95 A Farm Bureau's View of Water

Fresno County has over 6,000 farms making it the leading farm county in the nation.  Unfortunately, drought continues to make it difficult for this County.  Low water years have already visited the area several times since the new millennium began.  When low water years happen surface water becomes scarce and groundwater is over pumped. How does the Fresno County Farm Bureau see resolution to this problem and where should their efforts  be placed? I visited Fresno County in 2009 and can tell you conditions have not improved. Water shortage has really become a deal breaker for Fresno County farmers.  Water is a Many Splendor’ed Thing brings you another water relationship that has a personally significant impact to your life.

23 The Indispensable Resource of a Firefighter

Water is the primary material that a firefighter uses to put out a fire. Even the foams used to put out fires are water-based products.  Without water, firefighters don’t put out the fires. That is why water conservation is taught as one of the main tenets to all firefighters. Water and life go hand in hand. Ask any firefighter.

221 Lake Mead

Build it and they will come. Just south of Las Vegas and close to the Arizona/Nevada border was the perfect spot to store water flowing in the Colorado River.  The big S (for Storage) is critical for stability and reliable water deliveries and this is what Hoover Dam was built to accomplish. The birth of Lake Mead was created and this big news circulated quickly in the early 1930s. Waterscapes have a way of creating great benefits to people and the environment.

186 Don't Just Sit There

Growing up, my parents instilled an attitude that I still believe to this day. Don’t just sit there if you see someone needing help, you help them.   Overuse of agricultural water has caused much suffering in Yemen. Technical and social behavior changes are needed. So, do we just sit there as we see hardship taking place or do we contribute to solving the problem?

54 U.S. Foreign Policy and Water

Virtually every major U.S. foreign policy objective is dependent on how well the U.S. addresses global water. This is important because water and sanitation issues can undermine democracy building and poverty reduction. An even greater benefit is when relationships and trust gained by solving water issues manifest into resolving other key issues of conflict.
