Water Flow

Long time ago there were no pollution whereas nowadays there are a lot of pollution. Most people who work in factories throw their waste inside rivers. One of the most important researches said that 3.575 million people per year die because of water diseases. The human body is 70% water so we need it a lot. But some countries can’t give clean water to the people. The 10 liters of water costs 2 US dollar per a day. Suez is daming the Ganges River to sell water back to Indian citizens at 10 times the price it had been. There are 7600 community – built water harvesting projects in India. The Hazards Centre and the People's Science Institute tested nine water samples within a one kilometer radius of the Coca-Cola bottling plant in the south Indian state of Kerala and concluded that "the total natural water resources surrounding the Coca-Cola plant in Plachimada are contaminated." All the water samples, collected from open wells, hand pumps and borewells in the area, failed to meet the safety standards for drinking water prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) - ensuring that the groundwater was no longer suitable for human consumption. All the samples showed excessive levels of chromium, eight samples showed excessive levels of cadmium and six samples showed excessive levels of lead. The water samples were collected in November 2005. In addition to the risks posed to the community by the presence of heavy metals in the water, the report also cautioned that cadmium and lead can enter the body easily through the food chain. The report also noted that the community did not experience water quality problems prior to the establishment of the Coca-Cola bottling plant, and that the deep aquifer systems have now been contaminated. The report also notes that agricultural production has been negatively affected in the area. The report is the latest in a series of studies that have confirmed pollution by the Coca-Cola company. The Kerala State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) had also found high levels of lead and cadmium in the sludge from Coca-Cola's plant, and ordered the plant to "stop production of all kinds of products with immediate effect" on August 19, 2005. The Coca-Cola bottling plant in Plachimada has remained shut down since March 2004, and the Coca-Cola company has challenged the closure in the courts. In spite of the growing body of evidence, the Coca-Cola company continues to maintain that there is no pollution by their plants. The Coca-Cola company was also distributing its sludge to farmers in the area as fertilizer. Tests conducted in 2003 by the Central Pollution Control Board of India, as well as the British Broadcasting Corporation, confirmed that the sludge contained high levels of cadmium and lead, effectively making it toxic waste. Coca-Cola was forced to stop the distribution of the sludge by government authorities, and ordered to treat the waste as hazardous waste. "The state must permanently shut down the Coca-Cola plant in Plachimada. The company has destroyed the natural resources in the area through negligence, and we will continue to demand that Coca-Cola be held responsible for the damages, including criminal and financial liability," said R. Ajayan of the Plachimada Solidarity Committee, an alliance of groups in the state of Kerala working actively to challenge the Coca-Cola company.

Bugatti and Porsche 911 Turbo



Bugatti and Porsche 911 Turbo

This invention change the world because nowadays we can move from place to place in a short time. In this essay I’m going to talk about the similarities and the differences between the Bugatti and the Porsche.
About the Bugatti Veyron 14.6 and the Porsche 911 Turbo to be specific.
I’m going to talk about the similarities. There aren't many because every company wants to be different from the others. The first similarity is that they are both German companies. The last similarity is that both of them are at least a hundred years old. Although, there are similarities between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo there are also differences. The first difference is that the Bugatti top speed is much faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo. This means the top speed of the Bugatti can reach 253 mph while the Porshe 911 Turbo can only reach 192 mph. Another difference is that the Bugatti's horse power is much more powerful as opposed to the Porsche 911 Turbo which is the weaker. The Bugatti's horse power is 1001 hp while the Porsche 911 Turbo is only 180 hp. The final difference is that the Bugatti’s weight is more than the Porche 911 turbo. The weight of the Bugatti is 5000 b but the Porche 911 turbo is weighted 3650 to 370 ib.
In my opinion , the Bugatti is the best because it is the faster and easier to drive it. In addition the Bugatti car has higher features of horse power, weight and top speed.
