describe the causes and effects of pollution on the Yangtze and Ganges Rivers.
describe the causes and effects of air pollution and flooding in India and China

Answer:

The untreated sewage dumped into the river, industrial waste, agricultural runoff, remnants of partially burned or unburned bodies from funeral pyres, and animal carcasses all contribute to polluting the Ganges. High levels of disease-causing bacteria and toxic substances have also been found in the Ganges.

Industrial wastewater discharge, agricultural chemical fertilizer, sediment accumulation, ship garbage and acid rain were the main Yangtze River pollution causes. Only in 2016, there were 35.32 billion ton waste water flowed into the Yangtze River. Fortunately, Yangtze River water pollution has drawn attention of central government and many measures and regulations have been launched to control and improve the situation. With efforts nationwide, the water quality has been improved. Even so, the tough fight against pollution is still ongoing.

In the early spring of 1940, the US military faced a seemingly insurmountable task. With Poland overrun by German armored columns now poised to strike at France, and China under assault by Japan, America’s commanders had to prepare the US military for war. The problem was not a dearth of troops—after Adolf Hitler’s blitzkrieg rolled through Poland in September 1939, Congress had mobilized the National Guard and Reserve and approved an increase in the size of the Army. It was that the existing troops were poorly trained or not trained at all.

No one was more acutely aware of this than Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall. A student of history, Marshall was certain American boys were as courageous as any German or Japanese soldier, but they lacked sufficient training and combat experience—and time was short. Marshall concluded that what America’s burgeoning ranks needed was a complex training exercise, an exacting test in an environment that would closely approximate the realities of the battlefield.

—“Louisiana Maneuvers” by Mark Perry

The number of young drivers involved in motor vehicle crashes each year has declined substantially in recent years, for teenage drivers of all ages and in crashes of all severities. The number of people injured annually in crashes involving teen drivers declined by 51% between 1994 and 2013, and the number killed each year in teen driver crashes declined by 56%. Most of the decline in injuries and virtually the entire decline in fatalities occurred between 2004 and 2013. While the reasons for the declines are not entirely clear, numerous studies have shown that strong state GDL systems have contributed substantially to reductions in injury and fatal crashes of drivers aged 15–17. Research also suggests that economic factors including rising gas prices and the economic recession of 2008 resulted in substantial declines in teen driving and thus teen crashes as well.
