Bodies of Water

The Brownsover Arm actually came first. It was part of the original route of the northern section of the Oxford Canal, built in the late 18th century by James Brindley. An early canal engineer, he followed the contours of the land, avoiding the complexities of too many tunnels and embankments His routes meandered all of over the countryside, and were groundbreaking (literally) when first built. By the 1820s, when competition from the railways intensified, some canal companies sought to speed up commercial travel, and so ungraded their canals by straightening them. The North Oxford was one such canal. Where Brindley's old route was cut, truncated lengths like the Bownsover Arm were left. Some remained in use for many years, while others gradually silted up and disappeared. Anyone travelling the North Oxford today can see some of these lost arms where towpath bridges cross them.

The Palk Strait is a strait between the southern tip of India and the northwestern coast of Sri Lanka. It connects the Bay of Bengal in the northeast with the Gulf of Mannar in the southwest. The strait is known for its shallow waters and strong tidal currents.

When air containing water in gaseous form (any air with a relatively humidity greater than zero) rises, it cools and the water vapor condenses into liquid water in small "droplets" and forms a cloud. Or in short: a "cloud" is formed.

135 million gallons = 0.62 million cubic metres.

There are generally two main types of lagoons: coastal lagoons, which are located along coastlines and are influenced by tides, and inland lagoons, which are formed in continental interiors and are typically freshwater or brackish water bodies.

A narrow passage of water usually wider than a strait is called a channel. Channels often connect larger bodies of water and can be used for navigation.

Discharging untreated wastewater into a river can lead to water pollution, harming aquatic life and ecosystems. It can also contaminate drinking water sources and pose health risks to human populations living downstream. Additionally, the increased levels of nutrients can lead to algal blooms and oxygen depletion, further impacting the river's ecosystem.

A string or cluster of islands is known as an archipelago. The five main archipelagos on our planet are Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, the British Isles, and New Zealand.

The Shetland and Orkney islands are part of Scotland and are governed by the Scottish government. They have a level of local autonomy through their respective councils, the Shetland Islands Council and the Orkney Islands Council, which manage local affairs within the islands.

The Skagerrak strait is located between Norway, Sweden, and Denmark in northern Europe. It connects the North Sea to the Baltic Sea.

The Canary Current is located in the North Atlantic Ocean gyre. It flows southward along the western coast of Europe and Africa, from the waters off Iceland to nearly the equator.

Harmful chemicals on the land can seep into groundwater through a process called leaching, where rainwater or irrigation water carries the chemicals through the soil and into the groundwater. Additionally, some chemicals can be directly discharged into the ground where they can infiltrate and contaminate the groundwater.

The stretch of water that separates the North and South Islands of New Zealand is called the Cook Strait. It is known for its strong currents and unpredictable weather conditions.

The three modern nations on the Arabian Peninsula are Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Oman.

The Kyber Pass links Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is a mountain pass in the Hindu Kush mountain range and has been historically significant for trade and military purposes between the two countries.

Water constitutes the majority of living tissue by mass and percent. Humans, as are all animals and plants watery organisms. Water being a universal solvent is the predominant component to blood, literally our river of life. water has other functions from hydration, digestion and lubricating our joints also.

Some of the most well-known straits in the world include the Strait of Gibraltar, Bering Strait, Strait of Hormuz, and Strait of Malacca. Other notable ones are the Torres Strait, Tsugaru Strait, and Bab el Mandeb. There are many more straits around the world, totaling around 124 in total.
