06-85-519 W17: Engineering Technical Communications Assignment #2: Literature Review Assignment #2: Literature Review Overview “The author of a literature review is expected to summarize and discuss published work that establishes the technical, social, and economic context for a problem and summarizes the relevant history of the technology with an emphasis on the state of the art, recent advances, unresolved problems, and promising approaches to solutions” (ECM, p. 139). In other words, a literature review serves to compile, organize, and synthesize existing information about a topic. It allows the writer and the audience to get a good sense of the state of the art for a particular topic/research area, in an effort to avoid “reinventing the wheel.” Assignment Choose one possible solution that could respond to the problem identified by your team (for the final project). For example, if your team is working to prevent damage from a future flood event, choose one possible prevention technique to research. If your team is attempting to increase safety measures in the event of basement flooding, choose one possible safety solution to research. Each team member must choose a different solution. Research the solution that you have individually chosen and write a literature review (standalone report, i.e., not a part of a larger work), presenting, contrasting, and synthesizing the current and relevant work/research done in this project area. Your literature review must include the following sections: Introduction The introduction explains the focus and establishes the importance of the subject. It discusses what kind of work has been done on the topic and identi?es any controversies within the ?eld or any recent research which has raised questions about earlier assumptions. It may provide background or history. It concludes with a purpose or thesis statement. In a stand-alone literature review, this statement will sum up and evaluate the...

Pollution In Rivers Caused By Flooding
Every time water gets flooded due to more rains causing floods, and this is because our drainage system cannot take the excessive water. River’s banks also overflow and that causes flooding, particularly when the upstream water is more and in excess than the downstream water, causing floodplain, due to the flooding of low-lying areas. In this case, there is a burst of surplus water flow into the land. (eSchooltoday, 2010).
Along the banks of the river are the oldest inhabited places, where billion of liters of human sewage every day get discharged into the river water. When several industries, chemical factories and many towns are constructed and operate near the banks of rivers, the river water is utilized for every industry and residential purpose. In case the water is not cleaned or remain uncontaminated before sending it back to join the river water, the polluted and bad hygiene will have a very adverse effect, dirtying of water, causing river pollution. (Barrow, 2013; Kalinowska, M. B., & Rowiński, P. M., 2015).
Pollution can be in a variety of forms: Crisp packets Rubbish, plastic bags, newspaper, Poisonous substance, bottles, cans, and solid objects, excrement and human waste. (Barrow, 2013). The river water pollution is also caused by agricultural waste, when the farmers spray pesticides and fertilizers on crops for the better crop yield. Such pesticides/fertilizers get washed by rain through the field soil, and they ultimately flow up in the river water. Fertilizers/pesticides are extremely harmful as they trigger algae growth, which destroy the plants in the river water. (Barrow, 2013). Factories near the banks of the river use water to power and cool down their machinery, the warmer water packed with oil and factory chemicals is sent back to join the river, causing pollution.  (Hamner et. al., 2006; Wiklund, J. A., Hall, R. I., Wolfe, B. B., Edwards, T. W., Farwell, A. J., & Dixon, D. G., 2014).
Such water pollution has a very damaging effect, can kill animals and water plants. Polluted water carries diseases, demonstrated by the FCC – Fecal Coliform Counts, decreasing the biological oxygen demand levels. And such polluted water can increase the overall waterborne/enteric rate of diseases, including diseases like acute gastrointestinal problems, dysentery, cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis-A. When the animals are sent to drink the river water, they are bound to get diseases.
