The Importance Of Water In The Colorado River

102 Words1 Page

I believe that the people that are near the Colorado River should have the right to get water before the farmers. A reason on why I think that the people should get the water before the farmers is because farming takes a lot of water. Farming takes tons of water in order for the plants to grow properly and with the amount of water you would use to water all of the plants, the people could have had lots of extra water.
In conclusion, I believe that the people should be able to use the water because farming takes too much water.

  • Standing Rock Sioux Reservation Case Study

    760 Words  | 4 Pages

    Initial federal permits, and partnership with affected tribes, were treated as a “check the box” exercise. Nowhere was there a careful analysis of how much the Missouri River crossing threatened water quality and tribal treaty rights. Nowhere was there a thoughtful public discussion of whether a new major oil pipeline should be placed in a river providing drinking water to 17 million people. And one had to pore over hundreds of pages of technical data to learn that the original route of the pipeline crossed the river just north of Bismarck, N.D. — a capital city that is nearly 90 percent white — and was moved to Standing Rock only when regulators expressed concern over the risk of a spill to the city’s water

  • Native American Pipeline Pros And Cons

    533 Words  | 3 Pages

    Over the past years Native Americans had cared for their own sacred lands, the story and religion that their primogenitors had taught them. The Native Americans had still carried the strong belief, that their land shall stay the same as if it should've been until new people had come in from elsewhere to change the land to something we all see outside till this day. However, there is a new project “The Dakota Access Pipeline” that had crossed the line of Native American trust between the new people that had changed everything the Natives had had since their ancestors were still living. No matter what effect the pipeline puts on most people there are some positive causes that can change a person such as protesters to think positive towards the pipeline being built on Indian reservation land. Even if the pipeline can cause many people to have a thought that the pipeline should not be built, only if they can hear from both sides, they can have a second thought and allow the pipeline to be built.

  • The Pros And Cons Of The Dakota Access Pipeline

    921 Words  | 4 Pages

    This year has been really hectic, with protests and elections alike. Something that had to do with the protests part is the Dakota Access Pipeline, or DAPL. Most people would probably think that the Dakota Access Pipeline is just another pipeline, like the Alaska pipeline, except, it's not just another pipeline. The reason why DAPL is important is because of the fact that it is running over ancient indian land, and not only that it is going over their water source. The clean water the Sioux once had could be gone in just a few months with DAPL going over the standing rock’s water (Michael Bennet).
