California lack of water

 Although it is not been posted all over social media and news stations California is at a water crisis of fresh/clean tap available. Contaminants such as arsenic, nitrates and 123-TCP are in 215,000 water service connections across the state of California and is a violation. 1 million people in California are being warned about this tap water contamination issue but way more are at risk, in the article it stated that 4 million people are at risk of contamination. Considering only around 40 million people live in California this is a huge issue.

    I went to visit my cousin at Carolina during the summer and he was telling me that they try not to waste water because they heard about the water crisis going on in their state. He didn’t tell me every details about it, but I was still in shock. The information you said in your blog has me worried about the people living in California.

    I enjoyed reading your post and it's weird how all of these states are having issues with there water. I remember a couple of post ago I talked about South Dakota and the states up north not having enough water and t sticks me. I think we have been getting so much rain that we don't even think if other states are getting the same amount as us.

    This is so crazy to think that something important such as a water crisis is not posted over social media or on the news. I am not surprised that California is having issues having clean available tap water by how dirty California is and how easy the water gets contaminated. 4 million people is a lot of people to be at risk and not able to use tap water. That means they will have to go through so many things like boiling the water before they do anything. Plus if they get water shipped to them that is going to have a set back as well. I feel that with so many people being at risk that this should be on the news and something should be done as soon as possible.

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Wildlife Conservation

  Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations.  With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the  World Wildlife Fund and  the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
