The Determination of the Rio Grande being the Texas official border was influenced by many policies and beliefs. Although one large piece was influenced by the Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny was a belief that God wanted America to expand all the way to the west coast of the American Continent. The Americans wanted the Rio Grande to be the Texas border because of this belief. However, Mexico objected and claimed that the Nueces River was the Texas border. The United States did not want the Nueces River to be the border because it did not fulfill the Manifest Destiny. So then the only way to make the Rio Grande the border was to push Mexican out of the area. American had to make Mexico recognize that the Texas border was the Rio Grande.

Louis L’Amour, author of “Rivers West” and many other famous books and short stories, was born in Jamestown North Dakota March 22, 1908. L’Amour was an indifferent student and dropped out of school at the age of 15. The next two decades L’Amour traveled the world and held many different jobs, he was a lumberjack, an elephant trainer, a miner, and during World War 2 he served as an officer in the tanks corps in Europe. It was not till he came back from World War 2 that he decided to be a writer and he wrote books as wells short stories, but finally after years his big break came at the age of 46 with the western book “Hondo” which later was adapted into a movie done by John Wayne. L’Amour married Katherine Elizabeth Adams in 1956, and they had two children. Over the next thirty years L’Amour wrote many more books and short stories, some were eventually adapted into movies, and on June 10,1988 Louis L’Amour died of lung cancer though he was not a smoker.

Municipal solid wastes are leftovers made by the population such as food, plastic bottles, household wares and many more. These items referred by most as “the garage” or “trash”. (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2015) In the early 1900’s, incinerators were used to burn waste however by the Mid-20th century, lawmakers enacted the first government regulations in an attempt to address increasing concerns about the environmental impact of unregulated waste management practices. With the first waste management legislation being passed in 1965, brought along the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, thus bringing us into a new world of waste management.(Vault, n.d.)

Colorado has a very rich history that often gets overlooked due to other big states that generally take up most of the headlines; however, that does not mean that there has not been big movements and big names to come through the Centennial State. Colorado has had many attractions, such as open land, beautiful landscapes, mining, and the hot springs to name a few. The ladder in that group of attractions brought to Colorado a man that was known in the west, and would forever be remember and one of the most famous gunman, Doc Holliday. Doc Holliday had a short, but eventful life and making his way towards Colorado at the end was what he had hope would save his life.

First, there will be no safety or health concerns with our solution. Most of the interaction with waste will be done with robots and not humans. Since compost is not harmful to humans, the building that holds all of the trash will be in doors and will and away from civilization. Our citizens will also be safe since our plant will be dislocated from civilization as it will be miles away from people and their homes or workplaces. Most of the buildings will be away from people to keep them healthy and safe. Second, there are minimal environmental impacts from our solution. There will be no pollution caused in the process since our sorting buildings are sealed and compost causes almost no pollution. Our solution will also be energy efficient because compost needs no energy to create and our sorting plant uses solar energy that it creates itself. All in all, the solution that our group created is environmentally safe, it keeps citizens healthy and safe, and it is energy efficient.

Multiple Japanese settlements started to increase in rustic communities of the Columbia River Basin, despite the Issei’s harsh labor in the early 20th century, the discrimination led to growing anti-Japanese arrogances on the West Coast, even the feeling had developed against the seeming Chinese competition. Nampa, and Caldwell Idaho drove out the Japanese workers this led to white mobs around Coeur d’ Alene and in Poland to threaten the Japanese railroad workers. Pressures led to the (“Gentleman’s Agreement”) between the U.S. which effectually limited the numbers of laborers that could travel from Japan in 1908.

The Buffalo River area is a karst environment with attendant sinkhole and cave formation. Limestone, composed primarily of CaCO3 and dolomite composed primarily of CaMg(CO3)2, are the two soluble rock types in the area that host the karst features. Water in contact with air picks up carbon dioxide some of which transforms to carbonic acid, and this acid then dissolves the carbonate minerals, carrying the ions out in solution (e.g. Trudgill 1985). Limestone and dolomite layers vary in impurities and grain size so that different layers are more or less prone to dissolution, with dolomite generally being less soluble than limestone. To erode these rock formations with very low intergrain porosity and permeability, there has to be exposed surface area and so faults and joints within the rock greatly increase the rate in which the rock will dissolve, and partly control the location of

As we all know the Colorado river is shared by many farmers who live by it. But for the past sixteen years it's been in a drought and shows no signs of stopping.

The Colorado River Basin, the only major river in the southwest United States, has multiple diversions that lead into a number of states including California. These diversions bring the majority of drinking water to California residents. Due to this and increased droughts within surrounding states and other environmental factors, the Colorado River is now showing some negative effects . In fact, the American Rivers Foundation named the Colorado River America’s Most Endangered River of 2015. The Colorado River also diverts into a network of dams and reservoirs that supply hydroelectric power to the surrounding areas and also providing flood control. While preventing destructive floods and creating environmentally sustainable hydroelectric power

The Bighorn River in Montana, that holds a great significance to the state of Montana, is a current example of the importance of preserving natural resources in the world today. This river provides water for agriculture and generates income through recreational uses. Poor river management led to the river having high flows for many years that cost the agriculture industry millions for flooding damage and posed a threat to the limited trout habitat. The residents and storefronts that run along the Bighorn River have formed a community and petitioned to have the river recognized as a major asset to Montana. Their community is determined their protests and petitions will result in receiving funding for higher-quality river management and guaranteed

The farmers of the Colorado River should have the rights to it’s water. The farmers have a lot of land so they need more water. The farmers grow most of the greens vegetables that we eat. The farmers grow a lot of our food each year so they will need more water to grow their crops.In conclusion the farmers of the Colorado river should have the rights to the

The average resident produces seven and a half pounds of garbage every day that is buried down in landfills and litters lands costing a great amount of money. Nowadays, people face no more critical trouble than the need to save the weakening environment, mainly in urban areas, where solid wastes are uselessly dumped. It has been observed that cities have no controlled structure for garbage disposal. Each year, millions of dollars are spent picking up litter and more is thrown away in valuable materials that could be recycled. As humanity develops new technology and equipment, the level of waste increases every day. Due to the fact that there is a huge problem with garbage disposal, government representatives must contribute to resolving

Water purification and a wastewater treatment plants would be necessary in order to provide the citizens and visitors with clean healthy water. To prevent flooding, this city was built on flood plains.
