Dan Sanders, a man who cleans water for farmers in Fall brook and North County,
Enlightens us on agriculture, water usage, and the economy.
Whilst foreign sources help greatly in produce, we dont want to be completely
Dependent on foreign sources, one reason being issues on pests. If we use foreign
Sources for food, we most likely gain countless diseases that, because of lack of
Immunity, could devastate the local crops that arent immune to the diseases brought
Over. For example, if you have a bug from Australia that has a natural pre at ad or
[There], but no natural pre at ad or in the U.S., then you can devastate that crop.
Hopefully we can create some innovations in technology to save water such as
Building more seawater desalination plants and water containment plants, change
The source of water from the Colorado river & Sierra Nevada to the Pacific ocean,
And switch the direction of river direction(somehow) from inland to coast to coast
To inland. If we dont receive any measurable rain water (which has not occurred since
2005-2006), We will probably see a shift their info structure in farming that is incredibly
Water intensive to different localities and continue with that industry or just stop
Farming altogether.
When asked about the human species and whether we use too much water,
He said I think people take their recourse or water for granted, earning they know if
They turn on the water itll come, and they dont have to pay that much for it.. So I
Think people are naive and because of their navety, they probably are likely to
Take advantage of the situation until it directly affects them. To say people use too
Much water has more political hurdles than we do on the consumer side of things.
He as lo explains that-basically- if humans didnt use water, no evaporation
Would occur, and even less precipitation would show.
