Sweetwater Reserve (S-i'ovi Shuhthagi)
Arizona is undeniably hot. Therefore any places that can provide water will need protected. They have a network of dams that seem to provide irrigation assistance to the local farming community. If the local authorities did not take this approach then it is possible that the entire economic fabric of Arizona would be spectacularly disrupted. During the heated debates about immigrations and the restriction bills that were challenged by the federal justice department, one of the aspiring political candidates suggested the withdrawal of air conditioning to immigrants.
Even the most hard-hearted person felt that that would be a step too far. The climate of Arizona requires that there are measures to assist people who are involved in economic activities. Many domestic homes have air conditioning facilities in order to improve the quality of life that they lead. The preservation of the Sweetwater (S-i'ovi Shuhthagi) will provide the ability to create a climate that is suitable for the economic activities within the area. At the moment 700 acres are earmarked for the reserve.
Preserving sustainable development in Sweetwater (S-i'ovi Shuhthagi)
One can understand the enthusiasm for development especially given the current difficulties that the nation is facing in terms of unemployment. However unfettered development can create imbalances that end up costing the government a lot of money when it is attempting to correct them. The Sweetwater (S-i'ovi Shuhthagi) is a pre-emptive strike in as much as it puts conservation firmly on the agenda. Often a faux debate has developed between the political Left and Right arms. Those on the left would have us believe that no development should take place if it endangers the climate of the area.
On the political Right we have people who believe that developments should take place, regardless of the implications for the environment. These are extreme points of view. The practical approach is a compromise between development and conservation. It seems that the Sweetwater (S-i'ovi Shuhthagi) reserve has been able to strike the right note. There is a lot of credit that should be given to the planners for their vision in these matters. We cannot also forget the individual members of the community who have been at the forefront of the efforts to ensure that the developments in Sweetwater (S-i'ovi Shuhthagi) are sustainable. They have also been active in checking the local planning laws to ensure that no one is granted special privileges.
