Sunshine lake
By Victor J.

Let's get started, once upon a time there was, an ordinary day in september, the year was 1978. It was a sunny day in the otherwise cold England, families spent their last time in the Sun together before the winter really would kick in. Except one, there's nothing really special about it, there was Sam, our 12 year old adventurer of our little story He was not the most popular boy in his Scout group. Then we have his parents, or, they are not really his parents, it’s his uncle and aunt, they don't really take him as a part of the family, more just a burden. What happened to his parents is a mystery, he has in fact, never really met them.

But enough about that, don't think we're going to dig into the past. Now we know it, so let's hear more about what is going to happen. Sam was going to pack his things to his greatest adventure ever. The reason that it is the greatest, is because he has many plans, cunning plans. Sam had been finished packing his things down, he chose to stack them on top of each other, so it became just as high as a tower. He began to climb up on his stuff so he could look out over the whole city. Because there was a place in the entire city that hit his interest, It was his neighbor suzy, a little dark-haired girl with a large family of 7, a lot of money and with many contacts. Sam had only talked with her 3 times, but he felt pressure around her compared to when he was at home.

It was morning, sam had already been up in one hour before he was picked up by his Scout leader. They should all meet at the Scout hut, and then together go into the largest forest throughout the country.When they arrived at the Scout hut, they were given a map of the forest, but he had no use for, he had his own, with a different route on the. They'd gone over one mile into the deep forest, but sam did not come with them. He found an old bike a half mile further back, as he had ridden on over to suzy. He would run away from home with suzy for the rest of their lives. When he had picked suzy ud, he took her down to the Lake, to take an old boat across. During the trip, Sam told the rest his plans, her face was skeptical, you could almost hear her thoughts. But finally she said yes, Sam was happy, he was leaning along the side of the boat, in order to look down in the water, is was like there was something magical in it. Suzy went over to Sam to look, he yelled stop, but it was too late, they both 2 had fallen into the water. They both began to dive down to the bottom for fun, they looked at each other in a second, one could see that they were thinking the same thing, they could breathe underwater, They had both been conjured into mermaids, now sam never back to his boring life, however, ended the plans nor as they should, but everyone lived happily to their days end

Lake Trout

...The stocking of lakes began in the late 1800s in the wilderness lakes of the western United States. Lake Trout was the most common fish stocked because of its popularity among sport fisherman. Until the 1960s, the environment and its ecosystems were not considered in the process of stocking a body of water. In the 60s, it became widely understood how fragile an ecosystem can be. Now, controversy surrounds the different methods of stocking fish as well as its jurisdiction under the law. In this investigation, fish stocking will be examined in its history, basics, ecological effects, and controversial areas. At the start of the 20th century sport fishing was gaining popularity. With the rise in fishing came the need for more fishing spots. To fulfill this demand, the process of stocking fish was used and became very prevalent. Will Colby,...

Canton Lake

...Reid Haigler Professor Horton English 1213 2/4/13 The release of water from Canton Lake to replenish Oklahoma City’s drinking water has become a huge controversy in northwest Oklahoma. Oklahoma City officials claim that the city has waited as long as possible before pulling water from the lake; however, residents of Canton, Oklahoma don’t buy into this excuse. Is it really necessary to take 30,000 acre-feet of water from a lake that is already at a record low without much chance of recuperation? Besides the argument of whether or not Oklahoma City’s decision is warranted, the economy of the city of Canton as well as the lake’s land and wildlife habitat could experience detrimental losses. Oklahoma’s collective lakes have experienced an intense drought in the past two years. It is due to this drought that this issue has even come to light. Some claim Canton Lake was created as a reserve for Oklahoma City’s drinking water while others claim that it was created for flood control. As The Enid News and Eagle clarifies, “Kathy Carlson, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lake manager, told the group the lake was built for flood control, water supply and irrigation. Later, secondary purposes were included that added wildlife habitat and recreation” (Barron). Regardless of why the lake was created, local residents believe the water release is unnecessary. Canton business owners, residents, and even surrounding towns argue that Oklahoma City residents and businesses have been...

...flowing from different directions come together to form the main river, which ultimately drains into a large water body such as a lake or a sea or an ocean. The area drained by a single river system is called a drainage basin. A closer observation on a map will indicate that any elevated area, such as a mountain or an upland, separates two drainage basins. Such an upland is known as a water divide (Figure 3.1).

Apart from originating from the two major physiographic regions of India, the Himalayan and the Peninsular rivers are different from each other in many ways. Most of the Himalayan rivers are perennial. It means that they have water throughout the year. These rivers receive water from rain as well as from melted snow from the lofty mountains. The two major Himalayan rivers, the Indus and the Brahmaputra originate from the north of the mountain ranges. They have cut through the mountains making gorges. The Himalayan rivers have long courses from their source to the sea. They perform intensive erosional activity in their upper courses and carry huge loads of silt and sand. In the middle and the lower courses, these rivers form meanders, oxbow lakes, and many other depositional features in their Figure 3.1 : Water Divide The world’s largest drainage basin is of the Nile...

