  • Protectionism on the March Water Shortage
    Supplemento al numero odierno de la Repubblica Sped. abb. postale art. 1 legge 46/04 del 27/02/2004 — Roma MONDAY, MARCH 30, 2009 Copyright © 2009 The New York Times A Thirsty World Some of the most iconic images of the Great Depression come from the parched states of the American prairie, where arid land forced farm families to flee in search of jobs and sus- tenance. Their plight gave rise to Woody Guth- rie’s Dust Bowl ballads and LENS John Steinbeck’s “Grapes of Wrath.” The Dust Bowl was brought on by destruc- tive farming practices compounded by years of drought. But its devastat- ing effects worsened the damage of the broader economic collapse. Something similar is happening around the world now. Persistent droughts from Australia to Afghanistan to Spain to Argentina are com- bining with the global recession to squeeze farmers and ranchers. In Northern China, as Michael Wines re- ported in The Times, the worst drought in half a century is crippling a region that grows three-fifths of the country’s crops. Zheng Songxian, a wheat farmer in the village of Qiaobei, told Mr. Wines he expected to lose at least a third of his crop this year. “If we don’t get rain before May, I won’t be able to harvest anything,” he added. (Chinese officials have said the drought will not have a noticeable impact on overall grain production.) The Western United States, from Texas to California, is also contending with a serious Protectionism on the March water shortage. In California’s heavily agri- cultural Central Valley, cities like Mendota have seen unemployment rates as high as 35 percent.
