San Joaquin River Case Study

Decent Essays
“Should the San Joaquin river should be restored” On the second article is mainly talking about that 90% of people agreed that they want to help restore the river. And my statement is that yes every farmer doesn’t have a lot of money to buy tank of water to make crops or keeping their animal hydrated but we have to changed this around. Not only restoring the river but also helping others we need more money to gain this power of restoring the river.
The government doesn't even help we should fight for freedom and for the right of restoring this river not one or two.We need more people to also help them. There been people who been using that river for fishing ,swimming and also using that water for their plant. When the river stop working there been people who didn’t care of this river they thought that the river was history and we shouldn't care for this. There been some people who did care about this river. On the video of the san joaquin river i saw a lot of the elder people talking about how the river was so perfect for them.They show a picture of them in the river having funny and playing around but one of the elder said that it just happen all in sudden the river stop working.But my point is that it’s not over until everyone say it’s over

    She addresses the issue of the extinction of the taddle creek as a reminder of what can happen as a result of losing connection with one's primary water source. The author feels obliged to address this issue because keeping in touch with one's watershed results in caring and sustainable use of water- concluding with the betterment of a community's daily life and improving the sustainability of the nature within that community. On the other hand, ignoring the importance of a watershed will result in a mirror image of the Taddle Creek, and its negative repercussion will have an everlasting influence on the minds and safety of all individuals within and its surrounding areas. To finish, I felt that this was an extremely persuasive method of presenting an idea and it motivated me to connect to my own watershed once again (discussed in the other assignment) and the role I must play going forward to maintain the balance of the water which it holds. I am certain that many others including myself will use the example of the Taddle Creek as a reminder of the negative consequences that can arise as a result of ignoring and exploiting watersheds without providing them with the care they…

    The Meramec River is located in the upper Ozark Highlands in central-eastern Missouri and spans 218 linear miles before discharging into the Mississippi River in St. Louis (Blanc 1999, Thom et al, Figure 1). This watershed is dominated by Oak-Hickory forests and karst topography; and the Meramec River follows a riffle-run pattern of stream flow (Blanc 1999, Thom et al). Before people dominated the landscape, the driving forces of nature shaped the topography and the subsequent ecosystems that evolved, leaving behind biological and geological relics from the last glacial period (Nagel, 2010). These relics are seen today in the form of outcrops, caves, and ancient species thriving in the cool crevices of this geography (Nagel, 2010). The topography…

    If we didn’t have the lakes, we always had groundwater, which was annually replenished by the rain and snowmelt from the Sierras. However, as the earth’s temperature steadily climbs, and the state suffers through a massive dry spell, demand for water has reached an all-time high, and groundwater use has soared as a result. This has caused the water table, or the depth at which water is found below the surface, to plummet as water is pumped from the ground faster than the aquifers can rejuvenate. Once farmers needed only to drill 500 feet deep to reach water, now they have to drill down at least 1,000 feet. Scientists have also discovered that the more water is taken out from Central Valley, the more the land begins to sink- the San Joaquin Valley in particular…

    The very first instance of people in the area of the Los Angeles River were the Tongva Native Americans. Evidence suggests that they may have arrived as early as 5000 B.C.. At this time there was an abundance of both vegetation and wildlife surrounding the river ranging from berry bushes to bears. Hundreds of years later the city began to grow when Europeans settled the area in the middle of the 19th century. At this point the river was tame for most of the year but during the winter the river would flood frequently.…

    The Chattahoochee River, Georgia’s most heavily-used water source, is home to a variety of fish and a supplier of over 70% of the drinking water in metro Atlanta; it was also ranked number three on America’s ‘most endangered’ list. Each day, more than 250 million gallons of sewage waste water is dumped in to river, so news that the river is constantly contaminated with E. coli is no surprise. Even with the vast amount of contamination, Georgia allows the dumping of waste to continue; they give out permits to dump in the waters. Without proper laws and regulations, the continued dumping of waste on the Chattahoochee River will eventually cause it to become too contaminated for human use and wildlife survival. The Chattahoochee River begins in the northeast of Georgia and continues down 524 miles to Apalachicola Bay, Florida.…
