Although this discovery provides many jobs for the locals and even for migrants and also the oil sells for a lot of money, with the company Fort Mckay, earning $500 million a year. The project does come with a few costs and disadvantages. A major cost for the environment is the polluting of Lake Athabasca. With the fish being poisoned and appearing with strange marks and swells on them making them uneatable. However researchers are not completely sure what is polluting the lake but they say they need find out soon so the fish can be saved and the lake can be salvaged.
Agriculture receives 80% of the Colorado River supply, and much of this is wasted in inappropriate crop choices, e.g. cotton. As demand for water continues to rise, it is more than likely that a range of stakeholders will become angry at their wastage if it means their own water supply is increasing in cost or even cut. This is likely to include dwellers of highly populated cities environmentalists, recreationalists. Another major potential clash is within US Federal Governments – who are under pressure from their own politicians not to change water allocations.

THE NEED FOR WATER IN ANCIENT SOCIETIES Water is life - there could be no life without water. The ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Rome, Egypt and China understood that water is not simply a valuable resource without which survival is impossible, but also an important prerequisite for further development. Water became an influential tool that shaped technological, economic, political, and legal spheres of the ancient societies, as well as a powerful weapon in the hands of their emperors and kings. To begin, the need for a steady supply of water greatly affected technological developments in the ancient world, both negatively and positively. For instance, ancient civilizations that solely depended on irrigation canals and ditches often suffered food shortages and famine when the river levels dropped, or when the water systems could not be properly maintained.
With technology that runs the life’s of millions, and the constant need to obtain anything and everything without a price, Lao-Tzu would hang his head in shock at the life we have grown so quick to know. There are places in the government and in the life of today that Lao-Tzu would think inadequate for living; however, we must look at what in our life meets his guidelines as well. Modern American society is not perfect. The ways of the world have changed since 6th century BC and life has become much more complicated all the while striving to make things simpler. The way technology has driven the last half of a century has changed life astronomically.
The buildup seemed to take forever, but Pershing eventually commanded an army of over 20 divisions. The battle referred to as the Second Battle of the Marne was the turning point in the war and America had a large part of the victory in repulsing a last gasp offensive by the Germans. Germany felt they could win a major battle with a diversionary tactic, but, neither the French Army nor the American Army of 85,000 men with them fell for the feint. Germany figuratively had all their eggs in this basket and realized with this defeat the war was effectively over. The Americans were perhaps lacking in battle experience, but were fresh and described as belligerent – in other words they were spoiling for a fight.
How much water they need and how much water there is will cause a dent in the water supply. If there is more water being used faster than it can replenish itself, the effect it has on the state is a negative result in reports from the amount of water being used. Therefore, the government understands that it is right to give as much water to them because Intel will help the state of New Mexico to provide jobs. As a result, Selcraig states “Intel now employs 4,000 people in Rio Rancho, plans to hire at least another 500 next year and says it creates as least two spin-off jobs in the surrounding economy for every one inside the sprawling plant (175)”. The essence of the government’s argument is that creating jobs for the city will help the economy.
Water Wars Ben Bernanke World Geography Ms. Glenda Witch June 25, 2010 Approximately one-third of the world’s population is suffering from water scarcity. The Great Lakes of the United States and Canada make up the largest body of fresh water on the planet, as those without search for fresh water, the very existence of the Great Lakes is in constant threat of diversion. Entreperneurs, farmers, and recreational users all have their eye on the prize, but with eight U.S. States and two Canadian Provinces now working to protect this important resource things are moving in the right direction. The Great Lakes consist of five lakes: Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. These lakes lie on the U.S./Canadian
Instead of reforming them, the populous that uses this “opportunity” has become so dependent on it that it isn’t enough and now our government is increasing these “opportunities” while America sits in the largest deficit it has ever been in. To really grant them opportunity, they need to be given jobs. However, on the same side of this token we are taxing the employers and cutting down on their funds. This gets rid of jobs; it doesn’t create jobs. It is much like the saying: “give a man a fish, he eats for a day, but if you teach him to fish he’ll eat forever.” Bono from U2 had the right idea.
The improvement and protection of water quality is the most important part, as Los Angeles encountered a “new normal” of a persistent drought. Some reports have discovered that the area’s underground plumes of pollution are expanding gradually. As a result, Capturing and cleaning storm water is the most effective method to reduce their dependency on imported water, keep their rivers and beaches clean and usable. These provisions is beneficial for the environmental development and economic growth. Los Angeles lead the nation in water conservation for a long time and will continue to be the leader in the future, mayor of Los Angeles set a objective of a 20% decline in water use per capita by January 2017.
