This could be helpful for my AP, as it backs up the State Water Board's credibility in helping reduce the effects of water injustice. #W60Sustain

[California Water Boards @CaWaterBoards]

Did you know the State Water Board has a Fraud & Waste Prevention Unit that investigates cases where state funds are being misused or where false information has been provided for monetary gain?

Another solid water solution, this is one way Southern California citizens can participate. #W60Sustain

It’s time to swap your lawn for a water-wise yard! Lawns are a dime a dozen, while water-wise plants come in various beautiful flowers and foliage. Lawns require tons of maintenance, while water-wise plants need much less water. Visit https://t.co/FR89rJrrKc for resources.

Climate change leads to worsening drought, draining of Central Valley wells, and nitrate pollution becomes a sustainability issue, leading to less clean water for majority Latino DUC farmers.

[Samuel Quinones @samquci]

Water injustice - a lack of clean, affordable water in Central Valley DUCs damages the health of Latino farmers in the Valley, with unequal infrastructure and distribution being to blame.

Historically, the Californian government has instituted unjust water policy, and big agribusiness companies exacerbate the problem today.

#W60Sustain #CPAnalysis

[Samuel Quinones @samquci]

Consequently, the majority Latino population of farmers are denied access to clean, affordable water and bear the burden of drought and pollution issues even though they are the backbone of American agriculture.

[Samuel Quinones @samquci]

Thesis: Though the Central Valley boasts agricultural prowess, the Californian government has failed to address water injustice in unincorporated Central Valley towns it had a hand in creating.

@Zach7675531 @39CSustain I'm looking at drought in the Central Valley of California, looking into investigating how climate change interacts with politics in the matter! Likewise, excited to see your CP project! #W60Sustain

[Samuel Quinones @samquci]

Very true, farming and climate change are intricately related. I chose an area related to crops, but interesting to see how meat farming affects the climate.

[Milo Truong @milocqtruong]

I chose this issue because I think this topic is often under the radar when discussing climate change and not many people know the negative effects of excessive meat farming #W60Topic

[Samuel Quinones @samquci]

In the Central Valley, climate change has exacerbated natural drought periods, and unequal water distribution leaves Latino farmers in unfavorable situations.

I chose this issue because I wanted to learn more about drought, a key childhood climate concern.

[Samuel Quinones @samquci]

How has climate change increased the effects of drought in the Central Valley, who is affected the most by it, and does it relate to systemic injustice in water distribution?

https://t.co/xiXLopPLd8 Interesting use of multiple types of displays in the article to explain how Gilpin's unjust historical policy compounds with the effects of climate change.☀️

Interesting and informative read, Miami needs to take deliberate action to avoid becoming Atlantis.🌴🌊https://t.co/MDQlrCSdaW…
