Why were early factories built near rivers? They were built near rivers because water wheels powered the movement of the machines.

A primary reason for this is that all three major sources of pollution (industry, agriculture and domestic) are concentrated along the rivers. Industries and cities have historically been located along rivers because the rivers provide transportation and have traditionally been a convenient place to discharge waste.

The location of work also changed. Whereas many workers had inhabited rural areas under the domestic system, the factory system concentrated workers in cities and towns, because the new factories had to be located near waterpower and transportation (alongside waterways, roads, or railways).

The new spinning and weaving machines were too big to be used at home. Merchants built factories that needed water power that had to be built near water. More people moved to the cities to find jobs in factories. Cities grew larger and more changes took place.

Four Industrial uses of water Heavy water using industries can include food, paper, chemicals, refined petroleum, or primary metals.

The U.S. Census Bureau has estimated that the U.S. manufacturing industry requires 18 billion GPD of water for use in production operations. Manufacturing accounts for almost 25% of global freshwater withdrawals, and by the middle of the 21st century, projected demand is expected to skyrocket.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), industrial water is used for fabricating, processing, washing, diluting, cooling, or transporting a product. Water is also used by smelting facilities, petroleum refineries, and industries producing chemical products, food, and paper products.

Аbout 95 litres of water is used to manufacture a plastic bottle and about 40 litres for aluminum can. To produce one ton of steel 237000 litres of water are used. It takes an estimated 148000 litres of water to make a car.

Norway looks set to be the first country to end the sale of new internal combustion vehicles, with a target set for 2025.

2030

You will still be able to drive a petrol or diesel car following the ban in 2040. The restriction only affects new cars registered after that date. Cars registered after 2040 will have to be 0 emissions vehicles.

The ban is for new car sales, meaning existing petrol and diesel vehicles will still be road legal beyond 2030. So, if you want to keep on driving a petrol or diesel car, you can, but you’ll need to accept changing charges and regulations surrounding combustion vehicles.

Classic cars are not being banned, but it’s likely that the next few decades will see a shift that may eventually present a challenge for classic car drivers. For example, increased availability of electric car charging points and decreased space at fuel stations for traditional petrol and diesel pumps.

Banning petrol-only sales could change the face of the classic car market. The Government’s announcement that it will ban sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030 – 10 years earlier than planned, and that some Hybrids will be allowed until 2035, is one such piece of news.

However, a 2017 report in Automotive News, citing classic car insurance company Hagerty, claims that auction prices are declining while the number of classics sold has increased. This looks like the result of aging Americans downsizing to smaller homes, living on a lower fixed income, or simply dying off.
