The problem of leaks is further aggravated by the fact that many of them involve corrosive salt water.

A more pressing problem for Brueys was a lack of food and water for the fleet: Bonaparte had unloaded almost all of the provisions carried aboard and no supplies were reaching the ships from the shore.

In both parts of the island, water shortage is a growing problem, and several desalination plants are planned.

Canals have various features to tackle the problem of water supply.

The problem has been exacerbated in modern times, due to mechanized agricultural equipment that allows for deep plowing, which severely increases the amount of soil that is available for transport by water erosion.

There is only one problem: you cannot travel over a route ( except water ) unless there is a tile on that road, and only the type of transport shown on the tile can be used to move along that road.

Crick began a Ph. D. research project on measuring viscosity of water at high temperatures ( which he later described as " the dullest problem imaginable ") in the laboratory of physicist Edward Neville da Costa Andrade at University College, London, but with the outbreak of World War II ( in particular, an incident during the Battle of Britain when a bomb fell through the roof of the laboratory and destroyed his experimental apparatus ), Crick was deflected from a possible career in physics.

The report profiles the problem of water pollution resulting from the release of toxic chemicals associated with the country's textile industry.

A 2009 survey found that Europeans rated climate change as the second most serious problem facing the world, between " poverty, the lack of food and drinking water " and " a major global economic downturn ".

The second problem is hydrofoils are almost like sharp knives going through the water, normally fatally injuring any marine mammal ( e. g. whales ) they hit.

One problem is that the pressurized air will gradually dissolve into the water until none remains.

One solution to this problem is to have the air separated from the water by an elastic diaphragm ( similar to an expansion tank ); however, this solution can be problematic in developing countries where replacements are difficult to procure.

Since Syria built a dam on the Euphrates, the flow of water has been considerably diminished and flooding was no longer a problem in the mid-1980s.

Shaft mining was done in some areas, but the limiting factor was the problem of removing water.

Because it is the shallowest, it is also the warmest of the Great Lakes, and in 1999 this almost became a problem for two nuclear power plants which require cool lake water to keep their reactors cool.

The disruption of the river's natural flow, run-off from agriculture, and the introduction of pest species like the European Carp has led to serious environmental damage along the river's length and to concerns that the river will be unusably salty in the medium to long term — a serious problem given that the Murray supplies 40 % of Adelaide's domestic water.

For this reason, narcosis while diving in open water rarely develops into a serious problem as long as the divers are aware of its symptoms, and may ascend to manage it.

Vibration and " water hammer " may be a serious problem.

On a vessel at sea, this is usually no problem ; on misty days, sighting from a low height above the water may give a more definite, better horizon.

Efficiency in application of water to the fields is low, but the main problem is leakage in main and secondary canals, especially Turkmenistan's main canal, the Karakum Canal.

Constant volume thermometers do not provide a way to avoid the problem of anomalous behaviour like that of water about 4 ° C.

Although precipitation is not a limiting factor, the ground freezes during the winter months and plant roots are unable to absorb water, so desiccation can be a severe problem in late winter for evergreens.

) This limit was a concern to irrigation projects, mine drainage, and decorative water fountains planned by the Duke of Tuscany, so the Duke commissioned Galileo to investigate the problem.

To address the problem of slowed timekeeping in the pressure head of the inflow water clock, Zhang was the first in China to install an additional tank between the reservoir and inflow vessel.

However, diabetes insipidus is either a problem with the production of antidiuretic hormone ( central diabetes insipidus ) or kidney's response to antidiuretic hormone ( nephrogenic diabetes insipidus ), whereas diabetes mellitus causes polyuria via a process called osmotic diuresis, due to the high blood sugar leaking into the urine and taking excess water along with it.

from downstream, where the water level is much lower, it is a high, elaborately facaded pavilion.

Here, on the hottest day, it is cool beneath the stone and fresh from the water flowing in the sluices at the bottom of the vaults.

In a stream that turns a mill-wheel there is a lot of water ; ;

the mill-pond is quiet, its surface dark and shadowed, and there does not seem to be much water in it.

It is covered ( partly ) with water, air is atop of that.

There is a mediocre restaurant at Sounion and I fed a thin little Grecian cat and gave it two saucers of water -- there was no milk -- which it lapped up as though it were nectar.

In view of the increasing shortage of usable surface and ground water in many parts of the Nation and the importance of finding new sources of supply to meet its present and future water needs, it is the policy of the Congress to provide for the development of practicable low-cost means for the large-scale production of water of a quality suitable for municipal, industrial, agricultural, and other beneficial consumptive uses from saline water, and for studies and research related thereto.

This shelter could be built in regions where water or rock is close to the surface, making it impractical to build an underground shelter.

These are particularly suitable for regions where water or rock is close to the surface.

It is estimated that about 542,250 miles of forest development roads, and 80,000 miles of trails, constitute the system that will eventually be needed to obtain the maximum practicable yield and use of the wood, water, forage, and wildlife and recreation resources of the National Forests on a continuing basis.

The sight of sleek inboards, outboards, and sailboats being wheeled smartly along highways many miles from any water is commonplace.

Ignorance of the law is no better excuse on the water than it is on land ; ;

Currently, marina is used to indicate a municipal or commercially operated facility where a pleasure boat may dock and find some or all of the following available: gasoline, fresh water, electricity, telephone service, ice, repair facilities, restaurants, sleeping accommodations, a general store, and a grocery store.

This is possible with water and other liquids that have a high surface tension.

There is still water in it.

The sink in the hinged panel above the bunk drains into the head and a five-gallon water tank is mounted on the bulkhead above the sink.

Of course, when your 6-inch torrent of water is released, it may cause a lot of comment as it passes through or by neighboring properties.

If your pool is located on or near sloping ground, it may have natural drainage which is certainly more desirable than to be faced with the annual expense and labor of first pumping out the water and then scooping out all the debris.
