Final Project Water problem



Water problem in Sudan








Water is the source of life, it is very important to human, plants and animals to survive. A lot of countries have water problems, that’s because they are a poor countries and they have weak economy. Some of those countries don’t have sanitation and they dispose sewage water in sea. Other countries have drought and floods; this makes a big deal in the water shortage. The increase in population number and the rising incomes over the time are other reason for water shortage. Some countries have a very hot weather in summer witch will cause the lands to be dry. A lot of countries have large industries and so many farms; they both consume large quantities of water daily. The shortage of water in those countries will cause a lot of problems that lead to death of living organisms. Many industries rely on water in their industrial process, water shortages lead to stop the industries process. Farmers are depending on clean water in plant, and the water shortage cause plant to wither. If they didn’t find a solution a civil war may happen between the powerful and poor citizen.












Sudan has water problems, this problem is partially blamed on the land since it has very low rain and it’s located in very hot and dry place. The Nile River is the main source of water for Sudan and not a lot of people have access to it due to the structure of the land, even if the people have access to it, the Nile itself have shortage. In hot season water may evaporate limiting the capacity to supply water to the people; rainfall in Sudan is random and happens in short season of the year which is a big part why Sudan has water problems. On the other hand there is the current violence taking place in the region which is limiting the water for Sudan’s people. There is competition between Arab and non-Arab farmers they are fighting about who should use the land (LoveToKnow, 1996-2012). About 80% of the people work in agriculture and agriculture is about 40% of the market and accounts for 97% of the water in use. Water is not just income and a job it’s life itself (Dr. Paul J, 2010), these days this situations grows more violent people have been forced to leave their homes to live in refugee camps or other countries, some of them had to give up their land so they can move away from this conflict (LoveToKnow, 1996-2012).











Shortage of water and Unclean water spreads diseases such as cholera and infant diarrhea but if water is managed carefully there will be enough water and clean water in Sudan. There are solutions to the shortage of water in Sudan like repairing old water systems, controlling water utilities using less water for the agriculture by using drip irrigation and focusing more on watershed management. they can increase the price of water to the rich people and maintain the price to the poor people to gain more money to build desalination plants and to be operated with a global team and trained local operators The General solution can be by the main source which is the Nile river if they have more access to the water they will not have shortage of water due to the hot weather which will evaporate the water or because of less of rainfall. There are other solutions for the country itself is to stop the civil war between them because the war makes some places have water and some other cannot access it and sometimes it can cause pollution to water which will cause some diseases or death to the people drinking it and to start to educate the people and teach them not to drink the unclean water because a lot of children they are dead from shortage or unclean water before they reach 5 years

Individual Assigment section 2





Many Inventors was developing the television john logie used the idea of using arrays of transparent rods to transmit images and he started to develop the mechanincal television to electronic that was in 1920 after 9 years the russian inventor Vladimir invented an improved cathode ray called kinescope and that was in 1929 the kinescope helps to get the features of modern picture called electronic color television system but the first one who started to build the color television is Peter Goldmark in 1948 and it starts to be in the market and in the houses at 1960 .



The new development helped to increase the number of television in the market and and it helped to get the high quality images and to get connected with communities, broadcasting and to share main culture and helped in advertising and moving to to the modern life since 1960 and it helped also people to watch their events alive instead of waiting or going to the far places to watch it.

Televisions is everywhere now in every house in every place its used in many ways for entrainment or sport or for programmig and advertising  its a system of producing a distant screen of visible images with sound signals electrical signals converted from optical images by a camera tube .
In 1884 The Telveision was explored by a university student in germany called paul Gottlieb he invent the first television sysytem with electromechanical features, Between 1884 and 1925 many inventors try to build a television but on march 1925 the scotish inventor John Logie Baird gave the first Telveision with images in motion, On June 13 of that year, Charles francis transmitted the silhouette image of a toy windmill in motion, over a distance of five miles from a naval radio station in Maryland to his laboratory in Washignton (The New York Times, June 14, 1925,)

Carbon Emissions



Carbon emissions have increased over the last 30 years ago, especially in the Middle East and to a lesser extent in North Africa. The Arabian Gulf region has some of the oil rich countries with the highest rate of emissions in the world. This large ecological footprint is because the resource is cheap and always available. Qatar had the highest carbon emissions, 10 times more than the average. North African countries have the lowest footprint with less than the half of the global average.

The United Arab Emirates is fourth highest in the world and consequently has launched a project to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases .This responsible behavior is encouraged by the government to make us environmentally aware and to monitor the levels of emissions and to build areas that absorb gases.

Solar Energy Plant




Gamesolar energy plant  is funded by Abu Dhabi’s green Masdar company  and Spain’s Sener a leading  engineering firm. The idea  behind the new Gamesolar plant  is to transfer the  heat energy from the sun using a series of  mirrors and very hot salt. This then turns to liquid and is pumped to steam turbines which then produce electricity. Each year  is targeted to produce  110 gigawatts and they are challenged to maximize its capacity. The building design is so new that it took three  years to complete and was very expensive. The plant needs to control the passage of the  mirrors by a separate control system  centered on a main tower .The term heliostat is used to describe the complete design of the units.
