Cleaning up Bodies of Water with the Rio Salado Project :: Environment Environmental Pollution Preservation

As I looked out the window of the eatery, I could depend the sun bouncing off the s approximate rangeling wet below. Boats and other water craft scatter the water as well as citizenry on water-skis and inner tubes. The picturesque view makes life seem so much better and just looking at the river makes a mortal calmer. The scene just described is the view from the window of a restaurant called Sophia in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the corresponding river is the mighty Mississippi. Although Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes, this scene could be found right here in the valley of Phoenix. The way this is executable is by the Rio Salado Project. After the Roosevelt Dam dammed the Salt River in 1911, the bed that form in its place has become a garbage-infested hole stretching through a large potion of the valley. In 1966 a group of architecture students at ASU first proposed the approximation of the Rio Salado Project to a community-wide audience. It was approved by the legislat ive assembly in 1980 and extensive final causening has been underway since. The project will contemplate 26 miles of the dry river bed, fill it in with purified wastewater, and make it into a 7,000-acre park over the next 2 decades (Rio Salado Development District 1). I conceive that we should continue with construction on the Rio Salado Project because of all its benefits to the valley area. The plan I am proposing is comprehensive of some plans already proposed since Rio Salado was first an idea over 30 years ago. The difference is that my plan combines the positive features of many different plans to make a new one. This includes ensuring that Town Lake provides a steady-going environment for all activities, providing flood control, encouraging development along the river, promoting recreation, change the regional quality of life, attaining the economic benefits of the area, while still maintaining the historical inwardness of the area. Up until the early 1900s, the Salt R iver string uped without any control or restraints. However, it was a burden for travelers on the trail leading from Prescott to Tucson. In 1911 the Roosevelt Dam was strengthened upstream from Tempe and the flow was reduced until in the late 1930s when the river ceased to flow altogether. Many people have often wondered what it would be like if the riverbed would once again be filled with water.
