The Riverview Company has dug numerous wells in Arizona over the past six years. Photo: Guardian. Cynthia Beltran arrives in Sunizona, the center of Cochise County in the state of Arizona, USA in the fall of 2020. Although the area lacks potable water, Beltran can’t do anything because of financial constraints. Also due to lack of money, she accepted to manage 100 USD a week to buy water, instead of spending 15,000 USD to deepen the existing well in the new apartment. With a man with only a part-time job, Beltran soon surrendered to the $100-a-week payment and was forced to live with the help of his neighbors. “I’ve run out of options,” she said. Beltran is not the only case of the Willcox basin, which is about 5,200 square kilometers in Arizona. According to the state Department of Water Resources (ADWR), 78 wells dug between 2015 and 2019 have dried up. This number could increase to 100 in a few months. Several homes in Sunizona have been abandoned because the owners cannot afford to deepen an existing well or dig a new one. However, even with the ability to pay, there is no guarantee the drilling will be successful. Sunizona residents attribute the situation to the fact that Riverview, based in Minnesota, began digging wells with depths of 300-800 meters. They’ve been doing this since the beginning of 2015, and they’re causing the groundwater level to drop more and more. Riverview is not the first well drilling company in Sunizona, but they are the largest and deepest digging organization. Within 5 years, from January 2015 to November 2020, the number of wells in the area increased from 494 to 898. Kevin Wulf, a spokesman for Riverview, acknowledged the impact of the increase in the number of wells but believes it is not the only cause. “It is rumored that we came to dry the valley, then left. But no way, we do.” There is no question that Riverview changed the economic landscape of the Willcox Basin in just a few years. The company turned this place into an economic center thanks to the dairy farming and trading industry. They spent $38 million to buy Coronado dairy cows and bid for 2,600 hectares of land in the Kansas Settlement, north of Sunizona, on the day they started their business. To date, the company has spent about $180 million more to own more than 20,000 hectares of land, mostly agricultural land. The size of the company’s cow herd is estimated at about 150,000 cows. Sources close to Riverview say that the parent company prefers to invest in Arizona because the natural and climatic conditions are similar to the California valley where they have been successful. In addition, in this western state, there is no law regulating the amount of water pumped by each farmer household. “The Willcox Basin is the Wild West. The water there is free to use without any strings attached. As long as you have money to drill a well, you have water and no other planning or reporting,” said Kristine Uhlman, a retired hydrologist at the University of Arizona. Surrounded by five mountain ranges, the aquifer of the Willcox Basin is abundant. Before large-scale agricultural pumping started around 1940, the aquifers there had enough water to service Tucson, the nearest major city at the time, for 970 years, ADWR reports. Unlike the Southwest, the saline part of the aquifer of the Willcox Basin is only about 30 meters, and most of it is fresh water below. Uhlman says that in some areas, groundwater can be several kilometers above the surface. Because of this speculation, the Riverview Company and water-starved farmers have been descending into the valley for about a decade. However, due to lack of management, from 1940 to 2015, the groundwater level here decreased from 60 to 90 meters compared to the pre-development level. A retired ADWR official said the rate of decline increased from 0.6-1.2 meters a year before 2015 to 0.9-1.5 meters a year after 2015, when Riverview arrived. business. A water well in Arizona has risen by nearly 1 meter due to drought. Photo: AZ. According to an independent study by ADWR, Riverview drilled about 21% of the 315 new wells between January 2015 and October 2019. Specific numbers were not disclosed, but Riverview spokesman Wulf said: “Our total water usage is carefully monitored internally. We support state law that requires the measurement of all rural wells. This proposal has stalled in recent years, because of objections from other farmers.” Riverview’s claim to reduce water use causes a lot of skepticism. Two veteran local farmers, Joe Salvail and John Hart, say that while many residents have left their homes due to lack of water, Riverview has ramped up off-season planting, maintaining a two-crop-a-year rate. These factors increase the total amount of water used. In 2015, a group of farmers, ranchers, and government officials proposed the installation of meters on wells. Even so, the plan has created deep divisions within the community and the state legislature. “The leaders back then had no say. Almost no one wants to talk about it anymore,” Hart said. The prospect of Sunizona in particular and Arizona in general, in the long term, is forecasted to be bleak. According to ADWR research, if pumping levels are kept at the current level, water levels will drop by as much as 280 meters in the Kansas Settlement by 2115, compared with 1940 levels. According to the agency, most of the water remains in the strata The reservoir will be so deep that it will be almost impossible to pump up. “The reality is Riverview is drawing water from the bottom. It’s like when you suck water from a bucket, you’ll have water until it’s empty. While people with shorter straws, they get nothing.” hydrologist Uhlman commented. In addition to the state of Arizona, the US also issued an urgent notice about the risk of water shortage in the state of Nevada. The main reason, according to the US Bureau of Reclamation, is climate change causing less snow and ice to flow into lakes and rivers. In addition, hotter temperatures dry the soil, causing more river water to evaporate as it flows through the drought-stricken western United States.

