The AMB allowed the elimination of oil reservoirs on compressors for the NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. ( NGTL ) gas pipelines in Alberta, Canada.

Decomposing organic material in the reservoirs further added to the high levels of methyl mercury ( a highly bio-accumulative environmental toxin ) in local lakes and rivers, a growing concern to many environmentalists that stems from geology and atmospheric pollution from the coal-fired electric generation plants of the United States and Ontario, Canada, but this impact has been shown to dissipate after 20 to 30 years.

However, greenhouse gas emissions from the northern reservoirs of the La Grande complex are between 2 and 8 percent of the emissions associated with any conventional ( fossil fuel ) power generation ( and from 1 to 4 percent of the greenhouse emissions of the typical coal-fired power generation plant of Canada or the United States ).

This category is for articles pertaining to reservoirs in Canada.

The film was shot in Huntingburg, Indiana where the film is set ( although in reality there is no major river or dam nearby – only two reservoirs near the town ), as well as a $ 6 million set in an aircraft hangar in Palmdale, California where the B-1 Lancer bomber was manufactured, and some exteriors in Etobicoke, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Nine major tributaries lie within the area that drains to these two reservoirs: Canada de los Osos, Hunting Hollow, Dexter Canyon, and Larios Canyon Creeks drain to Coyote Reservoir ; Otis Canyon, Packwood, San Felipe, Las Animas, and Shingle Valley Creeks drain to Anderson Reservoir.

The 1961 theme is the Dakota Territorial Centennial, with the pictures including the Lewis and Clark expedition, the first river steamboat, the 1876 gold rush, a little red schoolhouse on the prairie, and today's construction of large Missouri River reservoirs.

Street names typically follow a particular theme ; for example, the streets of Duffy are named after Australian dams and reservoirs, the streets of Dunlop are named after Australian inventions, inventors and artists and the streets of Page are named after biologists and naturalists.

Yersinia pestis circulates in animal reservoirs, particularly in rodents, in the natural foci of infection found on all continents except Australia.

Concrete is widely used for making architectural structures, foundations, brick / block walls, pavements, bridges / overpasses, motorways / roads, runways, parking structures, dams, pools / reservoirs, pipes, footings for gates, fences and poles and even boats.

These dams and reservoirs currently limit the recovery of upriver salmon runs to Idaho's Salmon and Clearwater rivers.

They were formed by H < sub > 2 </ sub > S ( hydrogen sulfide ) gas rising from below, where reservoirs of oil give off sulfurous fumes.

As most oil and gas has been in place for millions to tens of millions of years, depleted oil and gas reservoirs can contain carbon dioxide for millennia.

These two bodies, to which we can give or from which we can remove the heat without causing their temperatures to vary, exercise the functions of two unlimited reservoirs of caloric.

In both zones, Chagas occurs almost exclusively in rural areas, where triatomines breed and feed on the over 150 species from 24 families of domestic and wild mammals, as well as humans, that are the natural reservoirs of T. cruzi.

The primary wildlife reservoirs for Trypanosoma cruzi in the United States include opossums, raccoons, armadillos, squirrels, woodrats, and mice.

Because many of these reservoirs are found in sedimentary basins, they study the formation of these basins, as well as their sedimentary and tectonic evolution and the present-day positions of the rock units.
