What are the environmental effects if an earthquake destroys a dam?
Q. If there are two dams, one (Ryan dam) further downhill and the other (Rainbow dam) upstream from the first, what would the environmental effects be on the channel between the two dams? Furthermore, what would happen to a third dam (Morony dam) that is downhill from Ryan Dam?

A. I cannot answer this question specifically, because I'm not precisely familiar with those damns, the river that they dam, the terrain that they're built in, or how far they are, and what position their floodplain is from civilization. But as a general rule - If a dam is instantly taken away (however it's done), the reservoir of water behind the dam will be instantly released. The potential energy of the stored water (which is a lot, bigger and bigger as the reservoir gets bigger, especially as it gets taller) is quickly converted into kinetic energy in the form of water rushing down river. This will be very powerful, and very fast, and so it will gouge out the river channel, making it deeper and wider (this won't just be done by water, [cont.]

How do you find out the Environmental Health Officer For Havering?
Q. I wanted to know who the Environmental Health Officer for Havering area in the UK is. Does anyone know how to find this out, or perhaps you know who it is and could tell me. I live in Essex, Romford so I am looking for the Environmental Health Officer that covers that area. A few points I think I should explain to be clearer: I'm looking for the Envirinmental Health Officer for Havering who does house visits in the Rush Green area. I have searched the internet and so far can not find anyone under that title/

A. Solar panels is definitely one way to go. Not only solar panels, but they now make solar shingles. These shingles replace your regular roof so instead of mounting a big panel on top of your roof, your roof is actually the solar pv collector. See this website:( Another option is planting a green roof. This means that you actually have dirt and plants on your roof. Clearly, in this option your are limited to relatively flat roofs, but what they do is insulate the roof and keep your home warmer in the winter and definitely cooler in the summer. See this website for more info: Good luck!
