Ogallala Aquifer contributes to the local economy by offering fresh water. However, the overuse of its water makes uncertain its future as a water source. The food production may decrease and therefore the economy there may suffer. Moreover, the food price may become higher globally. To combat this problem, local governments have restricted water usage for agriculture. Now, farmers must install equipment to monitor their water usage. This expensive equipment is driving farmers into financial hardship. Furthermore, the water usage restriction may make the land itself valueless. A lot of farmers are worried that they may not continue agriculture there.

The world average temperature has been rising year by year and may continue to rise in the future. Climate change is one of the most imminent problems we have to address. Given the current situation, in my opinion, wealthy nations should be more responsible than poorer nations for preventing climate change.
First of all, current climate change is caused primarily by currently wealthy countries. Wealthy countries have emitted more greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide than poorer countries. Hence, developed countries assume moral responsibility to take initiatives to deal with climate change.
Second, wealthy nations have advanced technology to address climate change. For example, new technology is currently being developed in order to trap carbon dioxide before it goes into the atmosphere. If this kind of technology becomes available all around the world, we will be able to curb global warming.
Third, poor countries usually don’t have enough financial resources to use for climate change prevention. Hence, wealthy countries should invest in poorer countries so that the latter can address climate change.
In conclusion, developed countries have more responsibility than developing countries for preventing climate change. Climate change is a global issue and therefore all the countries should cooperate in order to combat it.
