What are the water problems in the middle east?
There are serious problems and challenges facing the Arab world today. They require immediate attention:
1. Global weather change and its impact on the Middle East and North African regions, such as the decreasing rainfall and the problem of desertification.
2. Insufficient food production in all Arab states. They all rely on food import to meet their basic needs.

* Ongoing long term discharges from ocean side cities of sewage and other fluid waste * Silt from rivers * Industrial and sanitary seage from inland cities reaching the ocans from rivers * Casual littering from vessels and beaches
== ==
The ocean gets polluted from fertilizer run off from poor agricultural practices, oil washed off roadways and oil spills, and plastic recyclables thrown off ships and washed into waterways and rivers.

How many towns were destroyed in the chernobyl disaster?
1st Answer:
No towns were destroyed. People were evacuated from the nearest town, Pripyat, but there was no physical damage, just radioactive fallout which is invisible.
2nd Answer:
Based on the articles with links below, we can guess 200 or more communities were rendered uninhabitable, including Prypiat, a city that had about 50,000 residents.
The Zone of Alienation is an area in the Ukraine where there was sufficient contamination that people had to be evacuated. According to the article with the link below, there are 90 communities in the Zone. The infrastructure in these communities, after 24 years without maintenance, is crumbling. There were 120,000 people who lived there, including the residents of Prypiat.
According to the article on the History of Belarus, there were an additional 135,000 people there who had to be permanently relocated. Since these people lived in communities similar in size to those of the 70,000 Ukrainian evacuees who had lived outside Prypiat, we might guess that there were well over 100 communities evacuated. In addition, about 2.2 million people in Belarus have to have their health monitored for effects of radiation poisoning.

What would happen to the water cycle if there were no rain?
Well if the rain stopped coming then there would be nothing for the clouds to evaporate, so then there would be no rain and the water cycle would just completely stop
===
No rain means no water cycle, but while the first answer is correct there, it shows complete misunderstanding of clouds and of basic meteorology generally. A cloud does NOT evaporate water, but is an accumulation of water that has ALREADY evaporated and then condensed into a visible aerosol of minute droplets. Rain results from the cloud's internal conditions allowing the droplets to coalesce so become too heavy to stay buoyant in the air.
What are some major problems associated with megacities?

The polythene articles (e.g. six pack rings) affects the survival of animals the aquatic and marine ecosystems. * Polythene is also likely to clog the drains causing problems in the water flow of the pipes. The pipe blockages would cause flooding and the free flow of water is disturbed. * Polethene is harmful for animals if swallowed.

How do they clean up radioactive waste from the ocean?
This is my major, and I have done immense research on this... You can't. That's it, we are pretty screwed unles you drain the entire ocean and clean ALL of the water. Not impossible, but highly unlikely that humans will ever undo all of their destruction. Look up various ideas to removal of high-level radioactive waste, The storage facilities that have leaked into the Snake River. The radiosctive polluting of upstate New York, i think it is ____Alamo facility, the place where the atom bomb was developed. Look it up on line...

What are apparent environmental impacts associated with this?
Wind power is blamed for several impacts on health and the environment:
- Claim: Wind power kills birds that fly into the blades of the turbines. Discussion: Some birds may die this way but no data is available, However bird deaths associated with windows on tall city buildings, home window collisions, car impacts, and free roaming domestic cats are calculated to be in the 100s of millions up to billions a year. Turbine related deaths are probably minimal compared to these
- Claim: Wind power sites create subsonic noise that impacts people's health. Discussion: Not supported by actual science
- Claim: Turbine sites change wind speed and direction altering the climate. Discussion: Wind power sites are small in comparison to the Earth'a surface. Windenergy is shed or modified by trees, landforms, buildings and city heat islands effects and similar effects, The impact of turbines would be insignificant
- Claim: Wind power sites are ugly Discussion: A matter of taste. Smoke belchinf power plants have always been low on the artistic scale to many
