Southwest - Water Issue Southwest Research Proposal

It is clear that conservation is needed. If the water that is left in the Southwest Basin is squandered, it will disappear completely. Land use planning is also vital, because there are many different things that land around the Southwest Basin can be used for - or not used for. When farms expand and urban areas are built, they cut into the water that currently exists, and this cannot continue without some way to get more water. It is necessary for leaders who have control over these types of issues to stop people from continuing to deplete water resources through the use of conservation measures and proper planning for the land that is left....

While more land is often needed for development, consideration needs to be given to how fast that development takes place and the resources that are available to support it.
