Input: Consider Input: What are the consequences of floods? Floods impact on both individuals and communities, and have social, economic, and environmental consequences. The consequences of floods, both negative and positive, vary greatly depending on the location and extent of flooding, and the vulnerability and value of the natural and constructed environments they affect. In Australia floods are the most expensive natural disasters. In Australia, floods are the most expensive type of natural disaster with direct costs estimated over the period 1967-2005 averaging at $377 million per year (calculated in 2008 Australian dollars). Reply to ASK-AN-EARTH-SCIENTIST Subject: Environmental Effects of Floods I'm doing a report on the effects of flooding on the environment. Can you help me? What can people do to help ease flooding? I live in an area where flooding hardly occurs; What could I do to help people that live in those areas? You asked about the effects of flooding on the environment. This is a pretty broad question, but I'll try to provide some answers to what I think you are asking about. First, floods are part of the natural cycle of things. The benefits of natural floods almost certainly outweigh the negative aspects. References and further reading. 1 Apan, A, Keogh, DU, King, D, Thomas, M, Mushtaq, S & Baddiley, P 2010, The 2008 floods in Queensland: a case study of vulnerability, resilience and adaptive capacity. Report for the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility, Gold Coast. There are positive and negative impacts of floods on the Ecosystem. The sudden appearance of a large quantity of flood water can benefit plant life. The under ground stored water can be replenished by the floodwater, while soil above ground can soak up the water. As a result, the plants receive water. Insurance of the structure and its contents against flooding can reduce the impacts of floods on individuals or companies. Floods have significant consequences for the environment In many natural systems, floods play an important role in maintaining key ecosystem functions and biodiversity. The problems start when flooding occurs in areas of large-scale human development of the landscape. In areas largely inhabited by people, there are both positive and negative environmental effects of flooding. Floods can distribute large amounts of water and suspended river sediment over vast areas.

As most people are well aware, the immediate impacts of flooding include loss of human life, damage to property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health conditions owing to waterborne diseases. Floods also have a downside. Ecosystems depend on a careful balance of factors, and the sudden impact of a flood can quickly disrupt this. While floods affect mainly dry land, water-based habitats are at risk from the runoff of the flood. The run-off contains sediment and products such as pesticides and fertilizers, and will carry these into the ecosystem. Query: how does floods affect the ecosystem

Output: Impact of floods on the ecosystem includes replenishing of the underground stored water, loss of human life, destruction of crops, deterioration of health conditions owing to waterborne diseases, and soaking of water by soil above ground.

Input: Consider Input: Release the mice into tall grasses at least one mile from your house or they will find their way back (no kidding) and the second time around they'll be wary of your trap and harder to catch. Release them early in the morning so they'll have a chance to get the lay of the land and build a nest before nightfall. Made from FSC certified wood the Victor Mouse Traps are very sturdy and long lasting. The snap wire part of the Victor Mouse Trap is so strong that it could even break your finger. Mice are naturally curious so if you place a piece of bait on top of the plastic triggering which is more sensitive than metals ones it will trap your rodent right away.

Stack bricks or books along one side so that the rodent can climb up and jump into the basketonce inside, the animal won't be able to climb back out. Captured mice and rats can be kept calm by placing a towel over the trap. Release them within 100 yards of where they were trapped. (Rodents can also be humanely euthanized by a veterinarian or at a local animal shelter.) In order to keep the mouse from returning, you should take it about 2 to 3 miles from your house. Try to find a location away from human habitation that provides some shelter like a pile of wood, branches or rocks, or at least some low ground cover. This will shelter the mouse from predators until it can build a proper nest. Q: How far away should I take a live-trapped squirrel so that it doesn't return to my home?

Input: Consider Input: Nasal Decongestant is a cough & cold medication. Uses: Nasal Decongestant is approved for Allergy, Nasal Congestion, Common Cold, Cough, Congestion, Flu, Runny Nose and Sneezing and is mostly mentioned together with these indications. Hi, not saying you have this but I have Eustachian tube dysfunction Which I am told goes hand in hand with colds, it can cause ear ringing. My doctor told me to try nasal... Comment Helpful? He, after examining me, told that I have a Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (that is, my eustachian tubes are blocked) due to the flu. He told me that blocked eustachian tubes can increase T. He... Comment Helpful? On EarPopper's Studies page, they reference 5 different clinical studies showing that the device can help reduce symptoms related to Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, although there's no way to know how Eustachi's performance will compare to EarPopper, or if it will provide you the same level of relief. What Are Eustachian Tubes? According to WebMD, "The Eustachian tubes connect the middle ears to the back of the throat. The tubes help the ears drain fluid. They also keep air pressure in the ears at the right level. When you swallow or yawn, the tubes open briefly to let air in to make the pressure in the middle ears equal to the pressure outside of the ears. Sometimes fluid or negative pressure gets stuck in the middle ear. The pressure outside the ear gets too high. This causes ear pain and sometimes trouble hearing," resulting in something known as Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Eustachian tube dysfunction happens when the tube between the middle ear and the back of the nose (the Eustachian tube) doesn't work properly. This means that the pressure in your ear can't go back to normal. The result is muffled hearing and a popping or crackling noise in one or both ears. But it is important to note that these other symptoms happen alongside muffled hearing. Eustachian tube dysfunction does not cause dizziness or tinnitus alone. One or both ears may be affected. Symptoms can last from a few hours to several weeks or more. It depends on the cause. Eustachi is an "As Seen on TV" device that uses forced air to help condition your Eustachian tube system, and to relieve middle ear pressure and discomfort.

The project aimed ...Eustachian tube dysfunction is a poorly defined condition. ...Consensus on diagnostic criteria for Eustachian tube dysfunction is required to inform inclusion criteria of future trials.. Also, try doing the following: take a breath in. Then breathe out gently with your mouth closed and pinching your nose (the Valsalva manoeuvre). In this way you are gently pushing air into the Eustachian tube. If you do this you may feel your ears go 'pop' as air is forced into the middle ear. This sometimes eases the problem.
