Answer to Question 1

Sewage from individual homes may be handled using a septic system with a leaching field. (O)n-site systems frequently fail, resulting in unpleasant sewage backup into homes and pollution of groundwater and surface water.

Answer to Question 2

1) California is a major produce resource for the United States and those crops require large amounts of water to thrive. 2) California receives most of the water it uses from long distances via irrigation. 3) Other water is pumped from wells that are not replaced anywhere near as quickly as the water is being removed.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
