How do you get the water consumption?
unless you are on a water meter then you have to estimate it as closely as possible based on i.e how much water you flush the toilet with each day, amount of water used in X amount of showers/bathing, food preparation and washing food utensils etc and of course drinking - its not perfect but it gives you the base line to work on if you are looking into water usage and conservation
What factors shape the Rocky Shores?
The factors that shaped the Rocky Shores were a combination of rising and falling tides, and rough waves. These two weathering factors broke apart large areas of the shores.
Are water treatment plants safe?
Be truthful, 100 chemicals! No, water treatment plants do not add 100 chemicals to the water. Many of the chemicals are in the water naturally, collected as it passes through the earth to natural basins then on to rivers and lakes. True, Chlorine is not a natural chemical and it isn't present in raw water, but it has been in use to disinfect water fo 100 years. Floride is a natural chemical and is present in some natural water. In truth if one drinks water with a fluoride content that is to high it will turn ones teeth black. So the addition of fluoride to some water is not needed, but the removal of flouride to bring it down may be needed. Fluoride in large doses can kill, but a water treatment plant may use 20 pounds to treat 12 million gallons of water. The addition of fluoride to water has been going on for over 50 years. The Chlorine content of the water to your house will depend on how far you live from the treatment plant. Do not confuse chlorine with tri-chloromines.
Did you take the water sample that was tested or was it taken by a certified operator? There is a proper way of taking a sample. Did it come from a kitchen sink or the toilet bowl?
Also most states require testing done by an outside lab other than the city's own lab. These results are published, just check with your state health department. You might also check out the results of your favorite restaurant's health department rating. You might just change your favotite restaurant if you do.
If you are asking whether the water from the treatment plant is safe, then I have a few words of warning: There is growing evidence that the chemicals that are added to our drinking water is not as safe as they have been telling us. Chlorine and fluoride are considered to be potentially dangerous if ingested in large doses. If you take either of them in a large enough quantity it will kill you. The problem is that there isn't enough information about what it does to you in smaller quantities. I believe that they are still potentially harmful and can lead to cancer.
IN ADDITION:Not no, but hell no. The water from local water treatment plants are getting dirtier every day. Mostly to sub contracting of the job. If you are on a city or other water system, do yourself a favor and get your water tested by an independent party. I did mine and found out that my chlorine was twice the amount in the average pool. I also found out that human fecal (human waste) was evident in my everyday drinking supply. Local municipalities add up to 100 chemicals to your wqter supply, without your knowledge. This is in addition to the normal 100 chemicals foiund there. Be safe, at least get a water filtration system like a Brita, or Pur . They both work good, but still lack a bit. aif you can, get a reverse osmosis water filtration and a 0% , that means NONE, particulates per million. This will remove all extra minerals and solids from your drinking supply.What is the name for solid raw sewage that is a type of ocean pollution?

Materials can be said to fall into two broad categories - hydrophyllic (they like to get wet with water) and oleophilic (they like to get wet with oil). To clean an oil spill you need a material that likes to get wet with oil, doesn't like to get wet with water and floats in either material. Hay, cellulose, some plastics and many other materials meet these criteria.
Part of the trouble with these materials is that they can start out as good oil absorbers but pick up a lot of crud with the oil that makes it sink. In addition the material has to be put into the oily re in a form that allows easily removable when it reaches its capacity.

Why is pollution a problem for Antarctica even though there are no people living there?
Antarctica is the least polluted continent on earth. However, any pollution in a scientific environment is problematic.
Antarctica is a continent dedicated to science. Depending on the season, there are between about 1,000 and 4,500 people living and working there temporarily. All work studies the health of planet earth.
Absolutely they can and with 5G rolling out it's only going to get worse. have a video explaining it on my either one of my bio links.
How much CO2 a tree convert into oxygen per day?
While this depends on the size and maturity of the tree and whether it is in a temperate climate of a northern climate (and so is "out of business" for about half the year) there are many estimates of tree oxygen production rates. Environment Canada, Canada's national environmental agency, has calculated that one tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year or a bit less than than a pound of oxygen a day (about 12 oz) averaged over the whole year.
Since 44 lb of CO2 contains 32 lb of oxygen, 12 oz of oxygen is liberated from the photosynthesis of about 12/16 x 44/32 = 1.03 lb of carbon dioxide.
yes no doubt bout it
otherwise there wouldn t have been so much of poverty and unemployment
in villages and many other ppl still give birth to chirldren without proper family planning
