Case Study Susan Longville

With the rapid population growth during the year of 1902, Los Angeles had a larger demand of water than what they could provide and searching for a way to bring water was a must. William Mulholland, superintendent of the Los Angeles City Water Company, began to search for a new supply. He started looking on nearby local areas but it generated to nothing. In his search for a new source, he began by surveying all the rivers and groundwater basins south of the city. He found groundwater regulated and being used by agriculture. Additional groundwater use would limit the expansion of the neighboring country, which was the main basis of wealth of the area. Mulholland concluded Los Angeles would have to look elsewhere.

In Alabama in the early 1970’s, there was a height and weight limitation, in order to be considered as a candidate for becoming a prison guard. The restrictions were minimum 5’2 and 120 pounds. Such requests ruled out Dianne Rawlinson, who made a class action suit against the requirements, as she thought that they violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Dianne Rawlinson raised the legal question in Court whenever height and weight requirements for employment as a prison guard in the Alabama would violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

In the ¨River Restoration Project Offers a Sprinkling of Hope¨, Ron Jacobsma, general manager of the Friant Water Authority, said “We hope to get double duty out of that water by taking it the long way around.¨ As Jacobsma is a general manager of the Friant water Authority, this offers us his experience, his ideas and his thoughts of how we can have hope for the project. President Barack Obama signed the Omnibus Public Lands Bill in March, the agreement turned into federal law when he signed it. The parties had been working on the restoration plan for more than two years laying the groundwork for the physical changes to come. When the president signed it, it made them get the approval which he supported for them to continue the process. The credibility of the author right has now been believable because he provided us with the ethics of President Obama and Jacobsma. The river will not necessarily end up to its full, natural path along its entire length. Too much has changed in the decades since the dams construction. They would use canals along some stretches to carry the water short distances and to ferry the salmon upstream. This is showing us logos with facts and information it offers an explanation on how to solve one of the problems with the plan. A professor named Peter Moyole, from UC Davis also had his opinion on the project. He said “We have never done anything on this scale”, but we were willing to try it and approve of the

Yet, humans have limited control on natural events, so this only reinforces the importance of managing water wisely. Recently California’s government has begun to focus more on sustaining and restoring the water supply. Dale Kasler (2016) articulates in his article some of the steps they have decided to make to solve this serious issue. The government has made the following investments: “$415 million for watershed restoration and other environmental aid for Lake Tahoe; up to $335 million for two proposed reservoirs in California, including the Sites reservoir north of Sacramento; $880 million for flood-control projects on the American and Sacramento rivers in Sacramento; and $780 million for flood-control projects in West Sacramento” (para. 10). This could be the first step to restoring the water to California. But these

For this paper water structures and infrastructures were selected as focus points because the longer we wait to fix issues with them, the more expensive it will get, in other words, we are in a race against time. Studying the past it is easy to see how water availability made population explode in an area such as Southern California, where savvy marketing and great politics made it happen. Particularly, for Los Angeles and for the purposes of public narrative, Marc Reisner’s Cadillac Desert does a great job at understanding and identifying the politics and key figures in getting water to Los Angeles. Great hydrologic structures were created using both manpower and water politics. It is important to state that there are connections between water, politics, environment, and geography when analyzing what the biggest problems involving water structures and infrastructures (Reisner.) We must think of water as both a socio-political issue and a natural resource, whose fate is molded by the understanding of its connectivity to itself, man-made structures, geography, environment, and society. The classes taken in this program have taught us ideals that in order to become a great water resource manager, one must master the political and scientific knowledge to make decisions that are prosperous for society and the environment. Furthermore, one must know the United States’ hydrological history in order to gain manipulation upon the system that makes it both thrive and deteriorate.

Returned call to Ms Deborah Turner. She wanted to complain about a CW worker that did not allowed see her great-niece Astasia (2years old) and great-nephew, Odion (4 years old).

This case study highlights that the Nevada Four were spiritually and had long term personal connections to do something good for the Wetlands. Upon being neglecting, these four bureaucrats took action and got involved with going behind their superior back to see fit to their beliefs and passion for the Wetlands. The Wetlands future was in the hands of the Department of Interior, in which the Nevada four felt wasn’t making any progression and decided to take action and attack from the outside. These four guerilla were natural scientists, who became experts in public relations. The Nevada four seen an opportunity to publicize their concern and get their agenda on the table when 7.5 million tui chub fish were found DEAD. Their mentioned that the cause of death was unknown and there could be a possibility that the Bureau of Reclamation could have something to do with this crisis. The “decisive trigger” was the angle the Nevada Four was looking to take, they understood that things had to get bad or at least seem bad, before anyone would do anything. They were denied once again for funding, so they took action and contacted owner of the inactive water to donate their water rights. This change the game, and was considered thinking outside the box, which their felt the Department of Interior would have never approved. The Nevada Four looked to give credit for success to other, because they were dedicated to a goal, and not to personal aggrandizement.

