Anderson, J. N/A. Water supply. The environmental benefits of recycling and reusing water. Water science and technology. 3(4): 1-10Freshwater levels are at historic lows and with increasing demand for Ag and development, water is a scarce resource. The article analyzes the effects on how water reuse can help meet fresh water needs. The article presents case studies on water recycling in agriculture, urban areas and water resource supplementation in a few different countries. The relationships between water reuse and maintainable water control are studied. Water conservation and recycling can produce significant ecological benefits, resulting from reduced water diversions and reduced impacts of wastewater disposal on environmental water. Some cases are illustrated by demonstrating the ecological benefits in measurable terms. The scientists also explain the economic and ecological benefits demonstrated in a number of recent water cycle planning practices in Australia and a few different countries. I found this source reliable because it was peer-reviewed. I intend to use this article because it supports my argument.Bech, B. 2011. Water Resources and Oil and Gas Development: A Survey of North Dakota LawNorth Dakota Law Review. 87(4): 507-533. North Dakota has been subject to a massive increase in oil production in just the last few years. The recent increase in oil field activity has the North American region questioning how much water will be available...... middle of paper ...... petroleum-derived materials. Biosource technology. 100(24): 6229-6235The quantities of water produced by oil fields differ from time to time depending on different extraction methods. Sometimes the well itself can produce 10 to 20 times more water than oil. Scientists have found that the longer a well stays online, the more water it produces over its lifespan. In drier climates, it may be more profitable to recycle produced water and use it for agricultural purposes and for oil exploration itself. Size stabilization ponds are a prevalent treatment method that is more effective in drier, warmer climates. I found the source reliable because it was peer-reviewed. I intend to use the article as it supports my argument.
