Will Help Clean Sacramento River” that the Sacramento river is polluted by treated sewage that can occupy 227 Olympic-sized pools everyday. That single statement makes it apparent that sewer treatment plants are too incompetent to protect the environment.

In recent decades the natural water quality has changed significantly. The Barcombe Mills has to face many pollution threats with the most significant the sewage treatment plant which is located there. The dissolved nitrates, phosphates and other harmful chemicals increases since the faecal contain a large amount of ammonia, posing a risk for river 's rich variety of wildlife (Oart.org.uk, 2015).

If you don’t have city sewage you probably have a septic system. A septic system is a system that treats removes and disposes of water. Usually this water is from homes and businesses. Septic systems are responsible for the removal of water waste. If it is working properly it will safely remove filtered water out of harms way and back into the aquifer. If a septic system is not working properly it can be dangerous it may cause the near by water table to overflow causing flooding and water contamination. If this occurs people often must resort to an alternative septic system.

The world has made great technological leaps at the start of the 21st century. One of them being, the “Toilet to Tap project” where we are starting to purify and reuse sewer water for drinking purposes. However, it is hard for some people to wrap their head around the fact that the water they’re drinking, was water that they once showered in. By 2023, the recycling of sewer water will soon be a regular part of a lot of people's lives, whether they like it or not.

In the presentation Reading Critically (n.d.), Dr. Michael O’ Connell discusses how to use critical approaches while reading. Connell explains how the reader should evaluate the text value, the positive aspects of the story, and the parts of the text that make the reader uncomfortable. Each of these stories are successful at making a reader ask all of these questions. All three stories deal with characters with ethical (dilemmas), however each author decides to portray these issues differently.

Dirty and polluted water is one of the world’s biggest healthcare risks that threaten both the quality of life and public health. Pollution may come in the form of inappropriate disposal of garbage, improper treatment of sewage and agricultural run-off. This pollution affects not only the quality of the water but also the wellbeing of the citizens. Still, many people claim that the probability of doing harm by polluting our oceans, rivers and streams is less significant than the cost of disposing of trash or debris properly. Research has shown, however, that proper disposal initially is considerably less costly than the economic and public health costs involved when sewage and garbage is left to accumulate

Other particularly developed nations haven’t been spared either from this menace. The existence of dirty water has been the world 's biggest health risk, and has continued to threaten the quality of life and the general public health in countries like the United States of America. Water from rainfalls running on rooftops into roads and finally into rivers picks a lot of dirt and toxic materials, getting it contaminated. The water sources have become even more vulnerable to
