Some of these concerns are justified while others are more perceptual in nature. Municipalities are often lobbied by ratepayers to take action and to manage the risks associated with a changing and sometimes growing livestock industry. People see an evolving livestock industry affecting their personal quality of life, including the air that they breathe and the water that they drink This paper reviews some of the key societal, demographic and agricultural trends which impact at the community level. These trends translate into certain environmental, economic and socio-political concerns for which this paper offers a range of regulatory, voluntary, educational (research) and community based tools that can be applied to help manage related risks. The challenge for municipalities is to strike an effective balance between these initiatives.

87. Chicago In 1900 Geography geography. Chicago is located on a flat lake shore near the southern tip of Lake michigan. By 1900 the city already covered 190 square miles, and the area http://www.chipublib.org/004chicago/1900/geog.html

Geography Physically the major changes since 1900 have been building, drainage and filling. drainage by the Chicago Sewer System and the Water Reclamation District, and are now covered with buildings. Sanitary and Ship Canal opened. The flow of the Chicago River was reversed from Lake Michigan to the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. Since most of the densely populated central area was drained into the Chicago River via the sewer system, this action effectively shifted the continental divide from the western edge of the city to the very shore of Lake Michigan. This process was completed later in the century with the completion of the North Shore Channel, the Cal-Sag Channel and the sewer system. The population As people crowded together, there was a tendency for immigrants to cluster with others who shared a common ethnic heritage. Although actual census data tends to suggest that few neighborhoods had more than 50% of any particular national group, neighborhoods often became identified with specific ethnic groups, and were named appropriately. Some of those names which have come down to us include Pilsen, Holstein, Bronzeville, Little Italy and Chinatown (note: these names do not necessarily refer to the same areas now as they did earlier) Sources: Benedict, Lyle.
