It was a right thing to bring back the river, not only to bring back the Salmon , but also to help the environment. Daniel Weintraub writes, “... the warring parties.. are working together on a project that should benefit the environment.. fishing industry and local economy”(3).This affirmation is describing that not only are the warring groups coming together, but they are helping the environment by bringing back the river. To bring back the San Joaquin
People are trying to restore the Everglades but, problems keep coming up. One of them is money to do the projects. In 2004 the Supreme Court made the choice to establish an $8.4 billion project to help the Everglades, which helped a ton. In “Water Quality Nearly Halts Everglades Restoration” states that “A settlement between Florida’s governor, the Obama Administration, and the sugar industry has led to The Everglades Restoration Act, a bill that would invest $880 million in state money to restore water quality in the Everglades.” People have been trying to fix the Everglades and thanks to their efforts the Everglades is almost
In Cleveland, Ohio there was a fire that occurred on June 22, 1969, around 12pm on the Cuyahoga river. People called it the “burning river”. The river caught on fire because there were floating pieces of debris that was slicked with oil. The debris ignited by sparks that came from a train that was passing over the river. The reason it happened is from years of people dumping pollution into the river.
With residents moving to the new town site in Craig County, many where in need of purchasing land. Ealum and Minnie Bell (Lynch) Gregory sold approximately forty acres of their Delaware land to residents. The purchase of the land was used to establish homes and begin building businesses.

However, when the Pensacola Dam was completed in March of 1940 the water way of the Grand River began filling
In the passage from Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How it Changed America, writer John M. Barry details the many complexities of the Mississippi river and juxtaposes its characteristics with many other well known rivers in order to communicate and share his fascination with the river to the audience. One of the most stand out ways in which writer John Barry conveys his fascination with the river to others is through intense description of the many complexities of the Mississippi river. Rather than simply stating the flow of the river, Barry opts to incorporate words such as “extraordinarily dynamic combination” and “tremendous turbulence” to paint a vivid picture in the reader’s minds. Barry’s word choice in describing
Have you ever seen a yellow river? Golden river, not so golden after all. In Colorado there was a mine spill in the Animas River that affect many people, animals and their land. The Animas River was polluted with with toxic chemicals that have left an environmental disaster and people can get diseases, from the water, leaving people to wonder if their way of life will ever be the same. The Animas river flowed a yellow color through several states contaminating hundreds of miles of land and the biggest indian reservation in the nation.
The Atchafalaya River is the third- ranking river on the earth. It’s located in South Louisiana, with its base the gulf coast from the mouth of the Mississippi river almost to Texas, its two sides coming together up near the lock and not including New Orleans or Baton Rouge. The Mississippi river with its sand and stuff has created most of Louisiana and couldn’t have done it by remaining in one channel. If it did then southern Louisiana would be a long peninsula reaching into the Gulf of Mexico. Southern Louisiana is still in its form now because the Mississippi river jumped here and there with an arc bout two hundred miles wide.
“The Artificial River” by Carrol Sherriff is a look into the innovations behind the Design of the structure of the Erie Canal. She emphasizes the correlation between it and the Market Revolution, the people in Upstate New York, and all the benefits from it. She analyses and provides information about the main supporters and also the lower class how constructed the canal. In the beginning of the book Sherriff focuses more of her attention towards the people inhabiting the carol corridor and their outlook and opinion towards the structure of this massive new idea for the expansion of America and the cause and effect of this object in their life. She reflects the opinions between the different classes but tells that "upstate New Yorkers generally
For example, “on the Columbia river, which 100 years ago boasted the largest runs of Chinook, Coho and steelhead on the face of the globe, these same fish have declined to the point of receiving serious consideration for the federal government’s threatened or endangered species list.” The deterioration of the wild salmon, according to Brown, is from logging, overfishing, hatcheries, and dams, basically all human related activities. Logging and clear-cutting damages all habitats and “literally flattens many creatures chances for life.” For the salmon it causes blockades that disrupts the fishes migrating patterns, or ruins their spawning grounds all together simply from trees being dragged across the stream beds.
To begin, the history of the Florida Everglades would amaze you. Imagine having no fresh water to drink or do anything with. “The construction and population increase in the Everglades upset is fragile ecosystem, and cut off the flow of fresh water to the Everglades.” As stated on page 113 and paragraph 4.
The film At the River I Stand was a very interesting film that went back to the civil rights movement and told the dream that Martin Luther King had and how his dream has come a long way. This film took place in 1968 in Memphis, TN. It focused on how African Americans were excluded out and were paid low wages and worked in poor working conditions. Not only did they go on strike to gain equality, but they also wanted to stand up for what’s right. Being though Martin Luther King was assassinated during this film, African Americans started more riots all over the country to fight for justice.
This quote is meaning that hopefully once the river is restored, the salmon will swim upstream again. This proves that fishermen around the area will have their businesses again and people will come more often to the river. Also, not only salmon will be swimming in the
Eert is a small, peaceful river valley that believes strongly in religion and takes pride in its culture. Citizens rely on their Tree God, Branchy, to grant them good harvests, hunts, and rain water. As long as citizens please Branchy with their annual sacrifices, they receive what they pray for. Citizens rely mostly on farming for their food, although hunting is common. The land is very fertile and is great for farming because of the flood that occurs once a year and the rain that certain areas of the island receives.
A film was made that showed the efforts of doing so. Text says, “We are fighting Mother Nature… It’s a battle we have to fight day by day, year by year; the health of our economy depends on victory” (McPhee 3). The goal was to stop and slow down the flow of the river before too much of it reached other areas like the Atchafalaya bay or flooded
