ENERGY PRODUCTION2Abstract Currently, energy is widely used by many countries across the world, for example, its used in developed countries such as the United States (U.S.) and Japan to develop nuclear weapons. There are two types of energy sources namely: renewable energy resources (RESs), forexample, wind and solar and non-renewable sources of energy (NRESs) such as coal and oil. There are some limitations of using these sources of energy. For instance, RESs are intermittent in nature because of the change in weather patterns from time to time. On the other hand, using NRESs has contributed vastly to the environmental degradation. However, countries such as U.S.have developed some methods that have been used to overcome some of these limitations, for example, construction of large pools to hold large capacity of water. Hence, satisfying the needs of its citizens. In addition, many agricultural specialists have integrated the use of existing water sources into their operations as a way of storing energy in case the power that’s needed is less then the power that can be supplied in any given time. There are many parts in Australia that can be utilized to produce electricity, for example, Tasmania, Victoria and Queensland.

ENERGY PRODUCTION4References171.Introduction This chapter discusses in detail about the introduction to the project alongside its purpose and goals. In addition, this chapter is also concerned with the importance of the research and its applicability in the current society.1.1. Introduction Storing of energy has been one of the key challenges to the field of agriculture. Agriculturalspecialists have been using many methods to produce energy such as renewable energy resources(RESs), for example, wind and solar energy Luo, Wang, Dooner & Clarke, (2015). However, these RESs cannot produce energy continuously as there is variability in their strength from time to time, therefore, affecting the supply of energy. Following these developments, many agricultural firms have adopted the use of water wells as a reservoir to store energy. For instance,in New York, energy is produced using wind, water and sunlight Rehman, Al-Hadhrami & Alam, (2015). The aim of this paper is to explain in detail about the application of using existing water sources such as wells as a way of storing energy. Also, the paper has explained how energy production is related to the quantity of water available on the earths surface. Besides, specific areas in Australia that can be utilized to integrate the proposed system have also been discussed. 1.2. Objectives The following are the objectives for carrying the research on the workability of using waterwells as a way of storing energy:

ENERGY PRODUCTION5Determining the specific places that can be appropriate for the suggested system of storing energy.Discuss how water wells can be used in rural areas to solve the problem of electricity fluctuation that’s caused by using RESs. Explain how the introduction to hydro turbine can facilitate storing of energy using different existing energy sources, for example, reservoirs and water wells (Barbour, Wilson, Radcliffe, Ding & Li, 2016).1.3.Significance of the Research This study is very vital and essential in the current society where energy is used daily in many fields like agriculture, where it’s used for irrigation purposes and to produce electricity thatis used by many people across the world. The following are some of the roles that will be played by this project upon its completion:Helping many agricultural firms alongside other manufacturing companies to overcome some of the challenges of using RESs, for example, fluctuations of energy production.This project will enhance reliability in the production of energy Zakeri & Syri,( 2015).1.4.The Organization of the Report This report has been organized systematically ranging from the introduction to the adoption of water wells in agricultural practices as a way of storing energy to the conclusion and the references. Different sections of the report can be summarized as follows:Chapter 1 discusses in detail about the introduction to the project alongside its purpose and goals.In addition, this chapter is also concerned with the importance of the research and its applicability in the current society.

ENERGY PRODUCTION6Chapter 2 covers much on the background for the research alongside the steps that can be followed for its implementation. Also, the relationship between the availability of water on the surface of the earth and the amount of energy that can be produced in a certain power plant has also been covered.Chapter 3 examines various processes that are undertaken while carrying out the research. Chapter 4 discusses the findings of the research. Chapter 5 provides the conclusion of the report alongside several references that was used duringthe research. In conclusion, the ways on which the paper has achieved its objectives have been discussed. 2.Background to Energy Production Initially, organic matter such as wood was used in energy production in early 1800. Coalwas used by some of the few countries such as United Kingdom (UK) to produce energy, and subsequently, the use of fossil fuels increased gradually in the year 1870 Stolze et al., (2015). Introduction to the use of natural gas started in 1870 alongside hydroelectricity. However, the rate of using coal increased rapidly as compared to the other methods. For instance, more that half of the total energy across the world was produced from coal by 1900. Therefore, initial production of energy was facilitated by non-renewable sources of energy. RFSs such as wind andsolar emerged around 1985. Energy has been one of the core factors in enhancing development of modern technology. Many industries and firms depend on energy for production of goods and products de Matos, Silva & Ribeiro, (2015).
