The Dust Bowl

One of the most fertile agricultural disasters in the country, one of the most fertile agricultural areas in the country. Since it was not raining, the crops did not grow and the soil was exposed to the wind that hit the land in the 1930s. During the sandstorm period, leaving only ridiculous land with areas over 150,000 square miles with areas of fertile land, including parts of five states (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico) Over 100 million acres of topsoil are full of mountains of land and dust (Ganzel).

The climate event in the American history was a drought of "sandstorm" that destroyed the state in the middle of America, Highplains. In the 1930s, the dust bowl nearly exhausted the already depressed US economy, resulting in losses of several million dollars. The plains of the United States are semi-arid areas or grasslands. The next most desert climate has a semi-arid climate less than 20 inches (510 mm) per year, exposing the drought to serious weather risks. More importantly, the plains are arranged. Strong wind then produces a sandstorm

This took place in the Great Plains in the United States in the 1930s. It is called a "dust bowl" because the dry soil is blown away by the huge cloud of dust that is choked by the peeled fixing base. During the Great Depression, the dust bowl lasted ten years, bringing terrible difficulties to many people. Love Canal is a Niagara Falls community in New York, owned by chemical companies and plastic companies. The company dumped 22,000 tons of chemical waste into the canal soil and covered it with a clay layer. Then they sold the place and the school and community built there. Due to serious soil contamination, this is not a safe place for people. Eventually they realized that people were sick in contaminated areas and the entire community was closed. It is important to provide safe water, food, wildlife, and clean soil to the house.

This strange thing that the earth and sand fell in the Midwest between the 1920s and the 1930s reminds us of the legislature that established the WSCC, especially to protect soil resources. "And to promote the protection of state renewable resources, control and prevention of soil erosion, prevention of flood and sediment damage, and water conservation, development, use and disposal at the agricultural and nonagricultural stage. Protection and promotion of damages to reservoirs, maintenance of navigation of rivers and ports, protection of wildlife, protection of tax base, protection of public land, health of people of the state, safety and general welfare
