Ogallala Aquifer

One of the things that the commission need to keep in mind while deciding will be that the drilling sites will be located near the Ogallala Aquifer. This is one of the biggest aquifers in the world which means polluting the aquifer could have a large impact on hundreds of people’s drinking water. The commission has assured the community that they have used better equipment to protect the pipes so they do not leak. However, the members of the community have little to no faith after seeing how filthy

One theory in Jared Diamond s Collapse is that soil degradation and erosion leads to insufficient agriculture and a society s demise. In Timothy Egan s The Worst Hard Time, he sets forth in specific and excruciating detail exactly what Diamond outlines in Collapse. Only Egan s book isn t theoretical. It isn t a survey of what s happened in other countries. It s about the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. It s about what happens, right here in the heart of America, when the land is misused, mistreated, and

The Dust Bowl was one of the worst economic and tragic events of the 20th century. The Dust Bowl negatively affected people who lived there in a personal way. Some of them included how badly it had affected the children living in that time, how it had affected families health, and how badly it affected the economy causing a mass corruption. The Dust Bowl affected children in a big way by ruining their health, and causing them to see extricating things. “The children of the Dust Bowl saw things that

need for water no matter what it is for. The importance of water in Kansas is getting dramatic due to the Ogallala Aquifer shrinking in size on a daily basis. There are thousands of things that can possibly go wrong because of our diminishing water supply. The impact that water has on our town is significant, hundreds of possible predicaments can occur because we would no longer have the aquifer, however, there are many ways we can prolong our water supply life in our generation that we are currently

differently.” While the pipeline would create more jobs, it would come at the price of clean water from the aquifer. As far as I am concerned, clean water for at least 8 different states is more important to me than a few extra jobs here and there. Even if the jobs would create an economy boom, the pipeline would still harm the United States. If the pipeline spilled into the Ogallala aquifer, it would cripple the agricultural portion of the economy, which would put the United States in a worse situation

We do not realize how big our human footprint is when it comes to water pollution and depletion. Often, we get to the point where it is too late to fix the problem at hand or our genius intelligence kicks in just in time. The film "Water" hosted by Dr. M. Sanjayan and the article "To The Last Drop" by Laura Parker, help point out exactly what we have done as humans to contribute to the destruction and saving of our number one survival source, water. Water pollution is a big issue in our country

We realize that extracting from groundwater has advantages as well as disadvantage, in order to provide advantages and disadvantages we first need to know what the meaning of groundwater. Groundwater which is known as aquifer is water that satiates the crevices and openings of rocks and residues that is positioned below the surface of the ground. A mask amount of the groundwater is protected because it is underground, therefore leaving it purely clean and exempt from the pollution on the earth. Now
