into conflict By Marwaan Macan-Markar BANGKOK - The six Asian countries that share the waters of the Mekong River risk being swept into a regional conflict if their governments ignore flashpoints that have surfaced and do not coordinate actions that affect the river, experts here say.

between two solutions and the water molecules move from the region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. The partially permeable membrane only lets through small particles such as water molecules, and larger ones such as sugars can not move through these. So when the concentration of the solution was lower than the potato’s the water diffused from the concentration into the potato, therefore the potato gained mass. The potato cell starts to lose water through plasmolysis when

known as the aqueducts. The Roman aqueducts were a waterway system built to bring a constant flow of water into the empire in order to supply fountains, toilets, homes, etc. The aqueducts were built from a combination of stone, brick and the special volcanic cement, and stretched about 260 miles, 30 miles of which were visible arched structures (Heaton 2003).

fish to catch and there is a way of cooking a dish called, “Ceviche” (.ehow.com… make-ceviche.html) unfortunately one time when we were many miles south of the boarder and no store in just as many miles we had no salt. We built a fire, collected sea water, and filtered it through tee shirts, then boiled it until we had a paste; then we let it dry for about 3 hours and we had our salt. That experience has stuck with me over the years and I have made it for myself, friends, and family. I have even developed

Drinking to good health: A tax On Thailand’s alcohol Introduction In 2012, the Thai Centre for Alcohol Studies claimed that the average Thai citizen (aged 15 or over) consumed around 7.1 litres of pure alcohol per year, bringing the national annual consumption to a staggering 378 million litres. In an attempt to combat this Thailand’s Government increased taxes by 60%. In this report I will aim to show the relationship the annual consumption of alcohol (millions of litres) compared to the

the global distribution of water scarcity Fresh water is a finite resource. 80% of global fresh water is trapped in ice, snow or permafrost. The remaining 20% is mainly groundwater, only 1% of this is easily accessible. Around 1.4 billion people lack clean drinking water, 2.4 million people have inadequate sanitation and 0.5 billion face water shortages every day. The distribution of fresh water is uneven, leading to a ‘water gap’. Water stress is when demand for water exceeds supply, and is quickly
