What is effect of underground storage leakage?
Underground leakage from storage tanks can cause a major threat to our health. Gas stations have underground tanks that hold toxic waste such as gasoline that contain benzene and toluene. These chemicals can cause cancer and affect growing children if they leak into our drinking water. There are underground cleanups but these chemicals quickly through the soil going into the ground water. One gallon of petroleum can contaminate one million gallons of water. One pin prick sized leakage in a tank can leak 400 gallons of fuel in a year and more than one million people drink ground water where delayed clean ups threaten the water quality. There is no safe level of exposure to these toxins that don't cause harm. USTs (underground storage tanks) are one of the most serious threats to our country's water supply. Most tanks were made out of weak steel that rust after 10 years. The most common places that have USTs are gas stations, dry cleaners, service stations, airport and truck refueling stations, and homes. The tanks can also give off gases in homes, contaminate recreational water bodies, and can decrease property values. The leakage of flammable products can cause fires and possible explosions.
What does a hydroelectric power station need to function?
In order for a hydroelectic power station to function, the station will need a large supply of water. The station will also require large generators with turbines in order to create power from the pressure of the water.
Can limit state method be used for design of water tanks?

Where gas is stored?
Gas is typically stored in tanks or cylinders that are designed to contain and transport compressed gases safely. These tanks are made from materials that can withstand high pressure, such as steel or aluminum. Gas can also be stored underground in natural gas reservoirs or facilities specifically designed for storage.
How can a gas station sell a gallon of propane gas?
A gas station can sell a gallon of propane gas by offering it as an alternative fuel option typically at a separate pump station designed for propane refueling. Customers can bring their propane tanks to be refilled or exchange them for a full tank at the station. The gas station must comply with safety regulations and have the necessary equipment to handle propane refills.
Which gas is added in water tanks to kill germs?
Chlorine is commonly added to water tanks to kill germs and disinfect the water. It helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and other pathogens, making the water safer for consumption.
What is the benefit of pumping nitrogen gas into sea water that is stored in steel tanks?