Roles of Snakes

...in harm to other organisms (Encarta dictionary 2007). This is one of the ecological problems that are affecting PAU thought others don’t see it as a problem. Thus, the essay will discuss further on how it is started and evidences of its existence, how to minimize or prevent it from eventuating, and how it affects the environment in which we live in and give a real case study of its effects. Eutrophication began to develop on the lakes of PAU when the campus department stopped cleaning the lakes in order to let the birds to lay their eggs on the flowers growing in the lakes. This is evident in lake two. This has led to eutrophication due to the overcrowding of plant life in the lakes. Some proof that the lakes are becoming entropic are that they smell, overgrowth of plants means the level of oxygen is depleted and less penetration of sunlight, algae are starting to cover the surface of the lakes. Therefore, this shows that lakes here at PAU are starting to become eutropic. Prevention is better than cure therefore it is better to prevent the lakes from becoming eutropic than to cure it after it has become eutropic. As stated in the article, ‘How to cure Eutrophication’ (2012, May 17) that a pond that has become eutropic is hard to rehabilitate. This is because not only will you have to fight the nutrients that are currently running off into the pond, but you also have to undo all of the problems that have compounded over the past number of weeks, months, years.

Some people think its not cool to wear a life jacket so they jump into the lake without wearing one. They can swim for a short while but they become exhausted and are not close enough to grab on to anything and they struggle to keep their head above the water.

Eutrophication

...Report Jonathan W. Moore, Daniel E. Schindler, Mark D. Scheuerell, Danielle Smith and Jonathan Frodge Lake Eutrophication at the Urban Fringe, Seattle Region, USA Nutrient pollution and associated eutrophication of freshwaters threaten the ecological integrity and the services provided to humans by lakes. We examined how human residential development influenced the level of lake eutrophication in the Seattle, WA, USA, region. We surveyed 30 lakes and measured 3 indicators of eutrophication: concentrations of chlorophyll-a and phosphorus, and the proportion of algae that are inedible to zooplankton. We classified lakes based on the waste-treatment method for shoreline homes: septic, sewer, and undeveloped lakes. Septic lakes occurred along the urban-rural fringe while sewer lakes occurred near urban centers. Septic lakes were more eutrophic than sewer lakes and undeveloped lakes, as indicated by higher levels of phosphorus and chlorophyll-a. These results suggest that septic systems contribute to the high levels of eutrophication in lakes at the urbanrural fringe. Lakes at the urban-rural fringe represent an opportunity for proactive management of urban expansion to minimize lake eutrophication. A lake without shoreline development. Undeveloped lakes were less eutrophic than lakes with shoreline houses. Photo: D. Schindler.

Importance of Ponds in Crow Lake

...In Mary Lawson’s novel Crow Lake the ponds become an important part of the plot. The pond symbolizes Kate’s childhood, the bond between Kate and Matt, and Kate’s future choice in her career. Kate’s memories of her time at the pond connect her to various events and important moments in her life. While talking about the pond, Kate mentioned “There is no image of my childhood that I carry with me more clearly than” Matt and her younger self lying on their stomachs at the edge of a pond (4). Kate stated how important their trips became to her. At the end of the novel, when Kate and Matt take Daniel to the pond, Kate had a realization. She said “The other ponds, our pond included, are just as they have always been.” (291). After many years of thinking that her brother was a failure, that Marie Pye getting pregnant ruined his chances of going to school and becoming someone with an education. Kate comes to the conclusion that she was the one who grew apart and chose to deny that everything was there just as they have always been. It is not the ponds that changed, it was Kate herself.

Once More to the Lake

...E.B. White Once More to the Lake (1941) One summer, along about 1904, my father rented a camp on a lake in Maine and took us all there for the month of August. We all got ringworm from some kittens and had to rub Pond's Extract on our arms and legs night and morning, and my father rolled over in a canoe with all his clothes on; but outside of that the vacation was a success and from then on none of us ever thought there was any place in the world like that lake in Maine. We returned summer after summer--always on August 1st for one month. I have since become a salt-water man, but sometimes in summer there are days when the restlessness of the tides and the fearful cold of the sea water and the incessant wind which blows across the afternoon and into the evening make me wish for the placidity of a lake in the woods. A few weeks ago this feeling got so strong I bought myself a couple of bass hooks and a spinner and returned to the lake where we used to go, for a week's fishing and to revisit old haunts. I took along my son, who had never had any fresh water up his nose and who had seen lily pads only from train windows. On the journey over to the lake I began to wonder what it would be like. I wondered how time would have marred this unique, this holy spot--the coves and streams, the hills that the sun set behind, the camps and the paths behind the camps. I was sure that the tarred road would have found it out and I wondered in what other ways it would be desolated. It is strange...

Taming the Disaster - Attabad Landslide

...Published: 08/09/2013 Abstract Hindukash - Karakoram - Himalayan (HKH) is a hazard prone region where triggering of landslides due to seismic, geological, hydrological or anthropogenic reasons is a common phenomenon. On 4th January 2010, a massive landslide at Attabad swept the low lying Surat village and blocked Hunza River thereby creating a dam resulting into a huge lake upstream. As a result of preliminary planning, emergency response was launched by Frontier Works Organization (FWO), a civil engineering component of Pakistan Army Engineers on instruction of the Federal Government and a 24 meters deep spillway cut was made through which the water started flowing on 29th May 2010 resulting into lowering of water in the lake. A detailed planning ensued and different proposals including those of Chinese, Americans and FWO were considered and finally based on cost-benefit analysis, the indigenous effort for execution was approved. FWO planned the operation in five stages whereby 675 meters long spillway was to be deepened by 30 meters having a width of approximately 60 meters resulting into lowering of water in the lake by over 50 percent. The working and weather conditions were extreme. The work was only possible in winter season when the water inflow reduced to minimum. FWO with dynamic leadership, meticulous planning, determined execution and methodical working achieved the assigned target within three working seasons and reduced the spillway bed level from 2398 meters to 2368 meters...
