Now you may ask yourself, how is this possible if it

As humans, we have a few basic needs. Some of these being security, shelter, food, clothing, and arguably most important, water. When living in a desert though, water may not be quite so readily accessible. With recent droughts in the southwest and the already relatively scarce amount of water and rainfall in Arizona, now is the time when Arizona should begin to make itself more efficient and conservative with its water consumption, because of our reliance on the Colorado River and rapidly depleting

It should be understood however, that no two plans would be the same especially based on the region where a specific hazard occurs.

In the late 1930’s, three young men, Frank Malina, Jack Parsons, and Ed Forman formed a group on the Caltech campus in Pasadena, California known by students as the Suicide Squad, for their crazy and often life-threatening engineering antics; but as tensions heated up in Europe, the men’s experiments began to seem less wild to the US government: in 1939, they were awarded $1,000 to conduct research into the development of a rocket plane for use in combat.
