Water is the massive problem that has been occurring for a long time. Even if the federal government, local government, and water organizations, have helped to create many projected in order to solve the problem, it seems the demand of water in the west is still increasing annually. If we all consider the root of water issue in the west, there are several significant reasons that could be explained why we are still facing such a problem. Back to late 1800-1900 century, when the west began to develop in every dimension of societies, such as, economy, cities, industrial society, people also moved to the bigger cities rather living in small cities.

The book was written by Edward Abbey as the environmentalist. Overall, after I was done from reading the book, many areas of the book support new perspective that I always look to the nature.

Some activities they do without permission. We cannot stop them. To preserve the national park is better for the environment. Another different perspective for him is the idea of anthropomorphism.
