little rainfall that relies on moisture-conserving tillage and drought-resistant crops” (Merriam) 2. The harvesting of water for agriculture can occur in many different ways, but they are all dependent on water moving down hill into catchments, from traditional techniques of building stone or mud walls to slow water as it runs downhill allowing it to soak into the soil, to capturing rainwater from a modern homes gutter system. (Grossman) 3. The Zuni Conservation Project (ZCP) was started in…

For my research involving Module 2b I chose to conduct my research on question four. I found this question interesting because the preservation of wildlife interests me, which led me to my research question. Has the deforestation in the United States caused a warming effect or cooling effect for the average temperature? I plan to explore this topic by researching temperatures over time in the United States and the amount of deforestation that has occurred in the United States. Also I plan to…

There are some major lessons that can be drawn from vernacular responses for contemporary societal challenges. Vernacular architecture is a style of building that is created without the use of an architect; it is architecture in its simplest form, concentrating only on the human necessity.

Paper manufacturing companies that using wood to create furniture and other wood materials are causing a lot of problems to the nature, Also forest provides habitat for some animals. Research has found that the number of species found in logged rainforest is much lower than the number found in untouched or “primary” rainforest animals that…

allowing places who don’t have water and future generations to be able to use this resource. Areas that lack a steady supply of water can also obtain and save water through many methods. For example, in Jaipur, India, villagers use the method of rainwater-harvesting, and in New Mexico, farmers use the drip irrigation system. In these ways, people can secure water even when it is not fully accessible and available. As you can see, there are many ways that people worldwide can conserve water and…
