Document Summary
Consider the natural premodern environment of southern california. The influence of los angeles and development in so cal on the colorado river. In your own lives, as students of uci. Every segment of ca is under water stress. The video clips of the yellow river and new delhi, refugee camps in africa. Who owns the rain based on the case in bolivia. Corporations want to charge for water but the people are poor and cannot afford adequate amounts. Hard to get water into refugee camps because they need to transport through helicopters- because the camps are large it is hard to give enough water and helicopters can"t carry that much water. Overexploitation of these rivers by the large populations especially in india. Very expensive to desalinate the water from rivers and oceans. Understand the concept of environmental surprise and apply that concept to hurricane pam, hurricane katrina, superstorm sandy and typhoon haiyan.
