Chow says she first discovered the consequences of CFL use when she met with her professor for Engineering Sciences 164: “Aqueous and Environmental Chemistry.” Chow and Steven C. Wofsy, professor of atmospheric and environmental studies, initially discussed her group project on the toxicity of mercury, before the topic turned to the harm CFL bulbs can cause if used or disposed improperly...
Cloudbursts are the least of the aqueous troubles in Ireland, however: Since March, a cryptosporidium parasite has rendered the tap water in Galway County (my home base for the summer) unusable. Bottled-water profit margins have surged, the Archbishop of Tuam has sought an alternative source of holy water, and I've become accustomed to treating water with a stanch mixture of fear and vexation...
...became a hallmark of Impressionism: a good example is the Marmottan's La Barque (1887), in which Monet places the barque, or boat, at the edge of a mostly empty canvas. Hokusai's powerful (and famous) The Great Wave Off the Coast at Kanagawa (ca. 1831-33) is an aqueous cousin of the waves Monet splashed against the rocky coasts of Normandy and Brittany. And while Monet captured the changing light on the façade of Rouen's cathedral in more than 30 paintings, Hokusai rendered Mount Fuji at least 36 times, at all hours and in every season...

But there are also some strange consequences of this diversification. The last song on the record, “Aqueous Transmission,” is an eight-minute head trip accompanied by mandolin and fading strings, and sits uncomfortably among the more honest rock songs that comprise much of the album. On View, lead singer Brandon Boyd is at his most introspective. He expresses love, loss, contemplation...
...atmosphere. In some parts of the Amazon basin, deforestation has reached the point where it is altering precipitation patterns. This is because so much of the moisture entrained by clouds comes from the canopy of the forest below; as large tracts of trees disappear, so do portions of the aqueous reservoir that feeds the local rainmaking machine...
