    Hydrofracking is a new development in natural gas extraction. In addition, hydrofracking refers to hydraulic fracturing, a technique in which large amounts of water, combined with smaller amounts of chemicals and sand, are pumped under high pressure into a drilled gas well. However, concerns have been raised regarding with this is the fact that the drills can hit water sources and contaminate our water. Between hitting water sources and releasing greenhouse gasses, the process of hydraulic fracturing can be and often is harmful to both our environment and health.…

    Many on-site storm water treatment technologies have been developed throughout the world. On-site storm water management devices typically receive storm water runoff from small-scale impervious areas such as individual lots and aim to temporarily detain runoff whilst simultaneously removing contaminants from the fluid. These treatment technologies are generally mechanical in nature, and utilise baffles and filters to physically treat the storm water.…
