This document summarizes the ongoing drought conditions in California through a literature review. It discusses how the state has historically relied on water management through projects like the Los Angeles Aqueduct and State Water Project. However, the current drought is testing this system as precipitation and water supplies decline. The Colorado River, which California also relies on, is experiencing drought conditions. This drought is impacting agriculture, economies, and wildlife. It may also affect water availability and prices in other states due to California's role as a major agricultural producer.

The Philippine government must embark on a “national water security assessment” to determine the extent of its water resources to provide the framework for an integrated, coherent and sustainable water resources management program. Following this integrated approach to water resources development and management, the government can proceed with the streamlining of regulatory procedures to attract investments into the water sector. By defining the responsibilities of the various agencies, setting up a comprehensive data base for water resources and laying down the financial incentive package, private capital will surely take a second look into the potential of water resource investing based on the principle of sustainability.
Objectives:
There was a dramatic geographic shift in agriculture in the 20th century which concentrated grain production in a small area in the upper Midwest and concentrated vegetable, potato, cotton and other crops in the arid West. This new geography may be extremely vulnerable to climate change and variability.

Demand Exceeds Supply
Kelly Redmond, a government climatologist who lives at the interface between the
water nature provides and the humans who want to use it, came up with the best
definition of drought I’ve seen: “insufficient water to meet needs.”
The word “drought” most often conjures up the natural side of the equation – the
amount of rain and snow that falls from the sky. But Redmond, of the Western
Regional Climate Center in Reno, captures a central truth about life in an arid
landscape.
Drought is not only about supply. It also is about demand.
Redmond’s words came to mind over the past week as I watched the differing reactions to the Rio Grande runoff forecast
for April.
At San Marcial, the last Rio Grande measurement point above Elephant Butte, the forecast calls for 29 percent of the
long-term average. If it holds up, it would mean 13 of the past 15 years have had below-average runoff.
Any way you look at it, that qualifies as a drought.
The result is very little river water for farmers. “We’re crushed,” said Gary Esslinger, who manages the Elephant Butte
Irrigation District, delivering what water there is to Lower Rio Grande Valley farmers.
Wet years have a way of covering up a multitude of water management sins. Drought exposes them for all to see.
Back in the 1990s, we had all the same underlying water management problems in this state, but a string of wet years
left Elephant Butte full and allowed us to ignore our problems.
A run of 13 dry years out of 15 years since then on the Lower Rio Grande has left us with insufficient water to meet the
needs of all the water users in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.

It’s hard to keep track of who’s suing who as a result.
The New Mexico Attorney General’s Office last year sued the federal government over the way Elephant Butte’s water is
accounted for and managed, a feud that has either directly or indirectly dragged in other water users up and down the
river, from the farmers in the Albuquerque reach of the river to Las Cruces, all choosing sides.
Meanwhile, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas can’t agree on how to account for who owns how much of the pool that
sits now in Elephant Butte. At a meeting of the Rio Grande Compact Commission in Austin last month, representatives
of the three states ended up in a standoff on the question. The water accounting sheets developed by the three states
explaining their competing views of hydrologic reality run to 23 pages total.
Then in the past few weeks, the early release of water from Elepha ...

Water Crisis in California
Introduction
Regarding my field of study, the water crisis in California is an important issue as it entails the social problems that encounter people in the state. Concentrating on this matter is paramount as it can place me in a better position when seeking for a job in working with the county government in the state. Therefore, I will gather all the literature regarding the water problem in California and see whether it is due to a natural cause. Therefore, having this knowledge, I would be able to propose a viable solution to the water crisis in California.
The Water Crisis and its
Solution
s
The water crisis in the state has led to a debate on what causes it as well as the ways to increase water supply in the State and counter the problem. California is now experiencing four years of drought due to water scarcity that has led to the imposition of restriction on water use in major towns of the state to curb the issue of water shortage. However, this water shortage affects all aspects of life in the state as millions of acres of agricultural lands have gone fallow. This problem persists in California, and it severely impacts on the livelihood of the residents hardening their life. Jerry Brown, California governor recently announced compulsory water restriction in his state aimed at decreasing water use by at least 25 percent (Nagourney, 2015). The debate on water shortage goes over whether global warming is causing the drought or not. For instance, Lalonde (2015) points out that climate change, which is caused by global warming is a culprit to the increased water crisis in California primarily because it causes drought and desertification. Drought and desertification can be attributed to human activities in the state as it has mismanaged its natural resources. Even though climate change has been the sole contributor of water shortage in many countries, human activities are factors to consider in the issue of water shortage in California. Considering the extent of poor human activities in the state, I strongly think the water shortage in California is as a result of human activity such as agriculture and other human-related factors.
For instance, as Lalonde (2015) argued, even though California has had four consecutive years of drought as at 2015, with 2013 and 2014 being the driest years the state has experienced since 1850, climate change can be considered as one factor for the water crisis. However, a large proportion of the drought and water crisis was due to human activities, mainly via industrial agriculture practices where huge quantities of chemicals are used that deplete the soil’s health. Besides, industrial agriculture is characterized by water-intensive mono-cropping and poor tilling methods. These practices, when coupled together, increases the surface runoff, meaning that there will be inad ...
Water is necessary for life. As the world population grows, water becomes increasingly scarce in many parts of the globe. This fact creates many problems and also makes water as an investment a reality.

