Multithreading in Java
Java provides built-in support for multithreaded programming. A multithreaded program will have 2 or more parts that can run concurrently. Each part of such a program in java is called a thread, and each thread defines a separate path of execution. It is a specialized form of multitasking. There are two distinct types of multitasking namely Process-based and Thread-based.

A short note on typically groundwater
Typically groundwater is consider of as liquid water flowing through shallow aquifers, however technically it can as well include soil moisture, permafrost (frozen soil), motionless water in extremely low permeability bedrock, and deep geothermal or oil formation water. Groundwater is assumed to give lubrication and buoyancy which let thrust faults to move. Almost any point in the Earth's subsurface has water in it; to some degree (it can be very dry or mixed with other fluids). Groundwater is not restricted or confined only to the Earth, either; subsurface water on Mars is considered to have given rise to some of the landforms.

What do you mean by Collective and non-human intelligence?
Some thinkers have discovered the idea of collective intelligence, arising from the bringing together of many people. A battleship, for example, cannot be operated by a single person's knowledge, actions and intelligence; it takes an organized and interacting crew. In the same way, the interesting behaviors of a bee colony are not displayed in the intelligence and the actions of any single bee, but somewhat understandable in the behavior of the hive. These ideas are travel around as a basis for human thought, with applications for the artificial intelligence (AI), by the MIT AI pioneers Norbert Wiener and the Marvin Minsky. The Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged from the Computer science as a specialty which looks for to make computers act in ever more intelligent ways, and gives insights into human thought processes.
When allowing for animal intelligence, a more common definition of intelligence might be applied: the "ability to get used to efficiently to the environment, both by making a change in oneself or by changing the environment or by finding a new one”. Numerous people have as well speculated about the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence.

A short note on Snake River
The Snake River is the river, in the western part of the United States. The Snake River is 1,038 miles (1,670 km) in total length, and is the Columbia River's most important tributary. The Lewis and Clark expedition (1803-6) was the first main U.S. exploration of the river, and the Snake was one time known as the Lewis River.
The Snake River's many hydroelectric power plants are a most important starting place of electricity in the region. Its watershed offers irrigation for various projects, as well as the Minidoka, Boise, Palisades, and the Owyhee projects by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, with a variety of private projects for example, at Twin Falls. On the other hand, these dams have as well had an adverse environmental effect on wildlife, most remarkably on wild salmon migrations.
The Snake runs through numerous gorges, with one of the deepest in the world, Hells Canyon, with a maximum depth of 7,900 feet (2,410 m). The name "Snake" probably derived from an S-shaped (snake) sign which the Shoshone Indians complete with their hands to mimic swimming salmon.
