How many people do you know that can endure months without being able to eat because they have no water let alone having to wash dishes that you eat off of or not even being able to brush your teeth with all the food you just ate stuck in your teeth? Many people disagree with the fact of being in a drought. The farmers are in danger since their crops won’t grow properly, therefore we won’t have healthy foods, people will not be able to take showers, do their own dishes or their own tasks providing for their family. California should maintain the laws for the aquifer
Consequently “When it first went dry, we used to drive to my daughter’s house in Visalia about 45 minutes away to have a shower,” he says. “But it was costing a lot of money in gas” (Source 2). “There are also the endless treks to the Laundromat for the family wash and the supermarket for drinking water, not to mention the horror of the nightly dishes” (Source 2). These two quotes are stating about many citizens having to invest money to try and manufacture priorities to happen without using any water for their family therefore we as citizens would cognate the laws

"Everything about farming is already unpredictable, harvest to harvest" (Source 1). "They don't have a good concept of what goes on in the Valley," said Belluomini. "I think that's just obvious time and time again" (Source 1). “Groundwater is like a bank account. You can’t take out more than you put in on an ongoing basis.’— Jerry Cadagan, water activist (Source 3). Even if the people stating the quotes above are against having laws I still disagree with what they are agreeing with since the majority of the citizens would like to have a healthy environment, they need to have a certain percent of aquifer so they can send more aquifer out to everyone. The reason for this is for citizens to have enough water to be able to do all tasks in their
Throughout today’s society, media contributes to almost everyone’s daily life. From informative news channels to comical television shows, media proves to be effective in advertisement, releasing messages and informing the audience. Although media proves to be wildly effective in advertising, releasing messages and informing the audience, periodically destructive and misleading messages are provided to the audience and directly influencing women. Cultural critics widely agree that media tends to negatively influence women and all the critics point to research which supports the belief that women are portrayed as subordinate to men, having no
At the beginning of the 20th century, American Progressive methods began changing to fit a new era of economic and social policy. The early 1900s were a time of increasing social awareness and focus on responsible legislation. Some of the economic changes that caused this new Progressive awareness and focus were desire for growth, new moral ideologies, and an orientation around workers' rights.
Would you like to go without a shower for five months? California right now are in an unfavorable and enormous drought. As a result, many citizens don’t have water to drink water, flush the toilet, take a shower, and wash the dishes. Also, Farmers don’t have enough water to harvest crops so if they can’t harvest crops, we won’t have enough food. Therefore, I support the regulations that allow the California Farm Bureau to control groundwater for all citizens.
Due to the lack of rain in the past few years, and particularly in the last few months, California faces severe drought. This is the worst drought in more than one hundred years. The impact of California drought affects community, agriculture, organic ranchers, and dairy farmers. Because of these facts, the United States must rethink the way it uses water. Californians alone are asked to reduce their water usage by twenty percent to prevent water waste.
California is currently experiencing the worst drought in history and its not only affecting California – its affecting everyone. The California drought has become a slow movie disaster. You don’t realize how bad it is, until it hits you hard.
What is the point of taking the water for the farm to make food if the people in the town need water to live also? California has been in a drought for 4 years now and the farmers are drilling wells and taking all of the water from the town for themselves. I think they should make a law. They prove them because it says that people can not do their laundry or drink water or wash dishes. It says that it affects prices and that it costs farmers a lot of money. You have to beg and pay extra to have them drill wells and they have to buy less stuff to be able to pay people to drill wells. I think we need laws because if they take all of the water there is no use for food because water is actually more important than food because you can die from
Why do they want to regulate water ? We are having a drought in California because there are farmers that are taking a lot more water.I think they shouldn't limit water because it is making living a lot harder in other cities.Consequently,”When it first went dry, we used to drive to my daughter’s house in Visalia about 45 minutes away to have a shower”Source 2. Quotes an East Porterville Man. It was a big transition from having enormous amounts of water to not even being able to take a shower or wash yourself.It’s officially getting crazy.Ordinarily, “We go and we go, but it just seems like we can’t go fast enough”,Source 3, a drill worker speaks. It Explains we need laws because it shows that they are tired of being in this severe drought
How many of you would not brush your teeth?For example 6 months without brushing your teeth,would you do that,how about 6 months of not being able to not take a shower,wash your dishes/clothes and to flush your toilet.California is fighting farmers for the right to regulate water.In my opinion,California should regulate water laws.
