Entry #5: Arizona Water Crisis

 This article addresses the very important water crisis we are facing here in Arizona. Climate change has made the extremely important Colorado river which Arizona relies on for much of its water supply become scare in resources. I found the rhetoric of this post to be appropriate for the topic at hand. The author remained professional while at the same time giving suggestions on how to handle the water crisis without making it seem overly bias or like an opinion piece. 

I thought this piece was very interesting and I appreciated the way it addressed the larger effects this and other water related problems can have on the environment and their contribution to larger climate disasters. The author mentions the impact this can have on farmers and subsequently our food supply. This article also vaguely touches on the ways in which the climate crisis is already impacting lower impact people and how they will be hit the worse by climate changes full effects if it's not combated. The discusses one of the proposed solutions to the water crisis that would drastically increase the cost of water.
