Sci 275 Week 8 Assignment Energy Resource Plan

Water Resource Plan pen by EMMANUEL MCCLAIN Axia University of Phoenix SCI 275 Instructor TED BREWSTER Eutrophication is the depletion of oxygen in an aquatic ecosystem. Eutrophication occurs when a body of weewee enriched with excess nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus from dead seed material and waste. Nitrogen contaminant largely derived from agricultural fertilizers and emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels. Phosphorus pollution comes from wastewater treatment and detergents. These elements and compounds make their way to coastal beas through the drainage ne iirks of rivers and streams.This nutrient and phosphorus mix results in change magnitude algae growth that makes water cloudy and unhealthy. there are two ways for eutrophication to occur the first is artificial eutrophication through the release of sewage, fertilizers and grizzly water into natural waterways. The second occurs is naturally occurring over lakes and tributaries that flood and peck up dead ve mystifyation, cattle manure and fertilizer. This git lead to damage of biodiversity, global warming, and pollution of drinking water, fish kills, acid rain, and ozone depletion.However, the main culprit behind human caused eutrophication is the phosphorus released from sewage, septic systems and fertilizers. This point source pollution enriches the water and causes a buildup of algae and cyanobacteria in the ecosystem. The process of photosynthesis then starts as the begin feeding on the nitrogen and phosphorus enriched surroundings leading to murky and hard to see through water this is a sign of eutrophication. My sustainability plan is to educate others on the causes of eutrophication and the effectuate it has on ecosystems.increase awareness get out allow umpteen to pinpoint possible sources and causes of eutrophication in their local anaesthetic ecosystems. My first step is to educate myself on the causes and effects of eutrophication. I lead research the internet as w ell as peers reviewed articles. I will then develop an educational tool such as a PowerPoint Presentation to highlight how humans through artificial eutrophication render to the already naturally occurring process. I will include how eutrophication affects humans, animals, fish and make life.I will then inventory a meeting with the partnership board members and invite local residents to discuss eutrophication. 1) I will hand the first three months studying and learning about the cause and effects of eutrophication on ecosystems. 2) I will use the library to research the root to find peer reviewed articles. Using the internet to research magazine, newspaper articles, and ut and EPA websites, I will gather teaching regarding how phosphorous and nitrogen get into ecosystems what it involves and how to stop them from forming. ) I will spend some(prenominal) weeks creating a PowerPoint video display that explains what eutrophication is how it develops, what cause it, and how to prevent it. 4) In the final month, I will schedule the time and day of the presentation. 5) I will invite the community and householders. I will first spend time at home throng the necessary information and research. I will then incorporate this info together to create a cohesive story involving eutrophication. I will then place all this into speaker notes and find scenes for use as pictures in the presentation.In order to schedule a meeting with the inhabitationowners connectedness I will first create time to introduce myself to the homeowners committee. I will use several friends and associates to make psychiatric hospital easier. I will then request permission to present information to the committee at the attached available meeting. After scheduling the meeting, I will proceed to invite fellow businesses and homeowners to attend. The research will aim anyplace from 1-3 months to finish while the PowerPoint presentation will restrain anywhere from 1-3 weeks.Scheduling t ime with the homeowners association will be at the next scheduled meeting. Overall, it will be an ongoing process but should take no more than 5 months to complete altogether. The problems that may occur are that point source pollution is not the only cause of eutrophication. There can be several causes of eutrophication including nonpoint source pollution such as urban runoff. There are areas that have limited supplies of drinking water and count on areas infiltrated by eutrophication.The local vegetation that live and wave in this infected ecosystems are choked and killed off. The dead vegetation allows galore(postnominal) different species of algae to thrive and form. While the lack of oxygen created from the photosynthesis kills many species of fish. There is an upside to this plan the excess phosphorous taken from these areas can be placed into landfills. There is a shortage of phosphorus on land and this would help revitalize many fields. There are several limitations to the plan the plan would need the community as a whole to effectively combat eutrophication.This would require not only the cooperation of the local Home Owners Association but every local business in the community. Eutrophication similarly increases with the rising demand of meats and fossil fuels. Developed nations and developing nations alike will see a rise in eutrophication. The problem overall would be resources funding an operation to clean up local waterways and make local industry and sewage systems compliable can cost millions of dollars easily many cities and states are cash strapped and tightening their budgets.References Eisberg, N.
