Hello, this is my final term paper for envsci-150L.
There are mcqs and 2-3 short answers. There are some mcqs which need help of diagram i have already attached those too.
Please feel free to ask any questions if needed.

The Project consist in focusing in how to prevent flooding. It has to be frictional but possible and based on the real world. Example: Building an artificial lake stocked with fish that can be caught by fishing. Resources MUST be primary and secondary literature like: journal, articles, conference papers, bibliographies, review articles. Do not use Tertiary source like Textbooks, encyclopedias,guides,hand books. The locations you should be focusing on is Asbury, NJ and Jones Beach, Long Island. I attached some files for ideas. Pictures must be included and cited.

In this project you will research and write an essay on xeriscaping and its advantages and disadvantages.
Read the background information about your project.
Research the topic thoroughly using reliable sources and communicate your findings by authoring a research paper.
BACKGROUND:  Our world is changing, and we need to change too. As drought becomes more common in areas like the southwestern United States, we need to modify our water usage to alleviate the effects. Conserving water is important to ensure this resource is available for future generations. There are many small actions that you can do around your home and in your community to conserve water, such as collecting rainwater or turning off the tap when you brush your teeth. Another way to conserve water is to change our surroundings.
Utilize and examine reliable sources of information to discover what is already known about xeriscaping. Be sure in your research paper to discuss and communicate answers to the following points:
describe what xeriscaping is and what is involved in a successful xeriscaping project
describe the history of xeriscaping
describe where xeriscaping is best implemented and why
research and discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of xeriscaping

The attached files are the prompt, current work, and potential sources. Add on to the current work based on the comment. You may use from potential sources or find other sources.
Comment: Begin with contextualizing the issue of mining in the DRC. Who has contributed to it. When did it begin. When/How/Why did it become a problem. How does this issue cause a specific problem (soil degradation OR water pollution) After you continue this conversation, think about how/ this issue effects a SPECIFIC demographic (how does this issue effect Children OR miners Or etc)
Describe this issue in full. 
For example, the structure of the paper can start from the context of the issue, then to how water pollution caused by cobalt mining affects the community, and then focus on how it affects children specifically

Please can you produce a 7 minute long presentation about “Noise in urban ares” and can you also include with it a script to present with, in which i can just read off it. I dont want presentation notes, i would like a full sentence script that i can read word for word whilst presenting. All criteria of the presentation i have attached. Just read through it and it has all the instructions and external links to help if needed.

Read and strictly follow the instructions in the file called ‘Research Report 2 2024’.
The report must involve some of the theories mentioned in topics 5-8. The five documents related to topics 5-8 are attached below. 
There is an example of coding table attached below.
Here are also some readings that may help and you can cite.
