In the article “California Drought: Governor Jerry Brown Issues Water Rules” for the Cable News Network, Ray Sanchez explains how Governor Jerry Brown is taking drastic measures to reduce California’s water usage. To do that, he has established many rules and restrictions on the people of California, as well as its businesses and farms. Governor Brown states that this drought needs extraordinary actions, as it has shown in the Sierra Nevada Mountains which has lost snow and are now covered with dry and brown grass. I agree with Sanchez and Governor Brown about imposing these rules and restriction on the people of California because these restrictions are going to help guide California out of the drought or at least help maintain and not let this drought get any worse than it already is. I agree with the author because in the article he provides good support to show why these rules need to be enacted upon

The other portion leave, because of the large amounts of poverty and the isolation. This First Nations Community has been under a water boil advisory for over 20 years.

Giving coal corporations access to the water that belongs to the Hopi and the Navajo will only aid the rapid rates of the scarcity of water. The coal business will use the water to generate electricity; this process pollutes and effects the quality of the waters and wells that used to be readily available to people like the Navajo and the Hopi. The coal corporation is also violating one of the cornerstones suggested in Hurd’s powerpoint which states “new appropriations…must not harm, impair, damage, or diminish the rights of other appropriators.” The fact that the Bill plans on taking away the water of the Hopi and Navajo tribes and
