The Easiest Way to Keep Yourself Hydrated

For many, the nursing home represents a scary and uncertain time in their lives. Losing family, a home, and a lifestyle can throw your entire daily routine into disarray. Unfortunately, this usually means that things like diet, hydration, and nutrition are often neglected for larger aspects of daily life. This can result in lower cognitive ability, more fatigue, and worsened mood, especially in patients with pre-existing health conditions.

The Search for Sustainable Water Infrastructure

Water infrastructure is extremely important and has been an integral part of society for thousands of years.  The first water pipes emerged in the Indus River Valley between 4,000 and 3,000 BCE.  Pipes have evolved significantly since then, and their importance has continued to grow.

Saudi Arabia & UAE Investing Heavily in Desalination Projects


According to a report by BNC Intelligence, approximately 48 percent of the world’s daily production of desalinated water is done in the regions of Middle East and North Africa. Desalination is defined as the process of removing salt and contaminants from sea water to produce fresh water. This infographic mentions some of the countries who invest the most heavily in the industry, as water stress continues to grow.

How are Snowflakes Formed in the Atmosphere?


The Art of Snow

Looking at snow up close will probably make you notice that it is formed from thousands of little flakes which have stunningly complex designs.

 

These snowflakes are actually ice crystals. They are formed in the atmosphere, up in the clouds, and transform along their journey to Earth, all thanks to different factors and forces that are involved in the process.

 

Let’s look at the facts on how snowflakes are formed, and what atmospheric conditions are involved that contribute to the stunning details we have come to know them for.

Apple’s Ultra watch priced at $799, is the company’s most expensive watch yet. While Ultra works well for diving activities like underwater pool swims or snorkelling, it does not essentially serve the purpose of a dive computer. Its native app ‘Depth’ mainly tells the wearer basic information like water temperature, time, and current and maximum depth. 

 

There is one good news for owners of Ultra – they can now use the watch as a dive computer by pairing it with Apple's Oceanic Plus app that adds seven more metrics to Ultra. Oceanic Plus works as a dive computer that plans, tracks, and reviews up to 40 meters deep dives.


From the surface time, depth, and gas entered by the diver before their dive, the Oceanic Plus app measures a no-decompression time, or the duration estimated for the diver to stay at a given depth. Other information provided by the app includes tides, water temperature, visibility, currents, GPS entry, exit locations, ascent speed, and battery level along with a summary of the dive. In case of reaching the no-decompression limit or ascending too quick, the app also shows color-coded safety warnings.

Did you know that ⅕ of all Americans have been exposed to contaminated drinking water in the past ten years? Less than .5% of all Earth’s water is fresh and available for consumption, and with the amount of water that we use on a daily basis, it isn’t surprising that we are consuming water that is not quite up to standard.

Why Does My Water Smell Like Eggs?

You might have a problem if your water smells like eggs. But with some tools, we can get rid of such a scent. The odor of an egg is a sign of highly contaminated water. As we learn, the water contains more than 3,000 chemicals.

The excessive amount of sulfur bacteria is often caused by the unpleasant odor of water within the plumbing system or water supply. When there is a lack of oxygen, the hydrogen sulfide gas is created and it is also a cause for the foul smell.

Most of the time, high levels of sulfur bacteria in your plumbing system or water supply are the source of the unpleasant odor of your water. The foul smell is experienced in the absence of oxygen, which inevitably creates Hydrogen Sulphide gas.

Furthermore, if you only notice the smell in your hot water tap, the probable cause may be a chemical reaction. Even though they are not harmful, iron bacteria may also cause this problem in hot water. The perfect breeding ground for iron bacteria is dry and hot water.

UK Water Statistics & Facts

United Kingdom faces a serious shortage of water after 25 years. The Environment Agency's chief executive said UK would no longer be a wet country, as water shortages would arise right after 25 years due to climate change and the rising population in England.

The country is currently facing the' jaws of death,' according to Sir James Bevan. This term is used for an emergency where increased population demand for water exceeds the amount of water available in the state. Trump also said in his speech that the UK won't have enough water for the population unless the water boards cut water supply for people by a quarter.

After 25 years, due to water scarcity, he will not have more than 90-100 liters of water. Thanks to flooding, the United Kingdom also loses air. Water that could be used by 20 million people is projected to be wasted every day through pipe leakage. Within 25 years, 11 countries in the UK are expected to run out of water. Individuals like James Bevan are constantly advising people to use water effectively for this troubling situation.

A Game Changer for Consumer Packaged Goods

Due to mounting evidence of its health benefits, it is increasingly used as a key ingredient in consumer packaged goods such as food, beverages, and health and wellness products. This burgeoning market is estimated to grow from $5 billion in 2019, to $23.7 billion by 2023. However, major challenges with existing products need to be addressed, such as poor bioavailability, or the rate at which CBD is absorbed into the bloodstream.

When CBD is extracted from the cannabis plant, it takes an oil-based form. Like any oil, it is hydrophobic, meaning it will not dissolve in water. As a result, CBD oil resists absorption into the bloodstream—with 96% of it being flushed from the body without ever having an active effect. Nanoemulsion is the most common method of creating CBD-infused products. The process involves pulverizing cannabinoids into nano-sizes, and combining them with an emulsifier and a carrier oil, in an attempt to create a water-soluble CBD.

Deep Sea Creatures

The term deep sea creature refers to organisms that live below the photic zone of the ocean. These creatures must survive in extremely harsh conditions, such as hundreds of bars of pressure, small amounts of oxygen, very little food, no sunlight, and constant, extreme cold. Most creatures have to depend on food floating down from above.
