Number of Pages 5

This research paper: This is a 5 page paper discussing federalism in regards to watershed and water system deterioration in the U.S. Geoffrey O’Gara’s book “What You See in Clear Water: Life on the Wind River Reservation” touches on a local watershed issue which has seen the involvement of local, state and federal authorities and agencies which has not led to the betterment of the water system. The Native Americans in Wyoming near the Wind River want to reclaim the watershed rights in order to reclaim and revitalize the water system. The state however wants to maintain control of the water system. This is one example of state and federal mismanagement across the United States which has seen a massive depletion in the fauna in the water systems and almost half of the rivers and lakes in the country considered threatened by the Environmental Protection Agency. Federalism has retained control over the water system mainly because of the factors which have endangered the systems such as agriculture, industry, grazing and urbanization are all considered “better” for the economy of the nation.
