Arizona

Now in the world there are some different opinions about what is more important between economy and environment, and what we have to support first. In addition, people who are thinking about the future and the next generation agree with protecting the environment. One important part of the environment is groundwater. In addition, there is something that affects the groundwater, which is pollution. However, we have two kinds of pollution: first, natural pollution such as volcanoes, and this is a part nobody can do anything with; the second is pollution by human activity, and that we should find some solutions for to make our lives better. In addition, Arizona is an example of a place that has pollution from human activity. In Arizona, there is fast development and that leads to affecting the groundwater, because with a number of people should happen some bad behavior. So we have to support that idea to control the development in Arizona. However, some government laws in Arizona help to move people and that is not good for the state. In this article "Nevada Company wants to pump Arizona water," the author says, "Arizona law says water can be taken out of the state" (2006, para. 16). On the other hand, some companies want from buy the water to use the groundwater to make more money. In this article "Nevada Company wants to pump Arizona water" the author explains that, "a Nevada Company wants to reach across the border into northwestern Arizona to pump groundwater and pipe it back to growing Mesquite" (2006, para. 1). Finally, from that statement we can understand that there is fast development in Arizona and the amount of groundwater is going down. So we should support that idea of controlling fast development, because crowding people in one place is not good for people, animals or plants.

The definition of groundwater is the amount of water below the earth. In addition, the effects of reducing the groundwater it will be clear during the time. In addition, some people cannot have their right; because of that, governments should try to make a good law to give the people their right. According to K. Watkins (2006, para. 11), "Growing scarcity means more competition. And as William Mulholland taught us all those years ago, competition without good governance can turn ugly especially for those without power.” In addition, there is research for population growth in the future, which tells us about a big problem in the future. In this article "Water: Arizona struggles to meet growing demand" (2006, para. 2) the author tell us that "the west's population is expected to grow by 40 million people by 2030, and almost one-quarter of that growing will be in Arizona". That means 10 million people will come and use the groundwater in Arizona. Moreover, the importance of controlling the development is not to protect the people only; it is also to protect the water. In the article "Water: Arizona struggles to meet growing demand," the author quoted Sandy Bahr as saying "we need to protect people, but also need to protect flowing rivers and streams. And they're not just important for us right now, but also for future generations" (2006, para. 5). On the other hand, some countries are going to make laws to protect the groundwater, and any thing that affects it like the fast development in Arizona.

First, the government of the United States has to control the extraordinary development in Arizona because that is not good for people. However, there is unbelievable development in Arizona. Davenport (2007, para. 9) says, "Arizona is the nation's fastest state growing state." In fact, the number of people in one place will lead to bad health; we can learn that from some of the surveys about the differences in people’s health in small or big cities; people in small cities have better health than people in big cites. The reason is that in a big city, there are more cars, factories, and building smoke, but in small cities, the amount of all of those is less. Moreover, the crowding of people in one place leads to the pollution in Arizona; the water of the nation's now in an unhealthy phase. (Water pollution, 2006.) In addition, now in Arizona they have some problems with less water. If more people go to Arizona, that means less water and the problem will become bigger. For example, in the capital of Saudi Arabia we have some big problem with water, because more people have moved to live in Riyadh. Moreover, the presence of a large number of people in one place, especially with their cars and factories, would lead to an impact on the environment. Finally, people should not think about themselves only; they have to think about environment.

Next, we have to support controlling the development in Arizona, because there is a smaller number of animals in Arizona and they cannot live without any water. However, we have to control the use of water to keep their life. If a number of people move to this area, they need to use water, then the animals will not find any water and that would lead to killing animals. In addition, the number of animals will decrease during that time, because the nature of life requires hunting to live or indirect impact on food from erosion. For example, if there is a wolf and he lives when he eats deer, in this situation, when people hunt deer that will lead to the extinction of two types of animals, which are wolves and deer. So if people focus in one place, that will lead to losing the amount of animals and plants in that area. Finally, we have to support that idea to control moving people to Arizona, because we cannot live without animals and we have to protect them.

Third, the decrease in the amount of plants is one of the big reasons for not allowing people to move to Arizona, because plants are important to our life and in the desert area like Arizona there are fewer plants than in the other places. In addition, the amount of water in Arizona is not enough and the trees are dying. In the article "Parts of lush wash sanctuary are drying," the author quoted Lyman as saying "The water table has dropped, so the trees are dying" (n.d. para. 5). However, now in any big cities, like in Arizona, people should have industries and buildings, and need a wide area to build their houses, which leads to a decrease in the plants in that area and in a large amount of land. In addition, in Arizona when someone wants to build a house, he needs to uproot some plants to have places to build on. That will lead directly to damaging the amount of planted areas. Finally, a large number of factories in one place are not good for the environment, and people should distribute them to different regions, because if there are people in a particular place, there will be a large number of factories.

A small number of people are arguing that controlling development and not allowing moving people to Arizona is not good. In addition, they said people need to live in warm weather. That is not true. If we agree with every possible wish of people, maybe there will come a time, when people kill themselves to get to eat; because of that, government has to control that, and distribute people in many areas. In addition, if there are large numbers of people in one place, that will affect and damage the environment. Also, that will decrease the plants and animals. Finally, the problem of moving people and fast development can be limited by government, and people should try to get another way to have water in their places.

