Before 1933, what did parts of California’s Central Valley not have enough water for
Answer:
The Central Valley Project (CVP) is a federal power and water management project in the U.S. state of California under the supervision of the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). It was devised in 1933 in order to provide irrigation and municipal water to much of California's Central Valley—by regulating and storing water in reservoirs in the northern half of the state (once considered water-rich but suffering water-scarce conditions more than half the year in most years), and transporting it to the water-poor San Joaquin Valley and its surroundings by means of a series of canals, aqueducts and pump plants, some shared with the California State Water Project (SWP). Many CVP water users are represented by the Central Valley Project Water Association.
In addition to water storage and regulation, the system has a hydroelectric capacity of over 2,000 megawatts, and provides recreation and flood control with its twenty dams and reservoirs. It has allowed major cities to grow along Valley rivers which previously would flood each spring, and transformed the semi-arid desert environment of the San Joaquin Valley into productive farmland. Freshwater stored in Sacramento River reservoirs and released downriver during dry periods prevents salt water from intruding into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta during high tide. There are eight divisions of the project and ten corresponding units, many of which operate in conjunction, while others are independent of the rest of the network. California agriculture and related industries now directly account for 7% of the gross state product for which the CVP supplied water for about half.
Many CVP operations have had considerable environmental consequences, including a decline in the salmon population of four major California rivers in the northern state, and the reduction of riparian zones and wetlands. Many historical sites and Native American tribal lands have been flooded by CVP reservoirs. In addition, runoff from intensive irrigation has polluted rivers and groundwater. The Central Valley Project Improvement Act, passed in 1992, intends to alleviate some of the problems associated with the CVP with programs like the Refuge Water Supply Program.
In recent years, a combination of drought and regulatory decisions passed based on the Endangered Species Act of 1973 have forced Reclamation to turn off much of the water for the west side of the San Joaquin Valley in order to protect the fragile ecosystem in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and keep alive the dwindling fish populations of Northern and Central California rivers. In 2017 the Klamath and Trinity rivers witnessed the worst fall run Chinook salmon return in recorded history, leading to a disaster declaration in California and Oregon due to the loss of the commercial fisheries. The recreational fall Chinook salmon fishery in both the ocean and the Trinity and Klamath rivers was also closed in 2017. Only 1,123 adult winter Chinook salmon returned to the Sacramento Valley in 2017, according to a report sent to the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). This is the second lowest number of returning adult winter run salmon since modern counting techniques were implemented in 2003. By comparison, over 117,000 winter Chinooks returned to spawn in 1969

Explain why cross-referencing a topic is a good idea when conducting research.
because it allows a student to explore different points of view and come up with an angle
because it allows students to research different kinds of data bases and see what the rest of the publishing world thinks
because narrowing a topic is difficult and students always need to do more research
because narrowing a topic is one of the primary skills that all students must master before writing a paper
Answer: because it allows a student to explore different points of view and come up with an angle
Explanation:
Cross referencing is when several books, articles or journals are checked and referenced so that one can have different opinions and explanations with regards to a particular topic.
Therefore, based on the explanation, cross-referencing a topic is important for research purposes so that the researcher can have several opinions and then choose the best one or most ideal.

Read the excerpt from “A Journey West.” Now, I was thirteen and I'd been working my whole life. I was the leader of the family (after Momma and Daddy, of course). Everyone knew I was a hard worker who handled a plow and team as well as any man. I could gentle a horse with a look and a whisper. So my family always listened to me. They all knew that Rosetta liked to make up drama whenever she could. The first-person point of view in this excerpt allows the reader to understand Rosetta’s frustrations. Momma’s concerns.

Should individuals be prosecuted for statements made on social media ? Yes or no ?
Answer:
This question requires a personal answer. I will give you one as an example and you can agree or disagree, and be able to change it if you want to.
Explanation:
Using social media requires great responsibility. We have to assume that what we write may affect other people and assume that what we read may not be appropriate for us as well.
When a person's life is really affected by comments from one or more people on social media, then yes, individuals should be prosecuted. Especially when these cases turn into cyber bullying.
However, I think we all have opinions on any topic on social media and if the comments are not intended to hurt anyone, they could avoid a trial, or at least resort to a temporary account cancellation as a form of punishment.
it flows onto the land like a giant bulldozer, snapping trees like twigs.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
A) Underline the similes, visual and sound images and metaphors in the following
it flows onto the land like a giant bulldozer, snapping trees like twigs.
Answer:
it flows onto the land like a giant bulldozer, snapping trees like twigs.
Explanation:
The underlined part is similar.
The simile is a comparison made between two elements that have no relation at all, but that present a possible characteristic of comparison, thus forming a new meaning, which even subjective is capable of transmitting a clear message to the reader.
The sentence above compares an element with an excavator showing the destructive power that both possess.

My grandfather never called me by my English name. He liked to call me Yellow Feather in Pomo language. He said a yellow feather fell on his feet as he held me for the first time in his arms.
"Oh, how I miss watching yellow birds flying in Talahalusi, the beautiful land," Grandpa would tear up every time he remembered my birth in Napa Valley.
Then, he would talk about the wooden baskets he wove as I left him at the balcony and went to school. "Your grandmother's baskets were always more beautiful," he would say. My grandfather always looked curiously at my phone and wished I would pay attention to the birds instead.
We had moved from Napa Valley years ago, and now my grandfather was staying with us. Although he had brought his basket making materials with him, they lay mostly unwoven in his room. He spent much of his time sitting on the bench in the backyard.
I pressed my nose to the kitchen window, fogging the glass with my breath as I watched him sitting straight and stiff on the bench. On an impulse, I slid open the back door. Leaving my phone by the back door, I walked out and sat beside him on the bench.
He didn't acknowledge me, although I felt the flick of his gaze on me as I stared out at the woods that sheltered the span of land behind our house. It was nothing like the rolling green valleys I remembered from Napa, and I suddenly realized he was homesick. Not only that, but I began to feel a longing for Napa that I couldn't account for, a yearning that sang through my veins. A bird sand a sweet song from a nearby tree, and my grandfather tilted his head and smiled a little.
"You can hear that, Yellow Feather, now that you don't have your phone," he said with a chuckle.
For the first time, I realized that he held the key to a world that I needed to know about.
"Grandfather, will you teach me our history?" I said.
I could tell my question had caught him off guard, but he merely nodded, squeezing my hand as we listened to the birdsong.
