However, where Hospital Creek’s dry arroyo meets the river, the San Joaquín’s west bank stands on higher ground and does
The topic the essay is mainly talking about is whether to initiate the San Joaquin River Project. I am with Bill McEwen on his article, “River Plan Too Fishy for my Taste Buds.” I chose this author because I do not think the government should spend more money on the river rights project. The author convinced me that he is more credible and can be trusted by all the experience he has. The article was published in Fresno Bee on March 26,2009 and is surrounded by farms so the people there know what

According to research the San Joaquin valley is leading the agriculture world today, with its biggest crop being tomatoes. So why is the San Joaquin valley so big in agriculture? Well first you have to look at the physical environment of the valley. The San Joaquin Valley is known for the hot dry summers, but also the cool wet winters, it also sits in the middle of California down in the flat valley not up high in the curvy mountains.

scientific data. Currently, the Delta Smelt is classified as “threatened” by the United States government. By looking at the science behind the situation, I believe it is best to try to save the Delta Smelt. The Delta Smelt lives mainly in California’s San Francisco Bay Delta. It can grow to be only 7 cm. long and lives towards the bottom of the food chain. Serving as an important food source for the other fish in the delta, the smelt is also helpful for scientists as an ecological indicator. Ecologists

Throughout California there is a total of 1,404 dams(KQED). They can be small structures just holding back rivers and streams, or as big as lakes and reservoirs, supplying water to up to 20 different counties. Oroville dam is the largest dam in California and is located just outside of Oroville County near Sacramento. Construction began in the dam in 1961, and it finally opened 7 years later in 1968.

Water is a foundation for life on earth. Water is necessary for us to drink, bathe, cook, wash dishes, to manufacture, and so on. Even the human body is composed of 65% water. Almost everything we do involves the use of water, and yet, only 3% of the earth’s water is fresh water; and only one third of the freshwater is readily available for use. This small fraction supports all life on land. We rely on clean water to survive, but patterns of climate and human activity are threatening our clean
Santa Anna was a marvelous war hero and even addressed himself as “the Napoleon of the West.” With this confidence and his experience as a leader and war hero, it was a surprise to everyone when he lost the Battle of San Jacinto against the Texicans.
