So irrigation changed yuma because we were no longer losing too much water we had better fields better crops and better efficiency. The people that were in yuma at the time maybe were mad because they were losing too much water and the crops would flood so that is why they started making dams as deep as they can so they stored the water and they stopped losing the amount of water they were losing. It helped yuma by a lot because we hardly get rain here we get more like dust.…

This article wakes up the reader’s perspective of how natural disasters can be steepened by the hubris of politicians in control; they’d rather worry about attracting growth to a city without considering the safety repercussions of its citizens.
