California's Outdoor Fountains Analysis and Results
California's Outdoor Fountains Analysis and Results In February 2014, a levy on sugar-sweetened beverages was approved in Berkley, CA, making it the first city in the United States to create such a law. The purpose is to get everyone drinking more water and other natural drinks by elevating the price of soda and other sugar-sweetened drinks. Research was performed to find out the status of local drinking water fountains and whether people from other racial or economic backgrounds had reduced availability to them. Important information on the city’s drinking water fountains were developed using a GPS created specifically for the research. Demographic data on race and income was then gathered using the US Census database. The analysts looked to use both data sets to figure out if demographics were linked to drinking water fountain access.
Each water fountain and the demographics of its bordering area were analyzed to reveal whether the location of the fountains or their standard of maintenance demonstrated any link to income, race, or other points. While the greater part of the fountains were in working order, an alarming number were uncovered to be in a bad state of repairs.
Water Transport Solutions in Historic Rome
Water Transport Solutions in Historic Rome With the development of the 1st raised aqueduct in Rome, the Aqua Anio Vetus in 273 BC, individuals who lived on the city’s hillsides no longer had to be dependent only on naturally-occurring spring water for their demands. If citizens living at higher elevations did not have access to springs or the aqueduct, they’d have to count on the other existing solutions of the day, cisterns that collected rainwater from the sky and subterranean wells that received the water from below ground. In the very early sixteenth century, the city began to make use of the water that ran below the ground through Acqua Vergine to provide drinking water to Pincian Hill. Pozzi, or manholes, were constructed at regular intervals along the aqueduct’s channel. Although they were originally developed to make it possible to support the aqueduct, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi began using the manholes to collect water from the channel, commencing when he bought the property in 1543. Although the cardinal also had a cistern to get rainwater, it didn’t supply sufficient water. By using an opening to the aqueduct that ran underneath his property, he was in a position to suit his water wants.
Though the majority of sculptors were paid by the temples to decorate the elaborate columns and archways with renderings of the gods of old, as the period came to a close, it became more common for sculptors to portray average people as well mainly because many of Greeks had begun to think of their religion as superstitious rather than sacred....