This slideshow presents a series of graphics, photographs and statements reflective of integrated water resource management with specific reference to forest management in a changing climate. We are already experiencing the migration of animals and humans with climate shifts. The severity and frequency of wildfires, droughts, floods and ocean acidification are also increasing. Impacts to our economy, infrastructure and atmosphere have lead us to difficult choices regarding land use and future policy development to better manage our natural resources.

Story OutlineExposition when we learn important background info.docxrjoseph5
Story Outline
Exposition: when we learn important background information about the protagonist (the main character) and their “normal” life. (You’re “exposing” the reader to the back story.)
Characters: the characters involved in the story include the media, the public (the people living in the Flint in Genesee, Michigan), and authorities (the United States Environmental Protection Agency).
Setting: the flint water crisis hit the city of Flint in Genesee, Michigan and started in April 2014. This is after the authorities decided to change the supply of drinking water from Detroit system to Flint system in an effort to save on costs.
Basic Situation: the water crisis at flint resulted from poor assessment and decision making by the local water authorities. The water was inadequately treated and tested, leading to numerous health issues because of its poor quality and contamination.
Conflict: the conflict started when the authorities shifted the source of water supply to the city, thus exposing thousands of residents to lead poisoning from the discolored, foul-smelling, and off-tasting water that caused hair loss, skin rashes, and itchy skin to its users for several months. Despite numerous reports and coverage by news agencies such as the Detroit Free Press, MLive, and independent reporters, authorities largely ignored the public outcry.
Rising Action: sequence of events that happen because of the conflict. They usually get more intense over time.
• People started complaining that the water smells like rotten eggs, is brown, and tastes funny.
• people started noticing the effects of consuming the poisoned water. Some of the effects included hair loss, skin rashes, and itchy skin to its users for several months.
• the editorial board of the Detroit Free Press ran a report on October 8, 2015 showing how the government had failed to curb the water crisis
• Several other media houses run stories showing the failure by government to address the issue
• the authorities deny claims that the water is contaminated and assures the public that it is safe for consumption.
Climax: a pediatrician releases a frightening report regarding the impact of the contaminated water on children. This is after carrying out some blood tests on the community’s children.
Falling Action: the events after the climax (usually quicker than the rising action).
• The governor of Michigan calls for a crisis meeting.
• Authorities start brainstorming for ideas on what should be done to solve the problem and save the situation.
• The government, with the help of other organizations, starts distributing bottled water that is safe for drinking and supplies lead filters across the country.
Resolution: the governor of Michigan requests legislators to allocate the state funds which will be used to change the city’s water supply back to Lake Huron just like it was the case before the crisis set in.
Title: Flint Water Crisis and Water Safety Regulation
Characters
Char.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.
Noah, Joseph, And High-Resolution PaleoclimatologyScott St. George
In 1968, Benoit Mandelbrot and James Wallis published an article titled ‘Noah, Joseph, and operational Hydrology’ in the journal Water Resources Research. In it, they argued that hydrological models of the day were not able to estimate the true risk of extreme floods or prolonged drought, and that rare hydrological events were much more common than usually assumed.
In this lecture, I’ll review how high-resolution paleoenvironmental archives can help us judge more accurately the risks posed by the ‘Noah’- and ‘Joseph’-style events described by Mandelbrot and Wallis. I’ll give particular emphasis to the environmental information recovered from the rings of ancient trees, and explain how dendrochronology (tree-ring research) has been used to redefine the ‘flood of record’, test potential avenues for long-lead climate predictions, and gage the performance of state-of-the-art climate models.
I was asked by the local Young Farmer's Association to give a presentation on water quality issues, where we were currently in KY and what they might expect so far as regulation in the future

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
