Discuss the importance of water to the West
What will be an ideal response?
Students should immediately recognize that access to water dominated the lives of westerners. Farming and mining both required large amounts of water, and students should investigate how these industries made use of the resource. Furthermore, students should recognize how water threatened to limit urban growth and how cities responded. Finally, a good essay should assess the environmental consequences of the efforts to put water to use in the West.
