Domestication has played an enormous part in the development of humankind and material culture. It has resulted in the appearance of agriculture as a special form of animal and plant production. It is precisely those animals and plants that became objects of agricultural activity that have undergone the greatest changes when compared with their wild ancestors. Origins Of Domestication The main attempts at domestication of creatures and plants evidently were made in the Old World amid the…

that most likely lead to their large populations and lasting culture was their irrigation canal systems. The Hohokam were focused primarily around the Salt and Gila rivers of Southern Arizona as depicted in Figure 1. The massive canal systems that they build off of these rivers allowed for the support of a large population, and allowed the growth of a wide variety of crops which could not be grown without irrigation. The Hohokam are estimated to have occupied a territory of roughly 80,000…

During dry times, there is an increased incidence of wildfires. Particularly, in "1988, rainfall in many states was 50 to 85 percent below normal. Summer thunderstorms produced lightning without rain and ignited fires in dry trees" ("Drought" pg. 4). In 2014, Mieszkowski explained the risk of wildfires were probable. In 2014 "there had been 3,400 wildfires as July 19, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection" (Mieszkowski pg. 8). Which is an escalation of 36…

The Amazon River is one of the largest rivers in the world and is essential to animal, plant, and human life in and around the river. For this reason, it is very important to watch the river closely and observe how it acts so we can interact with it in harmony. Since 1903 scientists have been recording annual maximum and minimum water depth above the local average. Observations were fairly until 1926 when the “Drought of the Century” occurred. There was a 50% drop in discharge from the river…

Irrigation is a main reason why Yuma Arizona is Yuma Arizona. The control of a river has made it easier to farm and farming is a huge part of the economic success the Yuma has. But Yuma hasn't always been a farming phenomenon it needed irrigation to flourish and that took a lot of work and time to become so.

Course Project Rationale – Personal Dam Dams are an integral part of society since as early as 3,000BC as it allowed for control over water resources. (McCully, 2001) However, by interfering with a flowing body of water, the water collects and becomes stagnant, altering physical, chemical and biological properties of the area surround the dam. This in turn changes the population dynamics of microbial communities resulting in a rise of harmful bacteria in the area. (S. Gorbtkin, 2008) By…

Today, in a society full of advanced technology, people think our country is perfect. With water resistant phones, 3-D holographic advancements, and cars equipped with automatic braking systems, it is no wonder Americans have this perceived idea of perfection. However, our country is suffering from a problem that we thought only third world countries suffered from, and our carelessness about this issue is not helping our increasingly dangerous situation. Water is everything; water is everywhere.…

to mean a lot to this city.” said the King. “Yes master.” The slaves all said at once. The slaves all marched into the city to gather supplies and begin building. A few months later and the irrigation system was ready right before the spring floods.
