Texas, with its abundances of natural resources, is facing a new demon, one that doesn’t even seem possible, a shortage of water. Water, without it nothing can survive. Texas is the second largest state for landmass in the nation and ninth for water square miles. Within the borders of Texas are more than 100 lakes, 14 major rivers, and 23 aquifers, so why has water become such an important issue for the state? Politicians and conservationists all agree that without a new working water plan, the state could be facing one of the most damaging environmental disasters they have ever seen. The issues that shape the states positions are population growth, current drought conditions, and who actually owns the water.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe currently fights to save its only water source from natural gas and oil contamination. This troubling current event has a somewhat forgotten historical analogue where very similar themes presented themselves. The Kinzua Dam Controversy, which took place in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, resulted in the displacement of over 600 Seneca Indian families and the acquisition of a large tract of traditional Seneca Land for dam building. Additionally, the acquisition of Seneca land represented a breach of “The Treaty with the Six Nations of 1794,” which explicated prevented such action by the US Government. The dam and its construction, which primarily benefitted Pittsburg, inspired a heated discourse concerning the ethics of native relocation.

government association developed in 1933 to control surges, upgrade course, improve the desires for regular solaces of farmers, and convey electrical power along the Tennessee River and its tributaries. The Tennessee River was obligated to genuine irregular flooding, and course along the conduit's middle course was upset by a movement of shores at Muscle Shoals, Ala. In 1933 the U.S. Congress left a bill working behind the TVA, thusly joining each one of the activities of the distinctive government associations in the zone and putting them under the control of a singular one. An immense program of building dams, hydroelectric making stations, and surge control wanders took after. The blend of an extensive extent of specific strengths with a sentiment social obligation to the region made the TVA enormous as a model of regular resource masterminding. Its region is generally limited to the leakage bowl of the Tennessee River, which covers parts of seven states: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The TVA is an open endeavor spoke to by a main collection of three administrators named by the president with the direction and consent of the Senate. The dependability of the TVA was immediately tried upon the association's establishment, nonetheless it was kept up by the Supreme Court by virtue of Ashwander v. Tennessee Valley Authority (1936) and in later decisions. The most disputable movement of the TVA is the generation and offer of electric power, which has been opposed by exclusive power organizations. The TVA contracts with districts and cooperatives to supply discount control for conveyance and has joined with them in obtaining the offices of exclusive electric-service organizations in the area. These buys have set up a coordinated power benefit zone in which the TVA is the sole provider of force. The TVA control framework, which incorporates more than 50 dams, and in addition

This chapter in our nation's history begins on May 18th of 1933, the day when President Roosevelt signed the Tennessee Valley Authority Act. The purpose of this act was to fix one of the many socioeconomic problems found during the times of the Great Depression, and helping the entire Tennessee Valley region would essentially help a greater portion of the American Society (1). To do this, a central authority was created within this region that focused on the usage and development of resources within the entire area. The overall goal of this authority was to improve agriculture, industry, methods to protect against flooding, and the quality of life throughout the Tennessee Valley. What was created by this act quickly brought this change to

Yet, humans have limited control on natural events, so this only reinforces the importance of managing water wisely. Recently California’s government has begun to focus more on sustaining and restoring the water supply. Dale Kasler (2016) articulates in his article some of the steps they have decided to make to solve this serious issue. The government has made the following investments: “$415 million for watershed restoration and other environmental aid for Lake Tahoe; up to $335 million for two proposed reservoirs in California, including the Sites reservoir north of Sacramento; $880 million for flood-control projects on the American and Sacramento rivers in Sacramento; and $780 million for flood-control projects in West Sacramento” (para. 10). This could be the first step to restoring the water to California. But these

An understanding of the notion of “water rights” in the eastern part of the United States is supported by two key questions (a) What can I do? (b) What can someone else do?

TVA damns helped control floods and also provided a source of hydroelectric power to the area. Never before had the federal government undertaken a project of such scope and maintained control over the public works it helped create. Reformers had pushed for the development of the nation's water resources a source of electricity but opposition from the utility companies had been too great to overcome. Hoover was one such opponent of government intervention in the free

The establishment of new financial institutions helped the “public works projects” to rise. One of the examples of these projects was the Tennessee River Valley in 1933. The government constructed 20 dams and coal-fired power plants with a purpose to provide electricity to poor areas. Although the project provided many benefits, it also created a quite few ecological concerns. Construction of dams flooded to many areas. Mining of coal caused pollution and erosion. The same situation was evident across the globe. Thailand has built 26 irrigation and hydroelectric projects since 1957. Most of them were financed by the World Bank. The country started
