Learn about conservation strategies from the water bureau. Design and publish a water-saving tip sheet to distribute to parents and community residents, and create a coloring book illustrating the tips for the communityâs youngest residents.

Scientists on a research vessel in the Gulf of Mexico are finding a substantial layer of oily sediment stretching for dozens of miles in all directions. Their discovery suggests that a lot of oil from the Deepwater Horizon didn't simply evaporate or dissipate into the water â it has settled to the seafloor.oye can't yet say with certainty that the oily layer is from BP's blown-out well. The organisms that break down oil excrete mucus â copious amounts of mucus. So it's kind of like a slime highway from the surface to the bottom.
Sure! Oil evaporates very slowly. Oil doesn't mix with water, and most oils are less dense than water. So oil floats on top of water, and usually makes a very thin layer, covering all the water you have, or else it spreads out until the oil layer is just one or two molecules thick and you run out of oil.S. A: Yes, the thicker the oil layer the slower the water diffusion through it to the surface, so the slower the evaporation. The type of oil will also matter, because the solubility of water in different oils is different, so different concentrations of water will be moving through different types of oil.