Acne on the face makes you lose confidence. Image source: Internet No one can choose a tube of face wash indiscriminately, even less people with acne. It is the cleansers that cause dryness (which you often mistakenly think they help your skin reduce oil) that will make the skin produce more oil, thereby making acne difficult to control.

Tofu Like soy milk, tofu is also made from the same ingredients, so it has a very high amount of estrogen. If you have facial tan, you should use this food less and replace it with other dishes like chicken breast with high protein and low calories. Drying fruits It seems that dried fruit is a food that is not harmful to health, but this is an extremely estrogen-rich dish. It is best to choose low-calorie fresh fruits to replace dried fruit. Fresh fruit also offers more health benefits. But not all fruits are low in estrogen, so do your research before you buy them. Sesame seeds Sesame seeds are loved for their attractive aroma and are often used as a seasoning for many dishes. But experts say sesame seeds are also high in estrogen. Peas Peas and black-eyed peas, in addition to having high estrogen, also contain a lot of starch and calories that are not good for women to lose weight.

Perhaps you do not know, milk will worsen skin problems, especially acne, enemies that do not belong to the skin. Research by Harvard University has proven that people who often get acne if you drink cow’s milk, acne will get worse. Because cow’s milk contains hormones androgen , a compound that promotes the production of acne more quickly, increases the activity of the sebaceous glands, causes the skin to increase sebum secretion, is the leading acne factor. At the same time the hormones in milk react with these testosterone in the body increases the production of sebum in the skin, clog pores that can lead to dermatitis. Not only that, but overusing milk and dairy products can also promote inflammation, making skin visibly worse. According to Dr. Joshua Zeichner, Associate Professor of Dermatology and Head of Clinical and Cosmetic Research at Mount Sinai Hospital: “Milk, especially skim milk, is associated with skin inflammation and acne. Research shows that skim milk products contain high amounts of sugar or milk whey protein Contains many active substances that stimulate our oil glands. This means that the skin is more oily and more inflamed, leading to pimples. Doctor Corey L. Hartman The Skin Wellness Dermatology explains: “ Whey protein is the mixture the protein isolated from whey , is the liquid portion of milk that is separated when cheese is made. From that, the protein This can create effects domino . Whey Increases the production of seed growth factors Insulin 1 (IGF-1). Insulin Increases oil production, which contributes to the development of acne. It also activates hormone production androgen, testosterone irritates oil and causes acne ”. Furthermore, the IGF-1 content of skim milk is much higher than that of whole milk. This compound has the ability to have an impact on the body, causing acne to grow faster than normal. And cow’s milk contains casein – a kind the protein other associated with IGF-1 – and high content progesterone is converted into acne-stimulating hormone testosterone dihydroxy in human sebaceous glands. Not only that, but also contains milk lactose – a natural sugar that provides energy, calcium … When passing through puberty, the body will find it harder to absorb and digest this substance than when it was a child. However, if you are unlucky it falls into 65% of the percentage of people who do not consume lactose acne status will “find” you faster than normal people! What is the alternative solution for our “love” and milk? Switching to other types of milk like oat milk is the opinion of many people, but it still doesn’t really change anything. Although the milk replacements may not contain casein, whey protein hormones and can help consumers avoid skin and digestive problems. But they can be prepared with gum, emulsifier, preservative, carrageenans and add sugar. These can also cause intestinal and skin problems. Milk is not completely bad for the skin.