California has been in a drought for about 4 years now and it has been considered the most severe drought in the last 15 years. The California drought has been causing multiple ongoing problems for the last few years. The state of California has tried to take actions toward ending the drought, but the efforts put forth are clearly not enough to end this drought. The main focus in ending the drought has been water conservation, but many California resident are taking the seriousness of the drought too lightly. The drought has already caused several problems, for example water shortages, dying crops, and wildfires all across the state. If serious actions towards ending the drought are not taken soon, California will continue to surface or may get worse. There are a few ideas underway to try and end the drought in California such as, desalination, wastewater recycling, ground water digging, and the main focus water conservation. All of the solutions to ending the drought will cost a good amount of money, so the fact of the matter is which idea would be most efficient and less costly.
“Would you be able to go a few weeks without taking a shower?”, “Is having food and being able to eat more important than being able to brush your teeth, take showers, use the bathroom, what would you do”? There is a severe drought in California and the farmers are in need of water to produce crops, and the town needs water to do their everyday routine of brushing their teeth, taking a shower, going to the bathroom, washing dishes.. eEtc. I think the government should regulate the use of groundwater in the state of California.
A basic human right but, is everyone granted water usage rights? Water is being used every single day by almost every human worldwide. In Canada, everyday each person uses 343L of water. The largest area of consumptive use of water in the world aside from drinking water is for Agricultural use. 70% of the worlds water usage is in agricultural areas which, raises the question in many countries is how do we govern or monitor agricultural water usage. Often many countries use a code system for Water laws. For the purpose of this paper, the Riparian law in Ontario will be used to look at both Ontario and Chile’s water usage in agricultural sectors. The Riparian law states to guide: the right of access to the water, right of drainage, rights relating
“God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease,avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.”-John Muir. Even though farmer use to much water, the drought is a serious matter and should be dealt with because California is the top food producing state and the water we don 't have won 't grow the food we need.
“When it first went dry, we used to drive to my daughter’s house in Visalia about 45 minutes away to have a shower”(Source 2). “Others without water would like to move, but can’t”(Source 2). In these quotes they explain how people must go to a friend or family homes to shower or get water in any way. Another reason why we should include laws is people can’t sell their homes by cause of there bring absolutely no water in their city.
“Even though California was the only state in the West without groundwater legislation, officials with the Kern County Farm Bureau said they’re not happy with the state’s bill.” (Source one). Apparently, farmers are not so happy about them making a bill. If there is a legislative law about monitoring groundwater, then how will the farmers grow their crops? Some farmers are worried, too, according to source three. “In Merced County, farm leaders are trying to stop two private landowners from selling as much as 7 billion gallons of well water to farmers in another county.” (Source
When water is being wasted at home or at work, you didn’t care at all because you think there are more than enough water to last. When you were in a third world country or a place that is considered a desert and in need of water, you started to realized how much water we have wasted for so long and the risk we put ourselves into. Most of the time we have witnessed people wasting water, but didn’t say anything or know anything about water use. Some of the problems and consequences that will affect the water usage in Hawaii, include that as the population and the demands of the people goes up, so the water level goes down and it makes the water less affordable for everyone (Dunster). The citizens of Hawaii have the ability and responsibility to protect their water usage and need laws in place to help conserve their water for the future. II. Background In 1879, cattle rancher James Campbell brought in a well-driller to search for water on the plains of Ewa. After drilling several hundred feet down, they discovered a vast underground source of pure, fresh water. Within 10 years, a series of artesian wells were drilled within the Honolulu city limits. By 1888, artesian water was supplying most of Honolulu 's needs. This discovery led to a water boom on the island, as ranchers and plantation developers began drilling furiously for more water resources. In 1891 and again in 1894, when the drought hit the city, plans were formulated for the installation of the