The dust settled as the last vehicle departed the newly established ghost town. What was once a bustling rural community in eastern Colorado, complete with a school and church, and businesses off the main street, has become deserted due to a lack of water. This has become an all too familiar scene in rural communities across Colorado as the increasing demand for water and the dwindling water supply pits water users against one another. The state’s free market style of appropriating water, known as prior appropriation, allows for this highly competitive, and often detrimental situation to persist. As climate change and population growth continue to strain the water supply in Colorado, it will be necessary to adjust the strict prior appropriation

Although my position on SO50 differs from Jennifer's in which I've stated there are several issues greater than the lack of water, which ABSOLUTELY is a concern to many Folsom residents. The obvious issues are the mass conflict of interests involving our council members and Chamber of Commerce, the complete violation of Measure W and the removal of the inclusionary housing component force this whole rezone issue North of 50. (If you don’t think people are pissed about that, your blind) Folsom has preexisting 1914 water rights which represent 3,200 Acre Square Feet which by all measures should be adequate enough to service the EXISTING North of 50 resident commitments. The SO50 DWR's were originally planned and approved with a piped in, dedicated

The San joaquin river right was written by Bill McEwen. I agree with this article because it has the the right amount of evidence why they should add more water but do not add the fish, and if the government tried and take the water away it will be no more water use for the farmer. As you know farmer need water to grow there crops and they are trying to take it all away. In march 2009 Bill McEwen had written an article called too fishy for my taste buds but, what is the first thing that comes to mind? when he say too fishy for my tasted buds are there dead fish in the San Joaquin river no, but they will be if they had put the salmon back into the water. As time went past what they have found out is there is no funding for the dams or the river

In 1906 President Roosevelt had granted the city a permit to “divert water from the Owens River Valley [which was a fairly new] reservoir [located] in the San Fernando Valley” (Wells and Blake). That permit led to behind the scene meetings with the city’s mayor and other leading LA capitalists where they were using the water from the San Fernando Valley for personal gain and to fatten their wallets by “[bolstering] real estate speculation and [irrigating] vast new acreage of farmland” (Wells and Blake). Los Angles wasn’t the only city in the state where convoluted dealings were happening, in San Francisco for thirty years capitalist were redirecting water from the Tuolumne River. In addition to that for ten years naturalist John Muir protested against the states choice to the eradication of the Hetch Hetchy valley. Muir’s efforts were for not because in 1913 President Wilson signed the Raker Act which permitted dam construction. The Raker Act did disclose that selling any electrical power that was “generated from the dam to any corporation or individual” (Wells and Blake) was against the law, and forgoing the law most of the power that the dam did generate was sold to the utilities company of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). And by the end of the 1940’s, “San Francisco was selling

And finally, there is the issue of staff mismanagement. The supervisor, Keith Frazier, is only checking in with this department one to two times per week. Mr. Frazier is aware that Pat is making international phone calls. He is also aware that Pauline found a way for Pat to make these calls from the building’s elevator once he had the phone system modified to only allow internal calls. Mr. Frazier has also been fielding complaints from the accountants about not receiving their tax schedules in a timely fashion. However, he has failed to confront either of these issues. This lack of management can be attributed to the following:

The case of Kathryn Mc Neil deals with the issue of separation in the workplace regarding the nonperformance of a single mother whose work was suffering because of the tremendous additional burden of raising a child. The case was written in 1994 but in the intervening years significant decisions have been made by the law (in the US) protecting the rights of the single mother. The debate is no longer exclusively about professionalism versus corporate responsibility but the new phenomenon of a third gender in the workplace.

A dramatic situation that has occurred in the selection is when Marjorie first encounters Constance Stevens. In this selection Marjorie is portrayed an optimistic girl who wanted to be friends with everyone, and the rules did not change for her when she meets Constance. However, Constance’s opinion is different from Marjorie. In Constance’s eyes she sees Marjorie is the new girl who did not understand the cruelty of her classmates that tortures her. Constance felt that she cannot be friends with Marjorie out of fear that her classmates will bully Marjorie for being friends with the poor girl.

The heat. The dryness. The pain. Parish 202 – formerly known as the city of Anaheim, in California - was going through another year of intense drought. For the past ten years, Parish 202’s water storage tanks had never been completely refilled. Every two months, a truck would come, fill the tanks up to the middle, and then leave. Water ratios were getting smaller and smaller every year. The entire west coast was suffering from this dry, arid disease, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
