    The Sheyenne River Valley was originally occupied by the Cheyenne tribe, they were once known as the Chaa, and remained there until the early 18th century. The Cheyenne tribe’s first encounter with white people in 1680 didn’t end nicely for them. The encounter ended up with the Cheyenne tribe being moved from their home and west to the Great Plains. To make life easier in the Great Plains the Cheyenne switched lifestyles and became nomadic buffalo hunters and started living in tepees instead of earth - covered lodges. They were separated into warrior clans but, in 1832, the Cheyenne tribe was split into two groups, the Northern Cheyenne and Southern Cheyenne. The Northern Cheyenne was found along the Platte River while the Southern Cheyenne…

    All in All, Mud, River, Stone by Lynn Nottage, was truthfully the most eye-opening experience in theater I have ever had the great privilege to be a part of, a realistic look at the way our society views foreign problems but also how we deal with them in retrospect to ourselves once again making the very loud statement that if it doesn’t directly affect us then it doesn’t necessarily matter. I am beyond pleased at our very successful run from February 11th-Feburary 14th not only for the work that we did as a cast but also for successfully turning the mirror in so our audiences could see out.…

    For this assignment, the chosen poem was “Rivers/Roads” by Michael Crummey. In this poem, Crummey successfully expresses the difference between individual journey’s through subtle brevity and depth. One of the best aspects of this poem is that it moves the reader to ponder on their journey-- whether on rivers or roads. Within “Rivers/Roads”, there are no similes or metaphors; however, there is literal and figurative imagery, plus symbolism.…

    Since the indigenous community depend so largely on nature; such as the forests, rivers, lakes, trees, animals, birds and fish, it is not easy to separate social from environmental impacts. For example, Bone touches on how the destruction of a wetland habitat on which moose and beaver depend can have a devastating social impact on those who depend them for food.…

    Target for severe criticism from biologists, environmentalists, and the Brazilian population, the construction of the Belo Monte dam is becoming increasingly unfeasible, both for environmental and social reasons. It is certain that the Belo Monte dam will bring benefits to the country, but the damages caused to the population and the environmental health of the region surpass any positive aspect of this dam. The dam's installed capacity of at least twelve thousand megawatts is the third largest in the world. This dam means a major breakthrough for Brazil in terms of the supply of renewable energy, which is free of polluting emissions. It also generated jobs and favored economic development, not only in the region, but also in the country. But all of this glory falls apart when considering the absolute damage to nature and society. The Belo Monte dam will soon flood the history of several Indians,…

    Aquifer Depletion 2

    • 743 Words
    • 3 Pages

    An aquifer is an underground layer of water bearing rock. Many areas on earth have an underlying aquifer, which can supply fresh water through the use of a well. Aquifers were first tapped for water in the early 1900 's for irrigation. Aquifers were originally believed to be an inexhaustible resource thus humans began tapping them for municipal and industrial uses as well (Aquifer, 2007). Now, many countries are over pumping aquifers in a struggle to fulfill their growing water supply demands. For example, in the United States, the water levels of the Ogallala aquifer have been lowered 100 feet at a rate of 40 times faster than nature can refill it (Lester, 2007). While aquifers are critical to human habitation and farming, they can be and are being over exploited.…

    Waterlogging in Guwahati

    • 513 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Waterlogging is mainly caused due to the poor drainage system of the city, aided by heavy rainfall. The drainage system in Guwahati is not yet fully developed. The drains are very narrow as they have not been upgraded since many decades. Also, the garbage, which is very often thrown in the drains, tends to block the path of the sewage. Hence the water, having no place to accumulate, gets overflowed and fills the streets. Although it is common for the streets to get waterlogged, yet it is uncommon for the major roads and the national highway to submerge in it. But as it has been noticed, the major roads and the national highway too have problems of waterlogging which is now a fresh issue. The drains by their sides do not have the capacity to hold the rainwater which rushes down the hills. In very heavy rainfall, the result is threatening. People often get problems in travelling from one place to another. The city gets drowned for several hours. In some areas, water takes days to evaporate from the streets. Traffic gets stopped for hours. Schools and colleges remain closed and so the shops and markets. There is often shortage of drinking water as it gets mixed with sewage. The city comes…
