Living in Florida in the winter, though, I am not one to throw stones about manipulating nature to serve man's ends. The two things that made southern Florida habitable at all were air conditioning and ways to eradicate mosquitos.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740227464249118134.post-64315927919586659412014-04-19T12:52:00.610-05:002014-04-19T12:52:00.610-05:00I'll have to get myself down there some day.

Phoenix had a year-round water supply back then from the Salt River.<br /><br />They used some of the same ancient canals built by Hohokams to irrigate the valley.<br /><br />The river no longer flows, except during large storms. 100% of the water is stored behind dams and used by the large urban population.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740227464249118134.post-69508512374253783262014-04-19T09:31:53.751-05:002014-04-19T09:31:53.751-05:00It is terrain that we see manipulation of the envi...It is terrain that we see manipulation of the environment to support places that shouldn't be there.