In conclusion, limiting and controlling the extraordinary development will help people, animals, and plants to have a good life in Arizona. In addition, sometimes people don't think about the future and the next generation; they only think about themselves and their lives. In addition, they do not think more about the environment. For these reasons, government should try teaching people and make many programs on the televition to teach the children and make some research to get the solution to decrease the moving of people, and to get the acceptend of people to stay in their lands or find new places for them to live in. Moreover, Arizona is a good place, but people, animals and plants need to have a chance to live with a good situation. Finally, people should have the responsibility themselves to help the governments to control the development in each place.

Arizona

In this article, “Nevada Company wants to pump Arizona water,” the author explains different opinions about companies and corporation members. A Nevada Company wants to use Arizona water to pump it to another area, and they try to get support from the Arizona Department of Water. In addition, they face some strong opponent who says, “Arizona groundwater should stay in Arizona” (2007, para. 2.) Moreover, some other companies want to use the water in Arizona and they try to make the community disappear. In addition, author tells us that some of the near cities of Arizona have been developing quickly. One of the rich men in Las Vegas bought land on the other side of Arizona; the reason is that water in this area is available. In the article Winters said, “we can serve 40,000 to 45,000 people here with water supplies we know we can get;” that means he doesn’t want to lose the water, and he want to keep the water cheaper. Finally, the author explain that the law of Arizona allow to use the water out of the state.

Water now is a big problem for people because they worry about the next generation and some of them do not understand the need next generation. In addition, in many places in the world there are problems with different opinions about the needs and the rights of using water. Some companies want to control the availability of water, but they should not have the right for that because they do not care about multitudes of water, they do not care about pollution, and they are thinking about money.

First, companies should not have the ability to use water in Arizona, because if the companies get the right to use water in Arizona, they will go to use the water without looking at the amount of water and that would lead to losing the water in the next few years. In addition, if they have the government check with these companies, that does not mean they can control the uses of the amount because in any place there are some bad guys in government who would allow companies to use the water because they are thinking only about money. Finally, we should support that idea to control the use of water from government or community.

Next, the other reason to support the idea of controlling the use of water and not giving companies the right to use water in Arizona is that companies always are thinking about money and they do not care about pollution. When they sell the water that means many factories will be beside the river and that will lead to having more waste in that area. In addition, that will lead to having people crowd in one place and people will cause many damages in that area. Finally, they should help government to keep their water.

Finally, the goal of any company is to have more money; because of that, we should support the idea of not giving companies a chance to use groundwater. In fact, when we talk about any company in the world, we know they are searching for money and in the situation of groundwater, we cannot give them chance to get their goal and damage groundwater, because the next generation has a right to use the water. Finally, to help our grandchildren we have to not give company any chance to use the water.

In conclusion, we should support that opinion to not allow companies to use the groundwater, because companies do not worry about the amount of water. In addition, they lead to the pollution, and the goal of each company is only to get more money. Therefore, it is necessary for all the governments in world to start to make strong laws to control the uses of water. Finally, nobody can control the people in the world because, those people should have the responsibility in them selves.

Groundwater

In his article entitled "Arizona lawmakers OK new water management power in rural areas," Davenport tells us that the lawmakers in Arizona voted to increase the efforts to encourage the rural areas to establish new systems to control the use of water and control development. After the historic legislation to preserve the groundwater in 1980 legislative approval came in 2005. In addition, Davenport claims that growth "has started to crowd some rural parts of the state, leaving some straining to secure adequate water supplies" (2007 p.1). Davenport goes on to say, "In parts of eastern and northern Arizona, residents have to truck in water" (2007 p.1). Moreover, he explains some of the rural areas, authority and law. For example, Napolitano said "with our population growth, water management is essential". Finally, Davenport said might start a new grant fund without formal adoption and some of the supporters said it would take some help from the government.

Now in the world, people have a big problem with water, and many countries do not have adequate reserves of water. However, some of them do not have any plan for the future. In addition, people need water and we have to support the idea of creating new laws to conserve groundwater in the world, because all people have the right to use water, to keep the prices down and to give chances for the next generations.

First, the main test for making a law is to protect people from Influential people who exploit higher position and money for water consumption at the expense of the people. For example, what happens with poor farmers when the rich farmer takes the groundwater, and does not give anything to them because they do not have good relationship with the government worker. In addition, this event may be the possible cause of the death of a group of people at the expense of the welfare of others. In the end, we have to agree with the new groundwater law.

Next, the other reason to support the idea to make new laws for groundwater is that the costs of water are growing up. If we have a small quantity of water with a large number of people, that will lead to the high cost of water. For example, in the case of electricity, when the population demand is growing, the prices go up. Water is indispensable and that will lead to high prices when there is a paucity of water. In the end, we must support any law that helps maintain water.

Finally, the next generation has a right to the groundwater. In addition, we have to accept a new law to keep and control the use of groundwater. For example, try to recycle the water for some uses or make some service for the water pump. Moreover, if we spend all the water with bad usable we will help to decrease the usable quantity in the earth. Finally, to help our grandchildren, we have to encourage the government to make new laws.

In conclusion, we should support that opinion for the rural areas, because people need that, to keep their right, to not increase the cost of water and to give other generations chances to live. Therefore, it is necessary that world government start to create laws to help people. Finally, if the governments make laws, that will leads to great life without worry about water.
